In today's rapidly shifting business landscape, leading with purpose has become paramount in inspiring teams to create solutions that solve meaningful issues. Money and hard skills are not the driver anymore. People want to belong and make an impact. In fact, a 2016 study from Deloitte found that 63% of millennials reported being motivated by the desire to have “meaning and purpose in their work,” whereas a report by the IBM Institute for Business Value concludes that 66% of employees would consider leaving their current company for one that more strongly reflects their personal values and provides a better work-life integration. Project success is not the same as team success. I learned this the hard way when my credentials and title failed to motivate others and myself. I supported my teams to hit goals year after year, achieving important milestones and optimizing engineering costs constantly. But something was missing. My teams seemed disconnected, and our impact beyond code was foggy. I was leading to make an impact in the team and company. I didn't feel fulfilled. I didn't know my purpose as a leader. And I couldn't inspire, or build long-term trust. We were building solutions reactively. It was a zero-sum game! Back in 2016, I had a revelation while introspecting about a professional setback: I was focusing too much on how to execute with excellence and too little to inspire people to become change agents. But first, I had to inspire myself by discovering my inner WHY. Discovering my purpose changed my entire career; the way I lead people, and how I impact my business partners. It allowed me to get promoted from Engineering Manager to a Director level role in two years. My inner circle was stronger than ever, and getting buy-in to drive innovation was not a pain anymore—even during challenging times.

The tech market is more demanding than ever. And you need proven strategies to master all steps of the hiring process.&nbsp; But the thing is, facing different interview stages can be daunting—each requiring a different strategy to ensure success. And how you pitch your expertise, motivations, and needs can make or break your chances.&nbsp; You often feel the pressure is so high that you: ⁃	Get anxious pre-interview and lose focus⁃	Make the interview one-sided⁃	Speak too much, deliver too little⁃	Struggle to recover from difficult questions⁃	Parrot Google guidelines by default⁃	Overuse tech jargon The outcome?&nbsp;You miss out on your dream opportunities.&nbsp; In the last 18 months alone, I have coached over 15 professionals, reviewed countless CVs, conducted 100+ interviews, and hired 20+ software engineers at all levels at Zendesk.&nbsp; Drawing from my extensive background as a hiring manager, and successful job seeker, I have compiled my expertise in this 3-day course to revolutionize your approach to tech interviews in 2024.&nbsp; ---------"I always get nervous in interviews, but Raphael's tips on staying calm really worked.

I introduce you to the S.T.R.I.V.E Framework. In 45 days, I've applied to 20 job applications in several roles. I used the old-fashioned approach in ten of them—you know, close your eyes, send the CV, and hope for the best. And guess what?? I got a cold rejection email in all. I jumped into 3 of the remaining processes without any preparation. I progressed in the process but ended up failing. But I used the S.T.R.I.V.E. Framework in the remaining seven. I prepared for each step strategically. I found my physical and emotional balance and controlled the situation. I guided the interviews and created a huge human connection with my interviewers, broadening my impact. → And I got four six-digit offers at the end. ---------"Raphael's approach really helped me express my thoughts more clearly during interviews.
