S2: EP21: How to Market Yourself

On today’s show, I have the honour to talk with Jette Stubbs, who
is a Career and Business Coach, and Host of Happy Career Formula
Podcast with Jette Stubbs.


I’ve had some powerful conversations, but this conversation
really shifted my mindset and perception on many levels.


Now that things are opening up and new ways of working are being
implemented, approaching your career has to be looked at through
a different set of lens.


Born and raised in the Bahamas, Jette went to university in
Canada. After graduating and tuition fees to pay, she had 90 days
to find a job or leave the country with zero connections and no
family, in the country as an international student. She realised
she had lots of skills, but no idea how to market herself. She
went from 0% response rate to over 100 job applications to a 70%
response rate to 10 job applications. By investing in herself and
asking herself the right questions she came up with a strategy
that shifted everything. Then, she started helping others.


While she was working, Jette experienced common and uncommon
obstacles: discrimination at work, living in a country without
any family, mum stabbed in a robbery (and lived), dad diagnosed
with dementia when she was 25, and had to move countries to take
care of him. Entering a new chapter in her life she realised she
didn't want just any job, she wanted to build a way to make money
that aligns with who she is and more importantly, her situation.


She now runs a successful career and business coaching business
helping clients and businesses all over the world.


Jette shares powerful tools that you can implement NOW to help
you along your career and business journey. Young and old!
