Episode 33: The Stories of You – Margarita Tarragona

In every conversation, we highlight certain experiences and not others. So we are constantly writing our own stories. * Shine a light on what goes well, what is strong, the more luminous parts of our lives. * If friends lose jobs, help them separate their identities and sense of worth from their job status. * Ask “Which of your strengths would you like to be able to apply in the next job?” * Thicken the plot. People are more than one adjective! * Turn adjectives into nouns. After “I’m so explosive!” ask “What are these explosions like?” The problem becomes a separate entity.

Episode 40: SARI Stories – Senia Maymin

Senia Maymin describes a way to tell stories about yourself in a job interview or customer meeting in a humble, truthful, and powerful way. She calls these SARI stories, and she walks us through one she’d tell about herself. S = Situation. That gives drama before you even start talking about what you did. A = Action. What step did you take to address the situation? R = Result. What happened as a result of your action? How did the situation change? I = Interesting observation. These can be quirky and fun! Often when she’s working with someone, she first asks about Results and then moves back to help them vocalize Situation and Action.

Episode 49: Three Steps to Getting Your Ideal Job – Senia Maymin

Senia walks us through three steps that can help us find our ideal jobs: 1. Fun networking, also called aimless connecting. Do a little daily. Call somebody or text somebody. 2. During interviews, asking good questions, such as “What is your goal over the next 6 months?” “How does this role help you meet your goals?” and “What are the characteristics of people who have done well in this role?” 3. Telling engaging stories. Have 3 SARI stories ready and 2 as backup. Match the stories you tell as closely as possible to the role you’re interviewing for.

Episode 76: Stories with Senia

* Telling a story, think about what’s the journey? What’s your vision? * Liven up the usual Beginning-Middle-End stories with contrast. That adds drama and interest. Example: Senia acting a little girl in a high school play: Art teacher’s advice: Put a big trash can behind her to make her look small by contrast.
