Writing about the Expat Experience

My experience living in a foreign culture for three years resulted in self-examination, a change of career and in-depth research about being an expat. Many expat assignments fail because the spouse never adapts to her new home. I’ve written several articles on this topic and designed a few exercises to help new expat spouses adjust.

• Thriving as an Expat Spouse published in The Expatriate Observer Fall 2009
• Three articles for IAMEXPAT in May, June and July 2010
  • Success Begins Before You Leave
  • Success Depends on You
  • Six Steps to Success as an Expat Spouse
• Managing Expat Communications – A Balancing Act an article for Expat Arrivals
