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.

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.

Tom McIlwain
AI Engineer, Siemens

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.

Antonio Morales
Senior Manager, Agile Delivery - America's @Comcast Technology Solutions
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.
Frederico Carita
Global Director, Developer Engagement at LevelTen Energy
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
Limari Colón
Head of Content Strategy at Money Group LLC

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!

Sheryl Gonzalez

I am the chair of the Organization of Latinos employee resource group at Eli Lilly. Jose has been a wonderful partner.

Brandon Vaughan
Head of Finance - Instagram

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!

Yecenia Cardenas
Financial Specialist - New York Life Insurance

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!

Fernando Torres
Director of Information Technology - Inner City Law Center

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.

He is a Latino helping other Latinos. I appreciate everything he does for our community.

Jose delivered an incredible keynote at the Walmart Hispanic Heritage Month event.

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. 

Lorena Bonilla
Talent Development Specialist - Environmental Defense Fund
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!

Jason Hinojosa

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.
Alberto Melgoza
Head of Tech Innovation at Magid; Former Google Leader

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!

Dianelba Cabrera
Business Improvement Specialist - Air Products

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.

When it comes to the law of the few, I am “the connector”
Our company brought Jose in as a keynote speaker for our Whirlpool Hispanic and Latino Development Day. He was a dynamic and motivating speaker who engaged our audience completely. The material he presented was unique and quite relevant to our Employee Resource Group. Attendee quotes: “Nothing has been so relevant to my career and my challenges as a Hispanic woman in the workplace. I have very specific actionable bullet points that I will implement in my career immediately” “I came to this session because I manage 3 Hispanic and Latinos on my team. The day’s sessions and Jose’s presentation brought the insight I needed to optimize my team’s talents..” I recommend Jose to any corporation with a diverse workforce looking to empower their employees to excel.

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 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.
