How to Choose the Right International Career Move [6/10/2026] (Recording)

If you're considering a move abroad, a degree in another country, or a pivot into a more international career, the hardest part is often not ambition: it's choosing well. A lot of smart professionals get stuck between several “good” options: stay where you are and keep building, go abroad for a master's, switch markets, accept a less obvious opportunity that may open bigger doors later, or wait for a clearer path. This webinar is designed to help you think through those decisions more strategically. In this session, we'll look at how to evaluate an international move in a way that goes beyond excitement, fear, or generic expat advice. We’ll cover how to weigh career upside against cost, visa realities, employability, timing, and quality of life, and how to identify which option actually fits your long-term goals. In this webinar, you'll learn: - how to evaluate whether an international move is strategically worth it - when a degree abroad makes sense and when it probably doesn’t - how to compare countries, cities, and career markets more realistically - what people often underestimate about visas, employability, and timing - how to choose between a safer path and a more ambitious one - how to make a move that is not just exciting, but coherent By the end of the session, you’ll leave with: - a clearer framework for evaluating your next international career step - better questions to ask before committing time, money, or energy - a more realistic understanding of what makes a move viable - more clarity on whether your best next step is to relocate, study, stay put, or reposition first This webinar is for professionals who are: - considering relocating for work - debating whether to pursue a master’s or MBA abroad - trying to break into a new international market - weighing multiple career paths across countries - looking for a more strategic way to plan a global career move Whether you're early in the process or already deciding between specific options, this session will help you think more clearly and move forward with a stronger strategy.

The Mental Habits of High Performers [6/30/2026] (Recording)

Your thoughts, interpretations, and mental patterns have a direct impact on how you perform at work. Many high-performing professionals experience patterns like overthinking, perfectionism, fear of failure, self-doubt, or harsh self-criticism, often without realizing how much these patterns influence decision-making, confidence, communication, and performance. In this session, we’ll explore how the mind works, how thoughts shape performance, and practical tools to build more intentional and supportive mental habits in high-pressure professional environments. We’ll cover: - How thoughts influence emotions, behaviors, and performance outcomes - Common mental patterns experienced by high performers - Why the mind is wired to detect risk, pressure, and potential failure - A practical framework for questioning and reframing unhelpful thoughts - How awareness creates more intentional responses under pressure - Practical mindset shifts and habits that support stronger mental performance over time You’ll leave with practical tools to better manage your internal dialogue, improve resilience and decision-making, and approach your work with greater clarity, confidence, and intentionality. This session is designed for professionals who want to strengthen their mindset, improve performance, and build a healthier relationship with pressure, growth, and high expectations.

Want to work abroad? Unlocking international opportunities

After this session, you'll know how to evaluate which countries and visa pathways are realistically accessible based on your current background, and how to position yourself competitively for international roles. We'll cover how to identify employers who actively sponsor foreign candidates, what hiring timelines look like across different markets, and how to adapt your application materials for non-U.S. audiences. Attending live means you can bring your specific situation, whether that's a particular country you're targeting or a visa status question, and get a direct answer rather than a general one. The coach works with internationally mobile professionals regularly and will share the patterns that separate candidates who successfully land abroad from those who stay stuck in the research phase.

Get Into IESE Business School — Admissions Briefing [9/11/2026] (Recording)

In this session, I’ll share my perspective as an IESE MBA graduate and Alumni Admissions Interviewer, with four years of experience interviewing candidates and continued connections across the IESE community. I’ll give you a candid view of the application and interview process, what to expect in each stage, and how to position your profile effectively. We’ll also go beyond the application itself: life at IESE, the case method, study groups, student and professional clubs, international opportunities, case competitions, career services, and the experience of living in Barcelona. Whether you are applying in Round 1, Round 2, or a later round, this session is designed to help you understand IESE from the perspective of someone who has actually lived the MBA experience and continues to be closely involved with the school. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what IESE is looking for, how to approach your application, and how to make the most of the process. The interview perspective is particularly relevant because IESE's current alumni guidance emphasizes assessing a candidate's pre-MBA journey, career trajectory, motivation for an MBA, IESE fit, career goals, and depth of knowledge about the school.
