I made a mistake and I liked it.
🖼Framing can change our perspective.🔀
🏊‍♂️It’s like getting the right equipment for swimming. You suddenly see clearer and go faster. Mistakes will continue happening. Practicing self-compassion, we can learn to love what we get out of them.

When it gets cold and dark outside, the light shines through stunning and bright.

✨Don’t forget to chase that light!

I can make magic.

A mindset shift, some reading, and putting pen to paper to find solutions is my go to potion to make it happen.

Many of us tend to find excuses to minimize our accomplishments in the spirit of humbleness. Humbleness comes from a place of wanting to be authentic. Being authentic means owning all of our facets, our flaws, and also our grandiosity.

Every person in any organization can become a transformational leader and increase the trust, creativity, productivity, and growth of the individuals they interact with.

What are you doing to amplify the impact of others?

[Xavi Martínez Salcedo @futurexavi]

Rest, draw, scribble, journal, read, exercise, play games…Be inspired by the resources, the process, the people and the learning itself. The best muse that we can find lives within ourselves!

[Xavi Martínez Salcedo @futurexavi]

Our roots ground us and allow us to grow. We become wiser when we can adjust to what we learn and honor what we know. When we do it right, we enrich our experiences and the ones from the people around us.

[Xavi Martínez Salcedo @futurexavi]

Humility is a superpower. We show it best when we engage others in an exchange. Making everyone feel that they’re not just an audience. They’ve been invited to the main stage to perform.

Let’s dance!

[Xavi Martínez Salcedo @futurexavi]

We pride ourselves when solving complex problems. What about the simple ones? They often produce more immediate value. We strengthen relationships as we go. Leave your grandiose plan at the door. Think big, size small and deliver more!

[Xavi Martínez Salcedo @futurexavi]

When demand outpaces what we have to offer, taking a step back and reviewing our possible choices, we break the cycle of overwhelm. Then, we can find new paths to move forward.

You are the one and only.

🌌There are more synaptic connections in each human brain than there are stars in 5.000 Milky Ways. The endless variations make each one of us unique.

One size fits one.

You can spend your time being productive or wishing you were productive. Starting might feel like getting on a tightrope. Let go of the guilt for not daring before, get equipped, and take small steps.

(Closing thread) It feels like magic when talent meets opportunity. The pieces of the puzzle come together. There’s a lot of work that goes behind the scenes to do it well. Are you ready to play your part? What other interviewing tips and pitfalls have you encountered?

[Xavi Martínez Salcedo @futurexavi]

Is your company still hiring? More than ever in this dynamic labor market, we should prepare to perform at the highest standard when we are asked to interview future colleagues. For ourselves, for the team we represent, and for every candidate we interact with. (Opening thread)

7) The conversation is a two way street. Be aware of air time, follow up for clarifications, and redirect politely. Give the space and time to be asked. Answer questions so that candidates get the information they are seeking to uncover.
