Hi Everyone! Sensational to have you with us. This month we talk to: Australia's Zoë Yujnovich, currently the President and CEO of Canada's largest iron ore producer; and Peruvian-American Silvia Reed, the repatriate entrepreneur behind the Bellingham Explorer business.
Thanks for our new articles go to: Jacky Stock, for Family Dispute Resolution, When You Separate Or Divorce Abroad; Jo Parfitt, for her insights from the WIN Conference 2011 in Rome; and David Kuenzi, for What American Investors Need To Know About The FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) – an important new law affecting expats.
Recently repatriated like me? Then this month's Expat Confession, Reverse Culture Shock, could be for you. Speaking of which, if you have not yet done so we invite you to download a sample from our new motivational book, Expat Women: Confessions – 50 Answers to Your Real-Life Questions about Living Abroad. Here's what Ruth E. Van Reken, co-author of Third Culture Kids: Growing Up Among Worlds, thought about our book: "What a great book! For the first time, a real-life manual that will reassure every expat woman that she is not alone in her unspoken feelings and questions. I loved it!"
Finally, stay tuned for our 'Best of 2011' newsletter later this month. Thank you very much Everyone – and enjoy your December! |
