Part One of a two-part conversation: Miguel is a former leader in a top Mexican coffee company now residing in Canada. Despite impressive credentials, his early years here were defined by survival jobs, shaking his confidence. With resilient determination and mentorship, he transformed his path, achieving his "Canadian Dream." Today, Miguel helps countless newcomers find meaningful employment faster.
In this first part of our conversation, we discuss:
- Adapting to a New Culture: Miguel had to relearn even the most basic behaviours, like greetings, and adapt to a new communication style.
- The Power of Effective Communication: Miguel shares his struggle with adapting to the Canadian communication style, which is more concise and direct. He emphasizes the importance of asking powerful questions and seeking candid feedback.
- Identity and Vulnerability: Miguel faced an identity crisis and had to redefine his sense of self. He also discusses the cultural concept of vulnerability.
