Are you ready to capitalize on opportunities created by changes in the global marketplace?
Having 20 years experience in career, organizational and business development in 40+ countries, I can tell you that the world of work is going through some dramatic changes right now. Companies and organizations worldwide recognize they must expand outside their borders if they want to survive, but must do so with less resources. International assignments are being redefined to minimize costs while meeting staffing needs overseas. A complex and dynamic global economic climate means things change quickly and organizations must be able to adapt and respond accordingly.
Despite widespread unemployment, there are incredible skill shortages and an unmet demand for talent worldwide. This is leaving companies unable to fill positions necessary to drive growth outside their borders and capitalize on opportunities in new and emerging markets. Organizations are trying numerous strategies to attract and retain their talent while developing their global competencies. And yet we have high jobless rates and reports showing that 30+% of expat professionals and executives are actively looking for new jobs while abroad and a third of them leave their company within a year of returning home.
Why is there a disconnect between the supply of and demand for talent? One of the reasons is because career and talent management strategies effective even a few years ago are not working in today's global employment climate.
Living and working abroad while supporting those who do (or aspire to), I am seeing all of these changes first hand. Given my experience working across many sectors, industries, economies and countries - profit and non-profit, developed and developing worlds - I can also tell you that there are no one-size-fits all solutions. Without an in-depth understanding of what you offer and the ability to customize your approach to advancing your career or business to the changing needs in your target market, sector, culture and organizations, your chances of finding work or clients and succeed abroad are greatly reduced.
I've developed my solutions to help current and aspiring expats and organizations embrace opportunities and overcome challenges that come with working abroad in today's climate. These include finding jobs in new countries or industries, advancing international careers, starting portable businesses, building strong online reputations and global networks, as well as discovering how to grow as a leader while working overseas. I help my clients build their personal brand to attract opportunities worldwide in this complex and dynamic global marketplace and optimize their choices so they can be successful by being their best self.
