Sandra started her international career in recruitment in June 2002 in Budapest, Hungary, at TMP Worldwide (now Hudson) in the Legal Recruitment Department (now Legalis). She has worked with executives in CEE while being based in both Budapest and Warsaw, Poland. In June 2010, after a 2-year break in recruitment (Sales & Marketing Manager in Latin America), Sandra decided to change, though not moving in-house, but to what she likes calling “the third side” of the recruitment process: supporting executives in their job-hunting process.

Sandra works in English, Polish, German, and Spanish. She also speaks Portuguese and French. She has gained international experience working in I .a. Ecuador, Mexico, Hungary, Poland, Austria, Spain, Belgium, Germany, etc. 

Sandra founded Career Angels, an international career consulting boutique that provides tailor-made services since 2010. Career Angles team is formed by active and retired Executive Search / HR Consultants with usually over 10 or 15 years of business and/or in-house experience as Recruiters or HR Managers. Despite their expertise, they continue to consult their ideas, thoughts, and methodologies with decision-makers and their colleagues on the market. 

There is no “one-size-fits-all-kinda solution,” but there are underlying principles that will help you, an experienced manager, navigate through the job hunting process in the 21st century!

Kartika Alexandra on Relationship Issues, Attraction, and How to Build Healthy Relationships. 

I initially wanted to create a podcast interview to discuss the topic of managing relationships and avoiding conflicts during the Covid19 confinement period. But then I decided to make the conversation more generic and talk about what makes relationships successful because I believe that the importance of having healthy relationships goes beyond the confinement time. Being in locked dow only bring the issues back to the surface, now that you have nowhere to hide.

In this conversation, Kartika and I talk about the law of attraction, the honeymoon phase, the issues, selecting the right partner, how not to bring the past to the present, how to resolve conflicts and how not to keep repeating the same old patterns by selecting/attracting the same type of partners.

Kartika Alexandra holds a degree in psychology and works as a hypnotherapist. She is also the owner and founder of Holistic Healing Hypnosis. A top-rated therapy center in Bali, Indonesia providing personalized profound therapy session, face to face and remote. I reached out to her a little while ago, when I was going through some challenging times and found her services very helpful. In a previous podcast, we discussed the power of the subconscious mind, and we dived into the "behind the scenes" of our attitudes, actions, and behaviors. That interview was one of my most recent popular ones, and if you haven't listened to it yet, please feel free to go back to episode 23 and tune in.

RELATIONSHIP ISSUES

The topic of relationships is so complex yet very interesting and exciting. And even though we covered a lot during the 75 min of this conversation, I feel like we barely scratched the surface. There are a lot of great insights and learnings, and I wish these things were thought to us at an early age when we just started dating and before making our first moves into committed relationships. Perhaps then we would lower the 50%+ divorce rates and family shatterings.

One of the most common mistakes we all do is diving headfirst into what we believe is "true love," as it was pushed into us by our parents, culture, media, stories, and novels—leading us to naively believe or misunderstand love at first sight, soulmates, twin flames, and the happily ever after.  When, in fact, and as you will find out in the conversations, things are a little less romantic than that. Our biochemistry, our energy levels, and our subconscious mind play a massive role in interpreting the messages we see through an often confused lens. We push our issues to our partners; we replicate our childhood models into our own families and tend to blame rather than take responsibility for our own actions, past experiences, and baggage.

Healthy relationships bring us the happiest moments in our lives, but at the same time, they can also create the most miserable experiences. These are really just opportunities for one to heal and release their past.

It is our lack of understanding of our own human nature that leads us to poor decision making. As Tony Robbins said, the two skills to master to create an ultimate relationship are Select and Connect. What "Selects" means is being able to choose the right partner. So what criteria are you using to select that person? Do you have a list of things that matter? Well, you know what, most of the time, your selection is going beyond your conscious choices. It is what's in your subconscious that is attracted to the subconscious of the person in front of you. Go back and reread this last one. It's that same subconscious that is making you win that relationship or lose it, which is why it is essential to get to know yourself.

I've been invited to an exclusive Zoom webinar with Falcons Startup on how to build resilience and be in the right mindset during times of crisis. During the webinar, I discuss how to build resilience and be in the right mindset during these challenging times. I discussed the actual situation and how it is impacting our mental, emotional, and physical state, business, and relationships. It's an interactive session where I was sharing intel on how one can improve their wellbeing from mental, physical, and emotional points. Participants learned about different emotional management and coping strategies, how to optimize their days to be more performant.

The Subconscious mind is far more powerful than the conscious mind. Over ninety percent of our daily actions and behaviors come from what we store in our subconscious. 

In this podcast interview, meet Kartika Alexandra, who shares key insights on the benefits of Hypnotherapy. Kartika works with clients to help them overcome issues and topics by accessing and working with their subconscious mind. 

Based in Bali Indonesia, Kartika is the founder of Holistic Healing Hypnosis and Maja Healing, a wellness center fueled by accomplished healers and therapists. Her satisfaction comes from seeing people experiencing clarity and understanding as to why they are who they are today. Kartika helps her clients make realizations to have more insight into themselves, their own mind, their own potential.

In this podcast, you will learn:

* The benefit of meditation and silent retreats

* The different states of mind

* What hypnosis really is

* How hypnosis is backed up by science

* Who can benefit from hypnosis

* How do we learn things as humans

* The role of the subconscious mind

* The difference between the subconscious and the conscious mind

Kartika and I met through a mutual friend. I was immediately interested in knowing more about her practice. I knew how hypnosis could be powerful, but I have never had the opportunity to do a session. It was until recently, by the end of 2019, that I booked a session with Kartika and experienced the transformative powers of a 3 hours long session digging deep in my past and childhood to resolve conflicts in the present moment. 

Kartika believes that each individual can heal and resolve what troubles them all by themselves. Her role is to facilitate the process in a more direct and focused way. She tailors the entire session according to who the client is and what will help them resolve their issue as quickly and safely as possible.

Having a successful sporting career isn't always guaranteed. There are lots of ups and downs, injuries, and stressful moments along the way. 

But what is it that makes some athletes stand out more than others? And what is the secret to a glorious sporting career that actually continues long past the competitive periods? 

Annie Boulanger, my podcast guest for this episode, has clearly found the way to be a successful athlete beyond and over the time when she was competing.

Being now retired professional snowboarder, she spends half of the year chasing waves, and the other half chasing snow in the mountains. Annie quickly understood that being a professional athlete is such a mind game, and that is why she chose to work with a sports psychologist in an early period of her career. 

Annie shares with us her story, what she enjoys doing, and where she likes to spend her time. She shares with us key insights on what she learned during her competitive period and who influenced her the most.

In this podcast, you will learn:

* What it takes to have a successful sporting career

* How to pursue your dreams

* The most important thing for career success

* The power of optimism 

* The benefits of working with a sports performance psychologist

* Why it is not good to have a plan B

Annie has also been involved in the snowboard film industry, which was a part of her career dreams. It seems like her life purpose right now is to live life to its fullest, surrounded by good friends, lots of adventures, and continuous learning. 

Annie and I met during a surf trip on a remote island in the Indonesian archipelago. My first impression was that she was very friendly and especially very helpful when our airline rescheduled our ticket and we were risking to miss our connection to our final destination.
