Our HOLA United ERG really loved Jose's seminar on Building Your Personal Brand with a Latin Twist. The team found Jose to be very engaging and authentic. Very much appreciate his willingness to host this virtual seminar for our team!

We brought Jose to present 6 career growth sessions to our members and also group coaching. Our members had GLOWING comments for Jose in our chat and often times it was mentioned how Jose's words were exactly what they need to hear. Participants walked away with tangible actions for their career and above all the, the confidence to go after what they deserved in their careers. Thank you, Jose!

I have heard of Jose's coaching services from my girlfriend. She referred how insightful and helpful he was and she was right! José is very articulate and provides relevant, tailor-made advice. Also he was very acommodating and kind given the short notice I engaged him with. I am highly pleased with the experience and will definitely reach him out in the future as I need it. I super recommend him.

Jose’s coaching creates career growth patterns. He has techniques to reframe the conversation with supervisors, so you each get what you need. He is the guy to talk to when you are looking for a promotion.

I recently had the pleasure of attending a seminar led by Jose Pinero, and it was excellent. The most important aspect of his work is that he indeed provides clear, specific, and actionable advice. He spoke at a company event and the feedback has been incredibly positive. Jose fosters an interactive environment. He is very energetic, actively welcomes questions, and delves into specific situations, offering personalized recommendations. This approach ensures everyone gets so much value. His responsiveness, positive attitude, and actionable advice are excellent. You'll walk away from his program feeling empowered and equipped to make a real difference in your professional journey. I am very much looking forward to learning more from Jose, and I am confident others will get so much value from his insights and actionable recommendations.

Jose delivered an insightful seminar focusing on various aspects of career development and guidance for our Vamos ERG members. One of the most valuable elements was his ability to relate everyday office nuances to Lantin/x cultural backgrounds, offering a unique perspective that sparked meaningful discussions and thoughtful reflections. Jose's insights have proven to be both useful and impactful when put into practice. We highly recommend him as a guest speaker.

I contacted Jose during a job transition and he helped me get a great new job within a couple of months. And the role is in a growing company within my target company size. Jose is a dynamic, impactful coach and provided great help to land this fantastic role. We had multiple coaching sessions and he was with me every step of the way. Jose started the process by understanding my job hunt goals, career aspirations, and my personal life goals. This helped me think through the right companies to target. Then Jose helped me update my resume, LinkedIn, and most importantly my personal branding statement. We rehearsed that together and I believe that helped me better sell myself during the interview process. Jose also provided sample interview questions and did a mock interview with me to ensure I was solid in my responses. Jose was available anytime I needed him and extremely responsive, especially at the later stages of my job process. When an offer came in and I needed advice on how best to proceed, Jose responded to my text and hopped on the phone. I jokingly tell Jose that he is now 3 for 3 when it comes to helping people - he helped my son get a job, another friend of ours get a job, and now me. He is batting 1000! If you are looking to make a job change or need help getting a new role, I highly recommend Jose.

Jose’s seminar on Personal Branding, Impact, and Influence was a hit with our Latinx ERG members and allies. Several people reached out expressing how valuable, insightful, and practical the session was. Jose is a wonderful speaker. He handled the audience and their questions in depth which showed his high level of expertise. Our ERG team is eager to have him continue sharing his knowledge with our organization, and I highly encourage others to have Jose share with their companies as well.

Jose delivered a great career workshop to the Ford Hispanic & Latino ERG members and allies. He gave actionable tips and perspectives on how to be intentional and responsible for our own career growth. He encouraged the team to interact during the seminar and kept the session fun. We look forward to our next workshop with Jose. I am the People Focus Lead for the Ford Hispanic & Latino Network. 

Jose, I just attended your seminar and wow! I have attended a number of events like this, for both myself and my teams, and have gotten nuggets from all of them, but I can't remember a more comprehensive and useful hour of time. Thank you!

Jose’s coaching has helped me gain confidence, advocate for myself, and navigate difficult conversations in the workplace. Jose is very knowledgeable and cares deeply about his clients. This isn’t resume development or job interview skills. His coaching is truly about leadership development. I appreciate that his work is authentic and mission-driven. Go for it. You will become more confident and learn so much from Jose.

Career coach José Piñero delivered an insightful session on career growth titled "How to Accelerate Your Career as a Diverse Employee".   He engaged participants in awesome dialogue, fostering an environment where everyone felt comfortable interacting and expressing their thoughts.   José provided valuable information with real-life examples that resonated with participants on a personal level. Many expressed how they could directly relate to the examples provided, feeling seen and understood in a way they hadn't experienced before. For some, it was a transformative experience, offering solutions to specific challenges they were facing in their careers.   Attendees left the session feeling empowered, armed with actionable strategies to navigate their career journeys effectively.   The overwhelmingly positive feedback from those who attended speaks volumes about the impact of Jose's coaching. His ability to connect with individuals on a personal level and provide them with tangible solutions left a lasting impression.

Jose's seminar opened my eyes and validated some of my sentiments about the cultural barriers facing the Latino community. He provided valuable tools that not just Latinos but also the general public can use as tools to pursue their professional goals. Jose's seminar was relatable, practical, and, most importantly, engaging to all audience members. We received a ton of positive feedback from employees who attended. Jose Pinero touches on subjects and content that are rarely talked about but does so in a professional way that leaves people empowered to use the tools he provides in their own pursuits.

Since graduating from Stanford in 2022, I struggled to find my career path; I wasn't sure what I wanted to work on, the type of company I wanted to join, etc. I struggled in job interviews because the interviewers could sense this self-doubt I felt in both the direction of my life and in my own skills. Then Jose came along and changed all of that. He was so instrumental in helping re-establish my self-confidence and trust in my abilities. He provided a great contrast to my perspective, encouraging me to keep trying and turn what I thought were my weaknesses into my strengths. He gave me great advice to not only do well in interviews but actually thrive, as well as direct my overall career path. Since my coaching with Jose, I have now started a new position as AI Software Engineer at Siemens on a brand-new team. I now feel like a part of my industry again, contributing to something great. I know I couldn't have gotten here without Jose. I highly recommend Jose's coaching if you are on the job market and need help with anything from job interviews all the way to your general career direction and long-term goals. My name is Tom McIlwain, I am an AI Engineer at Siemens who has a Master's from Stanford and a Bachelor's from UW, both in Bioengineering.

Jose was amazing as a coach!! He came to our sessions with a lot of enthusiasm, it was clear that he was eager to help me grow and succeed. Thanks to Jose's strategies and guidance, I was able to land a new job and even negotiate a higher salary. His service was invaluable and I really appreciate the confidence he gave me to progress in my career development.

Jose Pinero delivered a killer seminar on personal branding and ways to use our Latinx cultural strengths to advance our careers. The best thing about our experience with Jose was his openness, energy, relatability, and approachability during the seminar! He engaged our whole group, and they loved him! I highly encourage people to take Jose up as a coach or speaker! He is a true expert in the field of career and professional development. 

My name is Damian Garcia-Sarraff. I am an Account Manager for Dow and the Hispanic and Latin Programs Implementation Leader for virtual employees.

As my coach, José has helped me understand what my strengths are and what I need to develop, removing a lot of the internal noise that comes from trying to figure it out on my own. The best thing about working with José is that he understands the nuances of the Latino culture and has helped me navigate various complex corporate scenarios with success. To anyone out there considering working with José, go for it. In two months, I feel like an upgraded version of myself. And to women, I was reluctant at first because I thought "I'm not sure if José will get my invisible challenges, as a man." He does, and that made a huge difference for me. Thank you, José!

I am the chair of the Organization of Latinos employee resource group at Eli Lilly. Jose has been a wonderful partner. His flexibility and listening skills made it easy to work with, ensured we delivered a workshop for our ERG members that was relevant, practical, and that provided actionable insights for their professional development. Our members found the workshop insightful, eye-opening, and uplifting. The session was very interactive and allowed attendees the opportunity to ask questions and engage, making it fun and dynamic. We will continue partnering with Jose to bring great content to accelerate the career growth of our Latino colleagues.

I was initially connected to Jose through my employer (Facebook/Meta) for career coaching. Our relationship quickly became more broad than just careers, and my work with Jose helped me make concrete positive changes not only at work but more broadly across many parts of my personal life. I found Jose to be experienced, insightful, and easy to talk to, and I would love to continue to work with him in the future. I'd recommend Jose to anyone looking for help in reframing decisions and finding ways to go after their passions in life!

I reached out to Jose after I saw an article he wrote. As a Latina woman working in the non-profit world, it was very difficult for me to speak up for myself. At the time, I was the Executive Director of Early Childhood Programs at a non-profit organization, managing a $3 million budget and operating four different programs. Jose gave me the language and confidence to request a salary increase. He taught me how to leverage data and facts while highlighting the value I brought to the organization. He worked with me and provided a clear picture of how the "asking for a raise" conversations should take place and how I should follow up with my manager. After a few meetings with upper management, I am glad to say I received the salary increase I wanted. Furthermore, through our monthly coaching over a year, Jose really provided me with knowledge on how to elevate myself more professionally, including leveling up my resume, social media profiles, and the language I use. I learned so many things that I now hold close to me. Part of what I learned with Jose has led me to go independent and start my own business. This has been the scariest and challenging yet exciting decision I have ever made. Jose’s coaching gave me the knowledge, encouragement, and confidence boost I needed. Thank you Jose!

I had the opportunity to work with Jose Pinero during a difficult time in my professional life as I was transitioning to my current role as an IT Director in my previous organization. Jose provided invaluable feedback and advice, encouraged me, and empowered me to take ownership of that role. Jose helped me thrive and be successful in that period of my life. He is a Latino helping other Latinos. I appreciate everything he does for our community.

I am a Solutions Engineer at Air Products and Co-Chair of the HOLA ERG. Working with Jose as my Leadership Coach has empowered me to look at things from multiple perspectives and try things differently. The best thing about my experience working with Jose is his enthusiasm and wisdom. I would tell anyone considering working with Jose to go ahead and work with him; they won't regret their decision.

Jose delivered an incredible keynote at the Walmart Hispanic Heritage Month event. His insights into the barriers faced by Latinos/Hispanics were eye-opening, and he showed us how these challenges can actually be transformed into strengths. His presentation truly ignited a spark in our associates, and I am grateful for the impact he made. His contribution was invaluable, and I am confident that the insights he shared will have a lasting impact on our team. 

If you want a competitive advantage over your peers in the job market, I highly recommend you schedule a call with Jose! We have been working together for a few years now and I've gone from my initial first job out of college to nearly tripling my salary in just 2 years. If you want results, you need a world-class coach like Jose.

I had the privilege of working with Jose as my leadership coach during my time as a founder in the Google internal startup incubator, and I can confidently say that he played an absolutely pivotal role in my journey. Navigating the tumultuous waters of the zero-to-one innovation world is like riding a rollercoaster blindfolded, and Jose's advice, support, and guidance were like a steady hand guiding me through every twist and turn. What truly sets Jose apart is his ability to provide candid, sound, and grounded perspectives. He wasn't just a coach; he was a trusted partner who understood my experience as a Latinx founder. His insights were deeply rooted in a profound understanding of the inner workings of corporations and stakeholder behavior. This made his guidance not only valuable but also incredibly practical. One of the standout qualities of Jose is his unwavering availability. Beyond our scheduled sync-ups, he was always there when I needed him. Whether I needed someone to bounce ideas off, a supporter to lift my spirits during tough times, or a trusted advisor to provide clarity on complex issues, Jose was just a text or a call away. Jose wasn't just a coach; he was a cheerleader, an advocate, and a source of unwavering encouragement. Knowing that I could lean on him for support gave me the confidence to tackle the challenges of the startup world head-on. I wholeheartedly endorse Jose as a career leadership coach. If you're looking for someone who not only understands the intricacies of the corporate world but also genuinely cares about your success and well-being, Jose is the person you need by your side. His wisdom, dedication, and support are invaluable assets for anyone navigating the challenging path of entrepreneurship and leadership. Gracias por todo Jose!

We had the privilege of having Jose as the keynote speaker for our Hispanic Heritage Month event at Air Products. Jose delivered a great message to our Hispanic employees, encouraging Latinos to embrace their culture, overcome fear, and seek support from mentors and sponsors. Also, he emphasized that asking the right questions and taking the right actions is a powerful tool for career advancement and personal growth. His speech underscored the importance of recognizing and leveraging strengths while simultaneously addressing weaknesses to pave the way for a fulfilling and successful career. He concluded with the phrase: “Latinos, let the leader in you shine and work to achieve your goals, be proud of your roots, and be the example for future generations.” He definitely exceeded the audience's expectations, and I am very happy to have Jose as my professional coach.

Incredibly insightful professional development seminar with very practical pieces of advice. We got resounding positive feedback from attendees as well who left this meeting inspired. Getting Jose to be one of our speakers for Hispanic Heritage Month was one of the best decisions and one of our best sessions too.

I'm an ESG Data Analyst at F5 Inc., working on the human rights impacts of our products. Jose helped me understand how my Latinx values could work in my favor for my career development. I used the skills he taught us and got my first promotion! My manager also participated in a professional development program Jose did, and we both improved our communication and expectations of each other. He clearly understands how the managers and leaders may perceive us and the strengths and weaknesses our cultural heritage may create for us in a work-related context. If you are thinking of getting advice from Jose, please do!

I’m Ana Arredondo, Sourcing Manager for Walmart US, and the Team Lead for the 2023 Hispanic Heritage Month Program. Jose was our Hispanic Heritage Month event keynote speaker. He was very knowledgeable and approachable. He provided great advice, best practices, and support to help us develop a plan to grow our careers. I feel more confident in my abilities and career path after attending Jose's session. I  encourage anyone interested in professional development to consider working with Jose.
