How do babies learn their native language? They are immersed in language from birth. Immersion is the preferred way that most learn a language, because you naturally acquire the language. In my talk, I'll show you immersion simulation techniques that helped me learn German and improve Spanish including: ● What Is Immersion? ● The Benefits of Language Learning Through Immersion ● How Immersion Works & Stages of Language Learning ● My Experience With Immersion ● Bonus - Favorite Language Learning Resources (French, German & Spanish)
You've finally landed a gig in a country you've been dying to live in! Sounds like a dream come true, right? But do you really know what to expect when working in another country? Besides the language, have you considered how the culture plays a role in the work environment and performance expectations? Join me, as I talk about the pitfalls of working in another country and what you need to prepare yourself to put your best foot forward. ● A Global Skillset & Mindset ● Unlearning What You Think You Know About Language & Cultural Differences ● Social Responsibility ● Interactions With The Opposite Sex ● Create A Strategy For Success
This is not your typical job search presentation. In this talk, I take a more holistic approach to global job searching which includes: ● Knowing Who You Are - Your Unique Selling Proposition and overall Value Proposition ● Knowing What You Want - Your Negotiables and Non-Negotiables ● How To Approach The Job Search - Leading With Your USP ● How To Approach Interview - Mastering The Mindset ● The Job Offer - Points For Negotiation ● Bonus - What To Do After You Get The Job
