Appearing on the Adventure Calls podcast with @jes

Appearing on the Adventure Calls podcast with @jessicavdrucker recently was SO. MUCH. FUN!⁠
⁠
In episode 24, we talked about "How to Achieve True Success Abroad" through stories, laughs, and tips.⁠
⁠
As Jessica says, "Some of what Jamie’s work forces us to do, and we discuss this at length on the show today is something that… if you do it…. will result in a much deeper, more meaningful and successful experience abroad.⁠
⁠
What’s that one thing, you ask? Is it learning the language? No, although that’s incredibly important.⁠
⁠
Is it saving enough money, finding a job first, or getting an apartment? Or a visa? Nope, it’s none of those, and I can tell that these are the things that make everyone’s heads SPIN when you start to get real about your move.⁠
⁠
In reality, all of those things are important, but none of them help in the same way as what we discuss in this interview."⁠
⁠
If you haven't listened in, check out this episode (and all of her others!) via the link in bio.⁠
⁠
Then let everyone know what YOU think is critical to achieving true success abroad in the comments below. 👇⁠

One of the reasons that we love coaching is because it creates a sense of accountability, not only between the coach and client but also between the client and themselves.⁠

What is one promise that YOU made to YOURSELF this year?⁠

Nowadays, a myriad of contractors, gig workers and third-party specialists are expected to liaise – often internationally – all in the name of diversity of thought. ⁠
⁠
Many unsuccessful collaborations are blamed on a failure to investigate cultural compatibility upfront, but we can’t determine cultural compatibility on paper. ⁠
⁠
Cultural Mixology founder @jamiegelbtuch and colleague Frank Garten explored their thoughts on outsourcing in a global economy in the article "Outsourcing: Leap of Doubt?" for The HR Director Magazine.⁠

Taiwan is a 35,883 sq km (13,855 sq mi) island that was once occupied by the Spanish, Dutch, and Japanese. Today, it has a population of 23 million people. They speak Taiwanese, Mandarin Chinese, Hakka, and aboriginal dialects from 13 tribes. Taiwan is the birthplace of bubble tea, the place where half the Barbies in the world were made between 1963-1987, and the home of Taipei 101, one of the tallest buildings in the world!⁠
⁠
In the link in bio, we look at what the relationship (or divide) is between the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Taiwan. ⁠
⁠
The “Taiwan issue” is complex. As outsiders our role is not necessarily to take sides, (dis)agree, or (dis)like. Rather, we can seek to understand the roots of the issues and where our friends and colleagues on both sides may be coming from. 🤝⁠
