🌎 What pitfalls to avoid to best prepare anyone for a successful new experience abroad?
👉 Change the focus!

👉 Indeed, don’t emphasize on preparing people for “changes”, for cross cultural differences, culture shocks, cultural intelligence, cross cultural competences, cross cultural knowledge and more…the list we come across in the field is way too long! and changing…

⚠️This could be more worrying, pressuring than expected for anyone who can’t really relate to any of these unknown situations anyway!

Instead, change the focus and⤵️
👉 Prepare people to open up to the realm of possibilities !
👉 Prepare people to be able to receive knowledge!
👉 Prepare people to develop a know how!

💡There are no more barriers, frameworks, fixed lines on what one is going to experience, observe, see, have to do, when being abroad.
And this can’t be predicted or anticipated.
This will depend on so many volatile context related elements!

💡Let the knowledge occur while experiencing situations, challenges and making sure it is understood, capitalized by having set up the adequat supportive system and for all members involved!

💡The key to success will lie in the ability to learn constantly during the expat and create a useful knowledge 👉 a practical intelligence 🌎
