Message from Andrea
Hello Everyone! Sensational to have you with us. This month we talk to Laura Stanbridge, a very accomplished American consultant in Marbella, Spain; Imports Oriental founder Jill Coyle - the People's Choice Entrepreneur of the Year at the Beijing Women in Business Leadership Awards this year; and Ruth Kuguru, Lisa Blunt Rochester and Alejandra Guzmán - whose new coffee table book about 34 expat women reinventing their lives abroad is a must-read.
Thanks for our new articles go to: Lois Freeke, for Personal Branding: An Expat's Secret Weapon In The War For Talent; Maria Foley, for her article Expat Blogging: What's In It For Me?; and our Expat Women Girlfriend, for her response to the confession An Affair Upon Repatriation. I have also included an article entitled Six Ways To Improve The Success Of Your Website, which I wrote after attending the recent Search Engine Strategies conference in Hong Kong. For those of you with your own blog or website, I hope you find it useful.
Finally, we are excited to welcome our new Bronze Sponsor: US Global Mail. US Global Mail has been serving expats for the last 15 years. They offer mail forwarding, packaging and fulfillment services to individuals and corporates. Especially attractive is their ability to give you a US mailing address, for all of those times when you want to shop online from companies who will only send to a US address!
Thanks for supporting us and the companies that support us. Enjoy the rest of your October!
