  94% of Buyers Already Looked You Up on AI. Here's What They Found.

  Aug 5, 202615 minS1

  There is a conversation happening about you before you are ever in the room. Before your next prospect picks up the phone, they have probably already typed your name into ChatGPT. They have looked at what comes up. They have formed an opinion. And they have moved on to the next thing on their list. That is the new first impression. And most people have no idea what it looks like. In this episode, Monique de Maio unpacks what the data is actually telling us about how B2B buyers make decisions in 2026 and what it means for how you show up. She shares the story of a cybersecurity CEO whose consistent thought leadership content became part of how an acquiring company assessed him, not just his pitch deck, but his published point of view. And she gives you seven moves you can make starting this week. The stat that drives this conversation: 94% of B2B buyers are now using generative AI somewhere in their buying process. LinkedIn has gone from the 11th to the 1st most-cited domain for professional AI search queries in a matter of months. And if your content could belong to anyone, an AI system will treat it that way. In this episode: → Why buyers are meeting AI before they meet you, and what AI is saying → How LinkedIn became the #1 source for professional AI citations → The cybersecurity CEO who was acquired, in part, because of what he published → Why vague content has become invisible and specific content gets cited → How your newsletter may now be building an AI signal with your prospects → Seven moves to improve your visibility starting this week Different is better than better.

  The Job Search is a Marketing Exercise: A Career Conversation | Featuring Lisa Rangel

  Jul 10, 202650 minS1

  Your resume should write itself by now. You have the title, the results, and the experience. So why isn't it working? Because a resume that lists what you've done isn't the same as one that sells what you can do next. In this episode of Possibilities with Monique de Maio , Monique sits down with Lisa Rangel, Founder and CEO of Chameleon Resumes, former executive recruiter, and one of the most trusted voices in executive career strategy. Her expertise has been featured in more than 200 media outlets, including CNN, Fortune, Time, CNBC, BBC, Business Insider, Newsweek, Fast Company, and Good Morning America . Lisa's premise is simple: the job search is a marketing exercise, and most senior leaders are the worst marketers of the one product they control themselves. This isn't about resume templates or keyword hacks. It's about repositioning your story, experience, and next move in a rapidly changing job market. In this episode: → Why Lisa left a 13-year recruiting career to launch Chameleon Resumes during the 2009 recession→ The two resume mistakes holding executives back: backward-looking messaging and the "kitchen sink" approach→ Why leading with "30 years of experience" hurts more than it helps→ What today's executive job market actually looks like→ The objective vs. summary debate and when each makes sense→ Why vague positioning causes job seekers to get overlooked→ How employers view long tenure versus frequent career moves→ What AI is really changing in recruiting→ Lisa's best and worst career advice and what she'd tell her 30-year-old self Monique and Lisa have been friends and colleagues for more than a decade, making this conversation candid, insightful, and practical. If you've ever struggled to write a resume that sounds like you, wondered whether AI is helping or hurting your job search, or felt you're underselling yourself, this episode is for you. ABOUT OUR GUEST Lisa Rangel is Founder and CEO of Chameleon Resumes, an executive resume writing and career consulting firm. Since 2009, she has helped executives land leadership roles by combining strategic personal branding with modern recruiting practices. A former executive recruiter, Cornell University graduate, first-generation college student, Presidential Council for Cornell Women member, and Advisory Board member at Lex Duo, Lisa is on a mission to make the world a better place—one fulfilling job change at a time.

  The Hidden Cost of Being Easy to Work With

  Jun 26, 202612 minS1

  She's so easy to work with. It sounds like a compliment. But is it? In this solo episode of Possibilities, Monique asks a question that most high-performing women have never stopped to answer: what does being easy to work with actually cost you? Because behind that phrase there is often a very different story, one about boundaries that were never drawn, yeses that were never really meant, and a quiet pattern of saying yes to other people's priorities while slowly starving your own. The opposite of easy to work with is not difficult. It is discerning. And there is a significant difference. This episode covers: → Why being easy to work with can be code for something you do not want to own → The ROI of saying yes: what you are actually agreeing to when you agree → The rocks and the sand: why women keep filling their jars the wrong way → The hidden driver behind the yes you never should have given → The difference between being easy to work with and being great to work with → How Monique's fixer identity started at age five, and what it cost her → Why no is a full sentence, and what it takes to actually believe that → What discernment, not difficulty, looks like in practice Don't be generic. Stand for something. Own it. If you have been saying yes when you mean no, or if you have been proudly called easy to work with while quietly running on empty, this one is for you.
