Dear Hiring Managers & Recruiters,

It’s 2025.
We can send a rover to Mars,
use AI to write code,
and 3D-print a house in 24 hours.

But for some reason…
we still can’t put the salary in job ads.

Here’s the thing:
💡 Job seekers shouldn’t have to guess if a role can cover their bills.
💡 Salary transparency saves everyone time.
💡 It builds trust between employer and candidate before the first interview.

Every week, I hear from professionals who:
→ Spend hours applying to “dream jobs” only to find the pay is far below market.
→ Get ghosted after asking about salary.
→ Feel undervalued because pay is treated like a secret.

Putting the salary in the job posting isn’t just “nice to have.”
It’s respect. It’s equity. It’s the future of hiring.

So let’s normalize it.
Post the salary. Every time.

Please share this post so more companies get the message. Should salary be part of the job description?

I used to take rejection personally.

Every “no” felt like a verdict:
❌ Not smart enough.
❌ Not ready enough.
❌ Not enough.

But here’s what I learned after dozens of rejections —
Rejection isn’t always a dead end.
Sometimes, it’s a redirection.

A signal from the universe that you deserve:
→ More alignment.
→ More purpose.
→ More respect.

That “no” you’re facing today?
It might be the space being cleared for your “yes.”

Because the job that ghosted you…
The client who passed you over…
The opportunity that slipped away…

They weren’t the last chance.
They were the wrong fit.

Now, I help professionals rebuild after rejection,
and step into roles and businesses that finally feel right.

Have you ever been rejected and landed a better opportunity?

Some people will only notice your value once you stop offering it to them.

I’ve been there, sitting at a table where I gave everything I had.
My ideas.
My energy.
My best work.

And still, I felt invisible.

I kept showing up, thinking consistency would earn clarity.
But all it did was teach me this truth:

“Some people don’t understand what you bring to the table until they see you at another table.”

I've learned that early in my career.


Here’s what I learned about knowing when it’s time to move on ⤵️

1️⃣ You’re always proving your worth.
If you have to explain your value over and over, you’re sitting at the wrong table. 
The right one recognizes contribution, not justification.

2️⃣ Your ideas are heard, not implemented.
When others get credit for what you built, it’s time to invest your energy elsewhere.

3️⃣ You’ve stopped growing.
The wrong environment doesn’t challenge you, it contains you.

✅ What I did instead:
→ I built my own table.
→ I surrounded myself with people who celebrated my progress.
→ I stopped asking for a seat, and started creating the space.

That decision changed everything.

Because when you choose respect over comfort, your career — and confidence, start to rise.

💡 Save this as a reminder: You don’t need to fight for a seat when you can build your own table.

I pray you land your dream job offer this week!

Job searching is one of the biggest tests of resilience you’ll ever face.

After facing 100+ rejections and helping hundreds of professionals, I’ve learned patterns that can completely change how you approach the search.
Here’s what I wish more people knew 👇

Because let’s be honest…
Job searching doesn’t just test your skills, it tests your patience, confidence, and sometimes even your hope.

I know how hard it can feel.
The self-doubt.
The ghosting.
The quiet mornings wondering if your next opportunity is even out there.

I’ve been there. And I see you.

Here’s what I’ve learned through experience 👇

1️⃣ You are not your job title. Your skills and value don’t disappear with a role.
2️⃣ Shift rejection into preparation. Update your resume, refine your story, keep moving.
3️⃣ Level up while you wait. A new skill, certification, or book can shift your entire perspective.
4️⃣ Talk to yourself kindly. You’d never call a friend a failure, don’t do it to yourself.
5️⃣ Rejections are redirections. Use them to improve yourself.
6️⃣ Your network is the main plan. Don’t just scroll, connect.

Say hi. Comment. DM. Show up.
Your next opportunity may not come from applying, it may come from a conversation.


Your dream job offer is coming soon. 💫

I’m praying for you, may the right door open soon. 🙏

Years ago, I remember scrolling through LinkedIn and seeing people share their wins:
→ New jobs
→ Speaking gigs
→ Book deals
→ Clients pouring in

I was happy for them, but I asked myself:

“Why not me?”
“Am I falling behind?”
“Will it ever be my turn?”

I wasn’t bitter, I was just tired.
Tired of doing the work and seeing no results.
Tired of clapping with empty hands.

But something shifted when I stopped treating other people’s success as a threat.
I started treating it as evidence.
Proof that it was possible.

So I clapped louder.
Not out of obligation, but out of hope.

Because if it’s happening for them,
It means it can happen for me.
And if I can celebrate others in their moment,
I’ll be more than ready when mine arrives.

Today, I don’t scroll with envy.
I scroll with belief.
I know my turn is coming, and when it does,
I hope you’ll hear the thunder of the people I clapped for…
clapping right back for me. 🙌🏽

→ Who’s someone you’re celebrating today?

If you have been laid off, this is for you.

Your value does not change based on your employment status. Take this time to reinvent yourself.

Helping Leaders Ignite Change Through Inner Growth 🌱

There are truly two ways to live in 2025:

1. Striving endlessly for more. Feeling separate & disconnected.
2. Living fully in the present. Aware of our shared connection.

Most live stuck in the first.

Inevitably leading to stress, burnout, and a sense that something’s missing.

The bigger problem?

This way of living doesn’t just drain your energy, it costs you the deeper joys of life:

- A clear & peaceful mind.
- Meaningful relationships.
- A deep sense of fulfillment.

The truth?

You don’t have to sacrifice well-being for success.

Life doesn’t need to feel like a constant grind.

Your way forward:

Live (and lead) with presence, connection, and intention.

My goal is to help leaders and organizations:

- Embrace the present moment to lead with clarity & connection.
- Build emotional intelligence for stronger relationships.
- Shift focus from individual goals to shared progress.

The future belongs to those who lead with the heart, inspiring collective growth over individual ambition.

I am a husband, father and co-creator.

For 15+ years, I have been building tech companies and supporting leaders to:

- Improve lives
- Extend quality time
- Foster positive change

My deepest purpose in life is to touch and improve as many lives as possible.

To achieve this, I share everything I know and continue to learn over time.

It's up to you to decide how to use this knowledge to help others.

If you ever want to work with me, my door is open.

If not, take what you learn and pay it forward. 

We are all in this together!

Marco Franzoni

I found a “better opportunity.”  

Translation: I found a team that lets me grow as myself.  

After working with dozens of leaders,  
I’ve realized the reason people stay or leave  
is almost never written in the exit survey.  

It’s not just about compensation or career ladders.  
It’s about feeling trusted, included, and alive in the work.  

They stop trying when their energy isn’t noticed.  
They stop caring when they stop feeling connected.  
They stop showing up when purpose turns into pressure.  

If you want to keep your best people: 

- Recognize effort in the moment 
- Let them mentor and lift others 
- Talk vision, not only assignments 
- Give them room to explore and try 
- Show how their work creates impact 
- Share accountability with autonomy 
- Extend trust before demanding proof 
- Make well-being part of the culture 
- Celebrate progress, not just results 
- Protect focus from constant busyness 
- Involve them in the “why,” not just the “what”  

These aren’t perks. They’re principles.  

They require empathy, attention, and the courage to lead with presence.

Your title doesn't make you a success. 

How you treat others does.

Success lives in constant tension:  

- Earn respect… AND keep your humility  
- Strive for goals… AND enjoy the path  
- Drive performance… AND nurture trust  

It’s no surprise lasting success feels rare.  

But great leaders learn how to balance.  

Here’s how they do it: 

1) Achievement vs. Presence
↗️ Ambition drives progress and innovation
↘️ But being “always on” erodes trust and health
✅ Pursue goals while staying grounded in the moment

2) Recognition vs. Generosity
↗️ Celebrating wins builds credibility and influence
↘️ But hoarding credit isolates you from others
✅ Share credit freely, lift others as you rise

3) Confidence vs. Reliability
↗️ Speaking with certainty builds belief in you
↘️ But broken promises erode trust instantly
✅ Show conviction, and always follow through

4) Candor vs. Care
↗️ Teams need honest feedback to grow
↘️ But harsh delivery damages connection
✅ Tell the truth in a way people can hear

5) Strength vs. Encouragement
↗️ Resolve inspires confidence in tough times
↘️ But small words of encouragement build loyalty
✅ Lead steady, but leave people better each day

Lasting success isn’t about choosing sides.

It’s about learning how to balance both at once. 

Which of these trade-offs challenges you most?

Skills might get you hired.  

But it’s character that earns promotions.  

The step up you’re chasing isn’t about another workshop.  

It’s about who you choose to be when the spotlight’s off.  

Here’s what truly lifts leaders above the crowd:  

1) Stay calm in the storm  
↳ Breathe before you speak when tensions rise  

2) Give credit before you take it  
↳ Spotlight the team’s wins before your own  

3) Stay curious, not defensive  
↳ Ask “What can I learn here?” before reacting  

4) Welcome feedback with gratitude  
↳ Thank people for pointing out blind spots  

5) Guard focus like gold  
↳ Say “Let’s revisit later” when priorities drift  

6) Keep promises, even when unseen  
↳ Integrity is consistency when no one’s watching  

7) Celebrate others’ growth  
↳ Their success doesn’t diminish yours  

Expertise opens the door.  
Character is what keeps you in the room.  

Which of these will you practice this week?

Your title doesn't make you a leader.

Your impact on people does.

Managers give instructions.  
But real leaders spark growth in others.  

10 signs of leaders people remember: 

1. Presence
↳ Be fully there. Focus. Don’t multitask.

2. Trust
↳ Let go of control. Empower others to own their work.

3. Listening
↳ Listen to understand. Hear what’s said—and what isn’t.

4. Clarity
↳ Clear the fog. Share purpose with precision.

5. Kindness
↳ Treat people as people, not roles.

6. Curiosity
↳ Learn before leading. Ask before assuming.

7. Patience
↳ Growth needs time. Don’t rush the process.

8. Humility
↳ Own mistakes. Lift others when they win.

9. Consistency
↳ Do what you say. Every time matters.

10. Gratitude
↳ Say thank you. Often. It multiplies effort.

Leadership isn’t about authority.

It’s about lifting others higher than yourself.  

Be the leader your younger self dreamed of.

🙂 Follow Marco Franzoni for weekly insights like this.

Stop trying to read minds.

Start noticing what people reveal in plain sight.

You ever walk out of a conversation and realize
there was a whole other message you missed?

Or sense the tension in a meeting even when everyone’s smiling?

You’re already picking up cues.
You just need a framework to trust what you feel.

Here’s how to turn awareness into understanding👇🏼  

1) Feel the Shift in Yourself  
↳ Your nervous system mirrors others — if you tense up, there’s a reason.

2) Notice Their Breathing  
↳ Shallow breath signals tension, steady breath signals openness.

3) Track Micro-Expressions  
↳ That half-second eye roll or smile is the truth peeking through.

4) Watch How They Pause  
↳ The silence between words tells you what they’re afraid to say.

5) Pay Attention to Deflections  
↳ When people pivot quickly, they’re protecting a wound or a win.

6) Listen to Their Energy, Not Just Their Words  
↳ Tone and rhythm carry more honesty than sentences do.

7) Observe How They Enter and Exit Rooms  
↳ Confidence leaves a calm trail; insecurity leaves noise behind.

8) Notice Their Curiosity  
↳ People who ask “why” want connection; those who avoid it want control.

The more present you are,  
the more people reveal without a word.

Because connection isn’t magic,
it’s awareness practiced in real time.

Which of these signals do you pick up most often?

8 ways to understand people without a word

Many think they’re prepared to lead.  

But most are simply chasing the title.  

I’ve learned this the hard way — leadership is never a job title.  

It’s the way you consistently show up for others:

✅ P – Pause before reacting
✅ R – Respect every voice
✅ E – Empathize with others
✅ S – Serve before self
✅ E – Elevate the team
✅ N – Nurture trust
✅ C – Create clarity
✅ E – Embody purpose

8 signals you are not ready to lead (yet):  

1. You avoid hard conversations  
↳ You protect comfort instead of building clarity  
🗣 Courage grows in tough dialogue  

2. You need constant recognition  
↳ You measure value by applause, not impact  
🌱 Influence grows quietly, long before it’s seen  

3. You multitask while others speak  
↳ You hear words but miss meaning  
👂 Real leaders create full presence  

4. You shy away from feedback  
↳ You fear being wrong more than learning  
📖 Feedback is fuel, not a threat  

5. You want control over collaboration  
↳ You tighten grip instead of widening trust  
🤝 Empowering others multiplies results  

6. You confuse energy with direction  
↳ You stay busy but not purposeful  
🧭 Leadership is focus, not frenzy  

7. You wait for certainty  
↳ You want guarantees before deciding  
⚡ Clarity comes after you commit  

8. You lead for status, not service  
↳ You crave spotlight over responsibility  
🌍 True leadership begins with contribution  

Leadership is not about having authority.  

It’s about choosing daily to serve, guide, and uplift.  

Which of these 8 stood out to you most?

8 Signs You’re Not Ready to Lead (Yet)

Stop calling emotional intelligence a “soft skill.”  

Start training it like a performance skill.

EQ isn’t personality — it’s practice.  
And like any skill, you can measure and strengthen it daily.

12 EQ reps that changed how I lead, parent, and show up:

1. Admitting When You’re Triggered  
↳EQ is naming emotions before they run the show  
↳Practice: Say “I’m noticing I’m tense” instead of defending your point

2. Regulating Stress  
↳EQ is staying grounded under fire  
↳Practice: Slow your breath before you send that message

3. Reading the Room  
↳EQ is sensing what’s unsaid  
↳Practice: Watch body language more than slides in your next meeting

4. Asking Better Questions  
↳EQ is curiosity in action  
↳Practice: Replace “Why did you…” with “What led to that?”

5. Managing Micro-Moments  
↳EQ is how you show up between the big moves  
↳Practice: One kind comment per day to a teammate

6. Owning Your Energy  
↳EQ is knowing what vibe you bring into the room  
↳Practice: Ask yourself “What do I want others to feel right now?”

7. Self-Coaching  
↳EQ is turning awareness into action  
↳Practice: End your day with “What did I learn about myself today?”

8. Holding Accountability with Care  
↳EQ is challenge + compassion  
↳Practice: “I believe in you, and this needs to change.”

9. Pausing Before Reacting  
↳EQ is interrupting the impulse  
↳Practice: Take a sip of water before you answer that tough question

10. Spotting Burnout Early  
↳EQ is noticing exhaustion before collapse  
↳Practice: Ask your team “What’s draining your energy lately?”

11. Redirecting Negativity  
↳EQ is steering energy, not suppressing it  
↳Practice: When someone complains, ask “What outcome do you want?”

12. Celebrating Small Wins  
↳EQ is reinforcing what’s working  
↳Practice: Start each Monday naming 1 thing that’s improving
