 about meIt’s been a funny old month. Twice I have been up for awards and both came as a complete surprise. Although it is an honour to receive such accolade, being recognised for my work has never been in my game plan. At its start I was honoured, along with Robin Pascoe, to receive an award at [...] booksIt’s been a busy few weeks. Not only has my client, Simone Costa Eriksson’s book Moving Abroad been released but Natalie Tollenaere’s book The Art of Possibilities/L’art des Possibles has been published – in TWO languages. This is a first for me, to publish two versions at the same time. And it was a joy [...] books
Nothing can beat the moment you hold your first book in your hand. Yesterday, my client, Simone Costa-Eriksson, shared that moment with me, when she opened her first box of her first book: Moving Abroad: the mission of detective Mike. A children’s book for 4-9 year old mobile kids. “So many doubts have crossed [...] expatriate stuffEek! I guess that’s me. I’m always keen to promote surveys conducted by people I know. I met Diane Endo two years ago at the Families in Global Transition conference in Houston www.figt.org and will meet her again next month when she runs a workshop on this issue. She specialises in transition issues encountered by the [...] about meI can hardly believe the journey I’ve had since March’s Inspirer. Physically, I’ve been to Houston to the Families in Global Transition conference for the fifth time and then on to the Virgin Islands to take part in a girls’ sailing trip with a bunch of people I had never met before. So, I guess [...] about meDon’t miss the best expat conference in the world at Families in Global Transition. On from 5-7 March, you will see me there, giving a pre-conference workshop on Writing Life Story. As part of the program committee I know just who’s going to be on the program. Don’t miss some great keynotes and workshops. Today [...] expatriate stuffI have. The call for papers, at this massively valuable expat conference (I’ve been 5 times) closes at the end of August. They want new blood, new research and something different to add to their usual mix of experts, old hands and old favourites (that’s me, folks). I’ve put in my bid to talk about starting [...] expatriate stuffI have just returned from the Families in Global Transition conference in Houston (my 4th) and met up with old friends and new. As Barbara Schaetti, of Transition Dynamics says, ‘it is a reunion of strangers’. Don’t you feel like that sometimes? Anyway, Reiko Keehn is one of the new kids on the global transition block [...] expatriate stuffI’m so excited. On Monday I go to Families in Global Transition in Houston. This is my fourth trip to the conference and the conference’s 10th anniversary. It is also 10 years since my first expat conference, when in 1998, I went to Paris for Women on the Move. It was there that I met Robin [...] |
