I've been thinking for a while what to talk about in my Episode just before Christmas - and which other topic seems more obvious than gratefulness?

In some ways, it's become a hype in the past years, because everybody seems to be talking about it. But there are definitely worse hypes out there, than to focus on the good things in your life - or what do you think?

Therefore, in today's Epsiode you will find out why I personally consider being grateful for who you are and for what you have so important. I'll also share the world's simplest gratefulness excercise with you that you can very easily implement on a daily basis. 

And of course: you will also find out what I am extremly grateful for if you listen until the end.

If you feel like sharing with me what you are grateful for or any other type of feedback, you can always reach me through LinkedIn or e-mail.

I can't wait to hear from you!

By popular demand, Yadu is back! And we've flipped the script on the traditional interview process, as listeners who heard Episode #28 might have seen coming - he's doing the interview this time!

For the first time in the history of The Empower to Grow Career Podcast, I am on the guest chair and answering a fun list of questions about me and the truths behind all my content creation.

You'll find the answers to weird and maybe controversial questions about recruitment in Germany, FAQ from clients and a discussion about biases on international names in the hiring process.

We go through what should be changed in the hiring process in Germany, habits and systems and leveraging them in terms of job search strategies. Also on the menu are book recommendations, podcasts and other resources that I love consuming!

We end things off on a quick fire round - and some answers, I am sure, will surprise you.

If there is any other questions that YOU would like to add to an episode - here's a direct link to add your questions - and we will come back and do a follow up episode!

You can have the best jobsearch strategy, perfect application documents, a supportive network, prepare meticulously for interviews and still not succeed in creating your dream career. But why is that?

Have you already heard about limiting beliefs aka the stories you tell yourself and believe to be absolutely true? If you haven't, but keep asking yourself "Why am I not successful with what I am doing?" this is a worthwhile field to tap into.

If you are already aware of some of your beliefs - let's check if you hold any of the examples I mention during this Episode.

With my experience as a Career Coach for internationals in Germany, I have been able to identify a whole set of shared limiting beliefs that might stop you from achieving your career goals. The shocking fact is: Not a lot of people actually dare to work on them and change them!

With this Epsiode, you can make the first step, as I am sharing one of my favourite strategies about how to identify these stories in your head and how to change them to serve you instead of limit you.

I would be keen to hear what you think about this Episode! Feel free to share your feedback in a direct message to me on LinkedIn.

Would you like some help in identifying and changing the beliefs that limit you? Then reach out and book your free 15 minute Discovery Call with me: https://calendly.com/sarah-groetzinger/15-minute-discovery-call 

After the amazingly successful episode I did with Yadu last week, I felt the need to talk about something BIG today.

And what could be bigger than showing you a step by step process of how to achieve the goals that currently seem faaaar out of reach for you.

No matter if this is founding your own company, financial freedom, learning to skydive - the bigger, the better.

Based on my own story and experiences, I will show you:
