The programme was hosted and presented by Anne Parker and Diane Lemieux, authors of the “The Mobile Life”.
During this 50-minute show they discuss why moving to live in a new country can feel so hard, and what you can concretely do to overcome the challenge of adapting to live in a new place.
The book is used by secondary schools and professional business schools to prepare young people for international careers. It is also used by multinational firms to help their employees gain the skills required to resettle abroad. This two-part presentation will use some of the tools and insights from their book.
