Episode 50: Turning Change into Opportunity – with Carmelina Piedra
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this episode, I sit down with career coach Carmelina Piedra to talk about what really drives career growth and business success. We explore her coaching services that span job seeking, career development, and business support, and why networking delivers far better results (a whopping 70–80%) compared to just sending out applications (only about 10%). Carmelina shares how she tailors her coaching for individuals and groups, including job-seeking cohorts, and breaks down the mix of people she supports: job seekers, proactive career builders, and even businesses and fellow coaches. We also dive into why tracking metrics and outcomes matters so much for long-term growth. Plus, Carmelina introduces her new venture, designed to help coaches launch and scale their practices.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">If you enjoy these conversations with industry leaders and Super ICs, support the podcast by becoming a sponsor, learn more, and help future-proof your career/teams: Contact <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/cathibosco/">Cathi Bosco</a></p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Related interesting reads or resources</h2> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li><a href="https://careercoachingpro.com"></a><a href="https://www.careercoachingpro.com/services-for-individuals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Individuals &#124; Career Coaching Pro</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.careercoachingpro.com/services-for-businesses" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Businesses &#124; Career Coaching Pro</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.careercoachingpro.com/services-for-coaches" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Coaches &#124; Career Coaching Pro</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.careercoachingpro.com/coaching-packages">1:1 personalized coaching</a></li> <li>The free job seeking cohort (pay only after you receive an offer, which is 3% of the annualized salary: <a href="https://www.careercoachingpro.com/cohort-group-options" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.careercoachingpro.com/cohort-group-options</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.careercoachingpro.com/blog">Forbes Blog</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/carmelina">Client recommendations on Carmelina&#8217;s LinkedIn</a></li> <li>Client reviews on Career Coaching Pro Website (pulled from LinkedIn):&#160;<a href="https://www.careercoachingpro.com/reviews" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.careercoachingpro.com/reviews</a></li> <li><a href="https://interviewsby.ai/">Interviewsby.ai</a></li> <li><a href="https://youtu.be/Ccz3QVFk3GA">Watch this episode on YouTube</a></li> </ul> <p><!--more--></p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">

Episode 49: Design Is How Smart Teams Decide – with Pavel Samsonov
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In this conversation, Pavel Samsonov, a Problem Designer, discusses the importance of problem scoping and definition in design, criticizing the linear approach of the Double Diamond model. He emphasizes the need for reflection and feedback loops in the design process, advocating for a more strategic and continuous learning-first approach. We also critique the misguided emphasis on Design Thinking and the democratization of research, arguing for a more integrated and collaborative approach to design within organizations.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">You may know Pavel Samsonov&#8217;s work through his writing. He publishes a newsletter called <a href="https://productpicnic.beehiiv.com/">Product Picnic</a> &#8211; go subscribe today! It’s important work.
