Coaching
When you're in service to others, I’m in service to you. I can offer you a personalised 1-2-1 or team coaching program tailored to you and your situation.
There are so many things about moving into a management or leadership role that, on paper, are simple when, in reality, are really freaking hard.
Whether you’re a seasoned designer, a new manager, or an executive leading an organisation, working with someone to help get you unstuck is invaluable.
From moving into management to leading as the organizational executive, transitions can be lonely and isolating. When you don’t have a lot of clarity of where to go or which direction to point yourself in, I will work with you on developing your relationship skills beyond the product. I will be an active listener that has had many of the responsibilities you do.
Together, we will enhance your resiliency by looking beyond design. I will support you when you feel overwhelmed by the new factors of your role. Together, we will build you up to do the hard parts of leadership with more confidence and clarity.
If you are interested, please contact me at jose@facilistation.com so we can schedule a discovery call with me to find out if you and me are the right fit and how I can help you to achieve your goals.
By the way, if you think coaching is expensive, you should see the cost of a life and work that you don't love... sometimes one good conversation can change your life and your career.
What others say about my coaching
“José was my mentor and coach during a critical time in my career and life, and his insights and assistance helped me clarify my goals, priorities and road ahead. I was extremely impressed by his ability to untangle complex situations and make me understand more about my strenghs and weaknesses. I would recommend José to anyone needing career advice or coaching. The sessions we had really made a huge difference for me as a person and a professional.”
“I met Jose Manuel at the Founders Institute program where he was collaborating as a mentor, and after attending his inspiring talk we started discussing and sharing experiences.
I have gotten great advice from him regarding my entrepreneurial affairs, where Jose Manuel has helped me in defining the right focus and scope for the MVP, and possible future strategies. We have also had meetings where we discussed management techniques and how to deal with different situations, where Jose Manuel presented his illustrations that make the theory easy to be understood and remembered.
His way of communicating and passion as well as his positivity make him a great communicator and coach that would transmit his values, knowledge and attitude to the ones that share some time with him.”

What others say about my speaking
“We were lucky enough at AIESEC to have Jose hold both a workshop in LinkedIn as well as a lecture on genuine and effective networking. I can say with my hand on my heart that both of these lectures have been incredibly valuable to the management and members of our organisation. With a burning and genuine commitment, Jose has really changed our perception of what LinkedIn is and how it can best be used, as well as how one should think about building one's own network. Jose inspires, activates and creates a good dialogue with the audience. On behalf of the management, we give our warmest recommendations, 6 stars! Thanks again, and good luck in the future.”
“Jose gave an inspiring talk about career development in the FiftyFifty management program we participate in. He connected well with the audience and gave concrete and practical tips that inspired the participants to immediately work on their competence profiles and career aspirations. Jose is a firework of energy! I can recommend him for similar posts!”
“José came to our small start-up and held a very inspiring workshop on LinkedIn, communication and profiling. This was very useful and we have adopted several of his tips afterwards. Jose has a unique ability to link psychology, networking and career development. Highly recommend his workshop if you want to take the next step in your career.”
