  • Ep.11 An AI experiment: A (quick)deep dive into the things I talk about during my coaching sessions.
    Oct 5 2024

    This episode is 100% AI produced by a new experimental Google program called NotebookLM. The summary and the spoken version is 100% AI but it’s based on my 136+ page google document of my coaching notes.


    This is an experiment and a fun way to give you an idea of the things I talk about as well as my language/communication and leadership coaching philosophies. This document will eventually become my book.


    During my coaching sessions, I am continuously experimenting and exploring with more efficient ways to help my clients reach their goals. Therefore, I use quite a bit of AI, but, there are also some things which cannot be replaced by and these form the backbone of my methodology: reading, free writing and my undivided attention.

  • Ep. 10 How Learning a Language is like Learning to Draw and to Meditate
    Aug 1 2024
    “If you know the way broadly, you will see it in everything” - Miyamoto Musashi, Master Swordsman Learning a language uses the same seven attitudinal foundations that meditation and learning to draw from observation do. However, in truth, most things in life are like this: the same approach will allow you to deeply learn most skills.

  • Ep. 1 Master your interview
    Jul 29 2024

    A simple and powerful method to handle any interview or questioning based on neuroscience and tactical empathy.


    THE MBL METHOD(Mirror, Breathe, Label, method by Nicolas Luna, inspired from Chris Voss's amazing work)


    ✓1.🪞 Mirror the questions Examples of mirroring (repeat the last few words):

    ↳Interviewer: "Tell me about a challenging situation you faced at work."

    ↳You: "A challenging situation at work?"

    ↳Interviewer: "Yes, how did you handle it?📍This technique helps you gain time to think and encourages the interviewer to elaborate.


    ✓2.🫁 Take a deep breath to calm your nerves


    ✓3.🏷️ Label the interviewer's intent Example of labeling: ↳Interviewer: "Can you walk me through a project where you had to meet a tight deadline?"

    ↳You: "It sounds like you're interested in understanding how I manage time pressure and prioritize tasks under constraints. ↳Interviewer: "exactly! Tell me something about it!"📍This technique helps clarify the interviewer's intentions and create a connection.


    💡💡ADDITIONAL TIPS


    ✓ Use shorter sentences


    ✓ Pay attention to your tone and body language


    ✓Smile!


    ✓ Answer the unasked question


    ✓ If overwhelmed, label your feelings ("I notice I'm feeling nervous")
