You are presumed to have the same bubbly experience as an expat sent on an international assignment to another country.  You thought your experience would be like your adventure on your previous vacation trips. Your first day in the foreign land was laden with much exuberance and effervescence. But you […]

In this interview on the Global TV Talk Show with Edwin Cohen, Angie Weinberger, Founder and Managing Director of Global People Transitions, discussed the core themes of her book, The Global Rockstar Album: 21 Verses to Find Your Tact as an Inclusive Leader. The book focuses on inclusive leadership, psychological safety, and supporting individuals navigating life transitions, particularly in Global Mobility. What Is Inclusive Leadership? Inclusive leadership challenges traditional biases in leadership and management, advocating for equal access to opportunities.
