Jose’s personal branding seminar was the best one-hour investment I’ve made recently. His message was honest, direct, and highly practical. I especially appreciated how easily he addressed difficult career growth questions and shared a framework to enhance the outcomes of those conversations. Thank you, Jose—I look forward to exploring more of your content.

Hi, my name is Marina Conklin and I am a National Account Consultant for United Rentals. I am the co-lead for our employee resource group HOLA United, where we aim to build Hispanic and Latin advancement while fostering a culture of intentional inclusion and diversity. During Hispanic Heritage Month, we hosted an online live seminar conducted by Jose. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the insightful and inspiring session Jose conducted on how Latinos can elevate their careers. The presentation was not only engaging but also filled with practical advice and real-world examples that resonated deeply with me and many others in attendance. His discussion on overcoming barriers and leveraging our unique cultural strengths to advance in our professional lives was particularly empowering. It was evident that he spoke from both experience and a genuine desire to see others succeed, which made the message all the more impactful. Thank you, Jose, for sharing your knowledge and experiences with us! Your words have certainly inspired me to take proactive steps in my career and to support others in our community do the same.

I work for Suntory Global Spirits, where I am a leader for the company's Hispanic/Latinx employee resource group in addition to my full-time marketing job. This Hispanic Heritage Month, we hosted Jose for a virtual seminar on Leading with your Latino Values. With Jose's guidance, Hispanic/Latinx employees and allies alike examined cultural traits that make our community an asset in the workforce. From there, we learned how we can all embrace and amplify these values to create a stronger workplace and business results. The session was highly engaging and interactive, thought-provoking, and inspiring - I received extremely positive feedback from both latinos and allies in the company. Jose was also very friendly and organized in our pre-event interactions, making things run very smoothly on the day-of. 10/10 would recommend, and we will certainly be looking for opportunities to partner with Jose again. Gracias!

As the Program Chair for Guardian's Hispanic/Latinx ERG LA VIDA!, we couldn't have been happier with Jose's seminar "How to Accelerate your Career as a Latino/a/e." Jose presented a seminar that delivered culturally relevant, thoughtful and practical information to help our careers. There is nothing more satisfying than when you walk away from a seminar having collected information that you can actually put in to practice! Our allies who attended were exposed to insights that I personally felt probably gave them a deeper understanding of who their Latino/a colleagues were and what value they bring to their teams and company. I highly recommend Jose's seminar. In addition to the content, Jose was highly engaging, motivating and dynamic. Gracias Jose, we look forward to scheduling the next seminar!

Jose did a seminar on building your personal brand (with a Latin twist!) for our company during Hispanic Heritage Month. We loved how engaging and interactive his presentation was. He ensured it was relevant for all, regardless of background or job title, and many colleagues thanked us afterwards for having Jose present. Pre and post-event, he was very communicative and collaborative. Thank you Jose!

My name is Laura Torres and I am the co-lead for Notion's Latinx ERG Gente. We invited Jose to lead a workshop on Accelerating your Career Growth for Hispanic Heritage Month. Jose has such incredible personal stories to share that really resonated with our attendees! His experience, storytelling, and practicalness created such an engaging space for discussion on career growth. One attendee shared that "Jose brought the intangibles to life". Jose was a joy to partner with as he listened to what we were looking for, the experience that would resonate with the audience, and worked with me on budget. I would recommend Jose's workshops to anyone that is looking to further their career and expand their mindset!

I had the incredible opportunity to cohost Jose Pinero for a session on "Building Your Personal Brand, Impact, and Influence with a Latinx Twist," and it was nothing short of enlightening! The hour flew by as he shared profound insights and actionable strategies that truly resonated with our audience. What stood out the most was the engagement level—over half of the attendees stayed after the event to ask additional questions, eager to dive deeper into the material. It’s clear that Jose sparked a genuine interest and passion among participants. During and after the event, I've received numerous messages from attendees asking for notes and summaries, which speaks volumes about the impact Jose had on them. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. I wholeheartedly recommend Jose Pinero to anyone looking to empower their audience with knowledge and inspiration. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

My name is Aura Barys and I am a Senior Director of Corporate IT at Nasdaq in New York. Jose conducted the coaching in person at our New York office as part of our Hispanic Heritage Month celebratory sessions. Jose was transparent and to the point, on target with each topic. He gave real life examples that engaged the audience and kept the session with energy and participation. I would highly recommend Jose to help others in their careers, his advice is priceless and true to real life experiences.

Hi Jose, Thank you so much for participating in our Latin Heritage Month Kickoff for SOMOS!! No one could have done it better!! You're amazing, we're so happy we were able to work with you. Our SOMOS members only had great things to say like, "Amazing event. Great takeaways and engaging speaker for the entire day" 🎉🎉. Everyone agreed that the "Managing Up" slide was extremely useful and something we will take as we grow in our careers. We were definitely taking notes to improve in our next performance reviews. We really liked when you talked about setting more boundaries and loved how you tied everything at the end to "Lo Mejor De Nosotros". That was a completely epic finale I must say!! We can't wait to hopefully work with you again in the future.

My name is Andy Tovar, and I co-lead Nielsen's Hispanic/Latino business resource group. We invited Jose to speak with our members and Nielsen community as part of Hispanic Heritage Month about personal branding and influence with a Latinx twist. He was very tactful in his delivery, giving relevant feedback on how to position ourselves for career success. He delivered his insights in a very actionable way, and we all left the session empowered. I look forward to a part two for our group. Thank you Jose!

As leader of the Latino Employee Resource Group in Bridgestone, I invited Jose to give his "How to accelerate your career as a Latino/a" conference as part of the Hispanic Heritage Month activities. He is a great storyteller; all of his tips were spot on, and the feedback received from other members of the audience was that they felt "like he was talking directly to me". Even when his conference has a "Latino spin" to it, non-Latinos felt like the advice was applicable to anyone and at different levels of their professional journey. Definitely would continue working with him in the future.

I am a scientist who was looking to improve my resume, interview skills, my ability to set boundaries and ultimately my confidence. In coaching sessions, Jose gave me so many tools to use which I applied to improve my work situation. I was in an interview and I asked one of the questions Jose recommended asking. The interviewer answered it, then stopped and started raving about how great of a question it was. It was almost like it was a plant haha. Also, I ended up getting that job! I really enjoyed working with Jose and I would recommend Jose's coaching to anyone who wants to improve their soft skills and elevate their career.

Jose's incredible coaching helped me be more confident so I could put my best foot forward during job interviews. The mock interview was the perfect prep and helped me synthesize everything I do and present myself in a coherent package for recruiters. I cannot recommend Jose's coaching enough!!

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.

I met José Piñero through NAHJ's Adelante Academy, where he taught a session with practical tips and strategies for public speaking, meetings and more. His session was focused, engaging and actionable. During a follow-up 1:1 he was a good listener and provided valuable feedback and insights I can apply to my work.

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've had the privilege of working with Jose twice now, both at top tech companies, and each time his seminars have been nothing short of inspiring. His presentations are clear, actionable, and tailored to connect with Latin professionals, offering invaluable tips to help them grow and achieve their career goals. As a seasoned professional in his field, Jose uses his expertise to elevate underrepresented communities in the tech industry. I can't recommend him enough!

It was a delight being able to work with Jose. With his skill as a professional coach, he equipped and provided the professional tools, best practices to negotiate terms during the interview process, and empowers leaders that are making the next step in their career. As I launched into the VP role at NBCU, I am forever grateful to Jose for the impact that he has made in my career. He has equipped me as I navigate the waters of an executive at a major film studio, and his expertise, has grounded me and laid a strong foundation as I face the next chapter in my career. Thank you Jose!

I co-lead our Hispanic Business Resource Group for Nielsen and came across Jose’s speaking engagements. We had him host a session about personal branding with a Latinx twist. The session shared valuable information and Jose delivered the content succinctly. He is one of the easiest speakers I’ve worked with, he came to our intro meeting prepared and with all the information we needed, working with him was easy and the content was valuable.

On behalf of TikTok and our SOMOS ERG, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to José for launching our Latin Heritage Month celebrations with his inspiring keynote. His seminar, "Building Your Personal Brand, Impact, and Influence with a Latin Twist," was full of energy from start to finish. José is the mentor we all wish we had at the start of our careers, guiding us through key topics like Managing Up, Increasing Impact & Influence, and Promotions. He didn't just provide insights—he offered actionable steps we can immediately apply to our professional journeys. Thank you again, José! I look forward to collaborating in the future.

My name is Juan, and I am an Account Manager for one of our sales teams at TikTok. Jose is a joy to work with!! From the very beginning, we could tell that he really understood our company and ERG values, and that he was committed to making a positive impact in our diverse community. Jose has a very good understanding of corporate America and the many challenges one has to face to grow in their careers. He lays a very effective groundwork that is applicable to anyone. He focuses on making the most authentic version of yourself shine in the workplace!! He helped me improve my confidence and know that I don't need to be like someone else to be more successful, I just need to let others see what makes me special. It was a truly inspiring conversation that has certainly made me gain a very powerful perspective. I would highly recommend Jose to anyone feeling a little stuck in their careers, you won't regret it.

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. My name is Nohemy Martinez, and I am the Lead of Digital Realty's Employee Resource Group "Digital Voces" Leadership Members. Jose delivered his "How to Accelerate Your Career as a Latino" seminar to Digital Realty's Latino team members and its allies.

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.

I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have crossed paths with Jose. Our connection occurred at a pivotal moment in my career when I yearned for more but lacked the guidance to navigate the path ahead. While career coaching was an unfamiliar concept to me, working with Jose has been nothing short of transformative. The insights he has shared, the validation I've received, and, most importantly, the newfound impact I feel in my role have collectively brought a genuine clarity to my professional trajectory. I wholeheartedly endorse Jose. His guidance has been invaluable, particularly as a Latino professional who has grappled with imposter syndrome throughout my career. Jose is the ideal partner to usher you towards a gentler, more authentic self-view: that I am a profoundly impactful asset in the professional arena. Gratitude abounds, and I eagerly anticipate numerous successes under Jose's coaching and trusted advisement. Un abrazo fuerte, Jose!

I am the Co-Lead of the organization of Latinx employee resource group at NBC Universal called UNIDOS. Jose delivered an amazing workshop for our ERG members. Most of our members are currently going through their performance assessments with their managers. He was very inspirational and encouraged our members to participate. The session was very interactive making it fun and very informative. We will continue to partner with Jose in the future to help in the career growth of our Latinx colleagues.

I've started working with Jose after my promotion to a Director level position at LevelTen Energy. Initially, I wanted to focus on improving my leadership and managerial capabilities because I had a bigger team to manage. The great thing about working with Jose is that he is not only able to focus on your needs, because he listens to you. He is also extremely helpful in making you understand your blinds spots. Jose helped me to understand the power of listening and to communicate, when appropriate, in the most effective way. As a Portuguese working at an American company, he also helped me to reduce the cultural gap. Thank you Jose for helping me grow as a professional and as an individual! Obrigado

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. 

We invited Jose to speak to our ERG for our Latino staff on how to accelerate our careers. The session content was highly relevant and illuminating and Jose was an amazing facilitator, taking the time to listen to our experiences, validating our feelings and encouraging/empowering us to highlight the great work and contributions we make in the workplace. Jose was empathetic, warm, and provided us with tangible tools to apply immediately! I would recommend this 1000 times over to all interested!

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've worked with a lot of coaches throughout my career, and they've all been good in one way or another. However, Jose stands out for me personally because of his profound understanding of the Latino experience in corporate environments. He helped me uncover the unique talents I brought to the table and empowered me to be 100% authentic, even in uncomfortable situations. Jose possesses incredible listening and retention skills, providing direct and applicable advice. He is an exceptional career coach who genuinely cares about the work he is doing, and it clearly shows in every interaction I've had with him.

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.

I'm Paula Gomez, Global Talent Manager at F5. Participating in the F5 Latinx Upskilling program led by Jose was truly transformative. Over 6 months, I refined my career goals, embraced the richness of Latinx cultural assets, and honed my leadership skills. The program's integration of F5 values with 'The ABCs of Latinx Leadership' was eye-opening. It's more than just training; it's a resolute commitment to personal and professional growth that I wholeheartedly recommend. Jose empowered me to gain a deeper understanding of my cultural competencies, elevate my communication skills, and equipped me with effective strategies for overcoming challenges. This journey has been invaluable in unlocking my potential. I urge you not to miss the chance to learn and grow with Jose and experience the profound impact it can have on your career and performance 🚀🌟 .

I am a 25-year veteran in the tech industry. Jose is among the most engaging, thoughtful and insightful leaders and professional coach I have met over the years. He gets right to the core of what's important, and what's holding you back, albeit in a non-threatening and supportive way.

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 worked with Jose while working on a startup at Area 120, Google's in-house incubator. Getting coached by Jose was instrumental in overcoming key people & business challenges I had. What was most magical about working with Jose was how he was able to so deeply understand my perspective and helped me generate robust clarity. The coaching sessions with Jose always ended with tangible takeaways I got to ponder on and action items I was excited to execute on. Moreover, thanks to Jose's wide spectrum of experiences - from a large corporate to a fast growing startups - our discussions felt real, rich, and extremely productive. I can confidently say that I've improved tremendously as a professional because of getting coached by Jose.

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.

I've had a great experience working with Jose as my executive coach. His guidance and support have been really helpful in helping me improve my leadership skills. He provides great feedback and strategies that have helped build my confidence as a leader. I appreciate the experience he has brought in helping me with my career. I would strongly recommend Jose if they were looking to improve their leadership skills.

Jose’s personal branding seminar was the best one-hour investment I’ve made recently. His message was honest, direct, and highly practical. I especially appreciated how easily he addressed difficult career growth questions and shared a framework to enhance the outcomes of those conversations. Thank you, Jose—I look forward to exploring more of your content.

Hi, my name is Marina Conklin and I am a National Account Consultant for United Rentals. I am the co-lead for our employee resource group HOLA United, where we aim to build Hispanic and Latin advancement while fostering a culture of intentional inclusion and diversity. During Hispanic Heritage Month, we hosted an online live seminar conducted by Jose. I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the insightful and inspiring session Jose conducted on how Latinos can elevate their careers. The presentation was not only engaging but also filled with practical advice and real-world examples that resonated deeply with me and many others in attendance. His discussion on overcoming barriers and leveraging our unique cultural strengths to advance in our professional lives was particularly empowering. It was evident that he spoke from both experience and a genuine desire to see others succeed, which made the message all the more impactful. Thank you, Jose, for sharing your knowledge and experiences with us! Your words have certainly inspired me to take proactive steps in my career and to support others in our community do the same.

I work for Suntory Global Spirits, where I am a leader for the company's Hispanic/Latinx employee resource group in addition to my full-time marketing job. This Hispanic Heritage Month, we hosted Jose for a virtual seminar on Leading with your Latino Values. With Jose's guidance, Hispanic/Latinx employees and allies alike examined cultural traits that make our community an asset in the workforce. From there, we learned how we can all embrace and amplify these values to create a stronger workplace and business results. The session was highly engaging and interactive, thought-provoking, and inspiring - I received extremely positive feedback from both latinos and allies in the company. Jose was also very friendly and organized in our pre-event interactions, making things run very smoothly on the day-of. 10/10 would recommend, and we will certainly be looking for opportunities to partner with Jose again. Gracias!

As the Program Chair for Guardian's Hispanic/Latinx ERG LA VIDA!, we couldn't have been happier with Jose's seminar "How to Accelerate your Career as a Latino/a/e." Jose presented a seminar that delivered culturally relevant, thoughtful and practical information to help our careers. There is nothing more satisfying than when you walk away from a seminar having collected information that you can actually put in to practice! Our allies who attended were exposed to insights that I personally felt probably gave them a deeper understanding of who their Latino/a colleagues were and what value they bring to their teams and company. I highly recommend Jose's seminar. In addition to the content, Jose was highly engaging, motivating and dynamic. Gracias Jose, we look forward to scheduling the next seminar!

Jose did a seminar on building your personal brand (with a Latin twist!) for our company during Hispanic Heritage Month. We loved how engaging and interactive his presentation was. He ensured it was relevant for all, regardless of background or job title, and many colleagues thanked us afterwards for having Jose present. Pre and post-event, he was very communicative and collaborative. Thank you Jose!

My name is Laura Torres and I am the co-lead for Notion's Latinx ERG Gente. We invited Jose to lead a workshop on Accelerating your Career Growth for Hispanic Heritage Month. Jose has such incredible personal stories to share that really resonated with our attendees! His experience, storytelling, and practicalness created such an engaging space for discussion on career growth. One attendee shared that "Jose brought the intangibles to life". Jose was a joy to partner with as he listened to what we were looking for, the experience that would resonate with the audience, and worked with me on budget. I would recommend Jose's workshops to anyone that is looking to further their career and expand their mindset!

I had the incredible opportunity to cohost Jose Pinero for a session on "Building Your Personal Brand, Impact, and Influence with a Latinx Twist," and it was nothing short of enlightening! The hour flew by as he shared profound insights and actionable strategies that truly resonated with our audience. What stood out the most was the engagement level—over half of the attendees stayed after the event to ask additional questions, eager to dive deeper into the material. It’s clear that Jose sparked a genuine interest and passion among participants. During and after the event, I've received numerous messages from attendees asking for notes and summaries, which speaks volumes about the impact Jose had on them. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. I wholeheartedly recommend Jose Pinero to anyone looking to empower their audience with knowledge and inspiration. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

My name is Aura Barys and I am a Senior Director of Corporate IT at Nasdaq in New York. Jose conducted the coaching in person at our New York office as part of our Hispanic Heritage Month celebratory sessions. Jose was transparent and to the point, on target with each topic. He gave real life examples that engaged the audience and kept the session with energy and participation. I would highly recommend Jose to help others in their careers, his advice is priceless and true to real life experiences.

Hi Jose, Thank you so much for participating in our Latin Heritage Month Kickoff for SOMOS!! No one could have done it better!! You're amazing, we're so happy we were able to work with you. Our SOMOS members only had great things to say like, "Amazing event. Great takeaways and engaging speaker for the entire day" 🎉🎉. Everyone agreed that the "Managing Up" slide was extremely useful and something we will take as we grow in our careers. We were definitely taking notes to improve in our next performance reviews. We really liked when you talked about setting more boundaries and loved how you tied everything at the end to "Lo Mejor De Nosotros". That was a completely epic finale I must say!! We can't wait to hopefully work with you again in the future.

My name is Andy Tovar, and I co-lead Nielsen's Hispanic/Latino business resource group. We invited Jose to speak with our members and Nielsen community as part of Hispanic Heritage Month about personal branding and influence with a Latinx twist. He was very tactful in his delivery, giving relevant feedback on how to position ourselves for career success. He delivered his insights in a very actionable way, and we all left the session empowered. I look forward to a part two for our group. Thank you Jose!

As leader of the Latino Employee Resource Group in Bridgestone, I invited Jose to give his "How to accelerate your career as a Latino/a" conference as part of the Hispanic Heritage Month activities. He is a great storyteller; all of his tips were spot on, and the feedback received from other members of the audience was that they felt "like he was talking directly to me". Even when his conference has a "Latino spin" to it, non-Latinos felt like the advice was applicable to anyone and at different levels of their professional journey. Definitely would continue working with him in the future.

I am a scientist who was looking to improve my resume, interview skills, my ability to set boundaries and ultimately my confidence. In coaching sessions, Jose gave me so many tools to use which I applied to improve my work situation. I was in an interview and I asked one of the questions Jose recommended asking. The interviewer answered it, then stopped and started raving about how great of a question it was. It was almost like it was a plant haha. Also, I ended up getting that job! I really enjoyed working with Jose and I would recommend Jose's coaching to anyone who wants to improve their soft skills and elevate their career.

Jose's incredible coaching helped me be more confident so I could put my best foot forward during job interviews. The mock interview was the perfect prep and helped me synthesize everything I do and present myself in a coherent package for recruiters. I cannot recommend Jose's coaching enough!!

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.

I met José Piñero through NAHJ's Adelante Academy, where he taught a session with practical tips and strategies for public speaking, meetings and more. His session was focused, engaging and actionable. During a follow-up 1:1 he was a good listener and provided valuable feedback and insights I can apply to my work.

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've had the privilege of working with Jose twice now, both at top tech companies, and each time his seminars have been nothing short of inspiring. His presentations are clear, actionable, and tailored to connect with Latin professionals, offering invaluable tips to help them grow and achieve their career goals. As a seasoned professional in his field, Jose uses his expertise to elevate underrepresented communities in the tech industry. I can't recommend him enough!

It was a delight being able to work with Jose. With his skill as a professional coach, he equipped and provided the professional tools, best practices to negotiate terms during the interview process, and empowers leaders that are making the next step in their career. As I launched into the VP role at NBCU, I am forever grateful to Jose for the impact that he has made in my career. He has equipped me as I navigate the waters of an executive at a major film studio, and his expertise, has grounded me and laid a strong foundation as I face the next chapter in my career. Thank you Jose!

I co-lead our Hispanic Business Resource Group for Nielsen and came across Jose’s speaking engagements. We had him host a session about personal branding with a Latinx twist. The session shared valuable information and Jose delivered the content succinctly. He is one of the easiest speakers I’ve worked with, he came to our intro meeting prepared and with all the information we needed, working with him was easy and the content was valuable.

On behalf of TikTok and our SOMOS ERG, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to José for launching our Latin Heritage Month celebrations with his inspiring keynote. His seminar, "Building Your Personal Brand, Impact, and Influence with a Latin Twist," was full of energy from start to finish. José is the mentor we all wish we had at the start of our careers, guiding us through key topics like Managing Up, Increasing Impact & Influence, and Promotions. He didn't just provide insights—he offered actionable steps we can immediately apply to our professional journeys. Thank you again, José! I look forward to collaborating in the future.

My name is Juan, and I am an Account Manager for one of our sales teams at TikTok. Jose is a joy to work with!! From the very beginning, we could tell that he really understood our company and ERG values, and that he was committed to making a positive impact in our diverse community. Jose has a very good understanding of corporate America and the many challenges one has to face to grow in their careers. He lays a very effective groundwork that is applicable to anyone. He focuses on making the most authentic version of yourself shine in the workplace!! He helped me improve my confidence and know that I don't need to be like someone else to be more successful, I just need to let others see what makes me special. It was a truly inspiring conversation that has certainly made me gain a very powerful perspective. I would highly recommend Jose to anyone feeling a little stuck in their careers, you won't regret it.

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. My name is Nohemy Martinez, and I am the Lead of Digital Realty's Employee Resource Group "Digital Voces" Leadership Members. Jose delivered his "How to Accelerate Your Career as a Latino" seminar to Digital Realty's Latino team members and its allies.

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.

I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have crossed paths with Jose. Our connection occurred at a pivotal moment in my career when I yearned for more but lacked the guidance to navigate the path ahead. While career coaching was an unfamiliar concept to me, working with Jose has been nothing short of transformative. The insights he has shared, the validation I've received, and, most importantly, the newfound impact I feel in my role have collectively brought a genuine clarity to my professional trajectory. I wholeheartedly endorse Jose. His guidance has been invaluable, particularly as a Latino professional who has grappled with imposter syndrome throughout my career. Jose is the ideal partner to usher you towards a gentler, more authentic self-view: that I am a profoundly impactful asset in the professional arena. Gratitude abounds, and I eagerly anticipate numerous successes under Jose's coaching and trusted advisement. Un abrazo fuerte, Jose!

I am the Co-Lead of the organization of Latinx employee resource group at NBC Universal called UNIDOS. Jose delivered an amazing workshop for our ERG members. Most of our members are currently going through their performance assessments with their managers. He was very inspirational and encouraged our members to participate. The session was very interactive making it fun and very informative. We will continue to partner with Jose in the future to help in the career growth of our Latinx colleagues.

I've started working with Jose after my promotion to a Director level position at LevelTen Energy. Initially, I wanted to focus on improving my leadership and managerial capabilities because I had a bigger team to manage. The great thing about working with Jose is that he is not only able to focus on your needs, because he listens to you. He is also extremely helpful in making you understand your blinds spots. Jose helped me to understand the power of listening and to communicate, when appropriate, in the most effective way. As a Portuguese working at an American company, he also helped me to reduce the cultural gap. Thank you Jose for helping me grow as a professional and as an individual! Obrigado

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.
