  • How to land your dream job & confidently navigate the hiring process w/Caro Perez Grissom

    Ever find yourself wondering about what it really takes to get hired with ease in today’s chaotic job market? Let’s answer that.


    Today I have partnered with Caro Perez to have a powerful conversation about how to navigate getting hired with confidence.


    When I thought about the expert that I wanted to support me with this topic, Caro was the first person that came to

    mind.


    Caro has done recruiting and talent development for one of the biggest tech companies in the world and has a wealth of knowledge to offer you.


    She is such a powerhouse that has been one of the brightest lights within my elevation squad (ps: I cannot wait for you to hear how we met) and I am so excited for her to share her incredible light, her brilliant mind and all of her mind blowing expertise with you today.


    Here is what we are covering in our chat:

    • We are breaking down why are so many people struggling to get hired right now.
    • We are covering the most underrated qualities, bankable qualities and what specifically recruiters look for when hiring.
    • We have a sure-fire strategy to help you present yourself with confidence and wow every room you walk into without having to “fake it” or “try to be something you are not”   
    • We will introduce you to a mindset to embrace that will help you use no’s & rejection as fuel that redirects you to exactly where you are supposed to be.
    • We will show you why vulnerability & authenticity are
      • key in getting hired (I know you just cringed but don’t worry – we are going to walk you through how to manage the cringe. We’ve got your back on this because once you learn to embrace the cringe – this will be one of your most powerful success generating skills)
    • And – we will be putting this to bed how to answer the dreaded question “tell me about a weakness you have”. Don’t worry – after this you will know exactly how to answer this with certainty & ease.


      • Let’s get into it.

    • 6️⃣ tips to present yourself with ⚡️CONFIDENCE⚡️
      One of the things I get asked the most is “how do I present myself with confidence”.
      Today – I want to offer you 6 power tips to help you do exactly that.
      These tips are the difference between:
      🔹Being the woman who walks into a room, confidently taking up all the space with energy so powerful that leaves everyone wondering “WHO IS THAT?” without you ever having to say a word vs. walking into a room and instantly looking down to reach for your phone because you feel so uncomfortable wondering – OMG, do I look ok? Is everyone staring at me? Where can I hide?
      🔹Standing on a stage with confident authority prepared to slay fueled by devout knowing you are about to kill it because you were made for this moment vs. getting so in your head that you are on the verge of a panic attack, fumbling with your notecards, wondering what everyone will think when you fall apart because you aren’t good enough to even be on the stage to begin with.
      🔹Wearing something that magnetizes people towards you adorned with confidence as your most powerful accessory, feeling so secure & valuable in your own skin vs. letting something wear you, minimizing yourself because you feel so uncomfortable while your subconscious discomfort is unknowingly repelling people away from you because they can feel something is off with you.
      My goal with these tips is to help you:
      1. Let go of the idea you need to fake it until you make it (because for most of us, this mindset leads to crippling imposter syndrome and compare & despair)
      2. Get out of your head so you are no longer weighed down by the heavy doubt, pressure, insecurity and anxiety that comes along with feeling you need to be perfect or get it right all of the time
      3. Disempower the fear of judgement so you can do what you want to do without worrying what anyone else thinks about you
      4. Be aware of what your body language is actually saying to people
      5. Dress in a way that helps you shine and attract people towards you vs. helping you hide and unintentionally repelling people away because your energy is off
      6. Feel so prepared that no matter what situation you walk into, you don’t need to get ready because you are ALWAYS ready.
      Alright – Now that we have covered the focus of today's episode, I am so excited to pump you full of today’s confidence injection.
      AND - I invite you to start applying these tips right away. Do not sit on these because the sooner you apply what I am about to teach you, the sooner you begin presenting yourself with confidence.
      Let’s get into it.

    • Why your friends can make or break your success…

      Have you ever heard the saying “you are the sum of the 5 people you spend the most time with?” – Well its true.


      And this is why the friends you surround yourself with have the potential to make or break your success.


      Some people were not put here to evolve. They are here to remind you of what it looks like when you don’t.


      In today’s episode, I want to show you which relationships will help you get to the next level and which ones will keep you exactly where you are at.

       

      Here is what we are covering today:

       

      1.   The 5 friend archetypes that will hold you back in life & why we need to normalize outgrowing these types of relationships


      2.   The reasons behind why I let multiple 20+ year friendships years go and why this instantly elevated my success


      3.   Why you need an elevation squad & how having this add so much value to your life


      4.   What healthy friendships are supposed to look and feel like


      5.   Signs of unhealthy friendships and the toll these will take on your mental + emotional health & your success


      6.   Why the length of your relationship is not a good reason to stay in a friendship


      7.   10 questions to ask yourself to determine which friendships are with keeping and which ones you need to let go of


      8.   How you will feel once you let these toxic friendships go


      So let’s dive into talking about your friends and see if it is time to lose the weight of relationships that are no longer serving you.

       

      PS: Inside the CAN Program, I teach you how to assign your elevation squad. So many of my clients found this exercise beyond valuable and asked me to create a workbook on this.


      I included this inside my free confidence generating toolkit because I wanted every woman to have access to this tool.


      If you want me to send you this workbook, message on Instagram @yoursoulmakeup and I will email this right over to you.

    • LYBL Challenge: Week 3 - Book Your Best Life

      Ready to bring your best life to life?


      In Week 3 of the Live Your Best Life Challenge, we are taking steps to book your best life & make the things you want to do your priority.


      So let's get some fun scheduled.


      Let's get self care time scheduled.


      Let's get something from your 2024 bucket list scheduled.


      And - I also encourage you to calendar anything serving as a focus/energy leak that you find yourself overthinking on a daily/weekly basis (ie: doctors/dentist appt, car service, calling a credit card company, cleaning out a closet, etc.)


      By calendaring the action items, this drastically increases your ability to follow through for yourself.


      Plus - doesn’t it feel fabulous when you always have something on your calendar to look forward to?


      TIP: If you find yourself putting something off or dreading something on your list, focus on how you will feel once it is done. Stay attached to how you will feel once it is completed when the dread, resistance or procrastination comes to help yourself stay committed to following through.


      Alright - let's take your next step to make the vision of your best life your reality.
