This is a YouTube video titled "Coach Michelle gave me my confidence back- Marketing Director" containing a conversation recorded in April 2025. The dialogue features Michelle Perchuk coaching a marketing director who shares their struggles with job loss, lack of motivation, and rebuilding confidence through a coaching program. The content focuses on personal and professional growth during a career transition.
So I will say, mentally, when I started this program, I was more or less defeated. I lost a job that I had put my blood, sweat and tears into, managing a team that I cared deeply about, and it was more or less ripped away. So I had spent, you know, the last few months prior to the coaching program trying to dig myself out of what just happened to me and making sure that I was okay. So once I was there and realized I need to obviously put myself back out there, I didn't know where to start. I've always had a job since I was 16 years old. I've always been promoted or recruited for the next opportunity. So I didn't know how to market myself, I didn't how to network. So I really just. I was doing the bad habit of clicking on the easy apply and going through LinkedIn, and I wasn't excited, I wasn't motivated. I was just going through the motions. And I knew that wasn't going to work and I knew I didn't want to end up where I had ultimately landed in my last role. So I think I came into this with hope, but I wasn't sure where that hope was going to get me. So, yeah, that's, I think, where my head was at at that point. Out of work, but had started an llc. Same thing. Didn't really know what I was doing, how to confidently even talk about that part of, you know, my professional life. So, yeah, I was hopeful but unclear of where I would go.
Got it. And how many months were you already looking and how many months of your own efforts were unsuccessful?
I will say probably four months at that point.
Okay.
And again, it was. My efforts were minimal because I just didn't have it in me to want to look. I think that was my personal biggest deficit, is not having the drive. Drive or the passion to.
You were stuck.
Yes, very stuck.
So when you enrolled with me and when you rolled with MTV coaching, what were some of the things that immediately started to feel better for you?
I think my confidence, first and foremost, just hearing you and hearing the group and the Q and A sessions, going through or talking to things that I was experiencing, that I was feeling, and knowing that everyone goes through this and if you put in the right time, the right effort, you can get out on the other side and ultimately be better, in a better position because of it.
