Welcome to the Great Women in Compliance podcast with Hemma Lomax and Lisa Fine, sponsored by Corporate Compliance Insights. Have you considered being an Expat and what it’s like to return after being abroad? This #GWIC episode explores what you need to know on both legs of the journey and the rich personal and professional growth that comes from immersing yourself in another culture and country.
Our expat guests, Joy Hayes, who has just moved to Geneva, Switzerland, and Gitanjali Sakhuja, who has worked in seven different countries and is now back in the U.S., share their journey, tips, and practical advice. Their insights range from when you decide to work in another country to when you return home – and some great experiences (and challenges). Ellen Hunt leads this roundtable discussion with our guests, who share their personal experiences and professional insights on becoming an expat and repat, including balancing expectations, the importance of language proficiency, and the challenges of tax and visa regulations. They also delve into the emotional aspects of adjusting to life abroad and the reentry process, offering practical tips and anecdotes.
Thanks, as always, to our sponsor, Corporate Compliance Insights, and our wonderful #GWIC community. You can join the Great Women in Compliance community on LinkedIn here.
