[014] Secrets To Thrive In A New Country Or Culture (And Critical Mistakes To Avoid)

Moving to a new country can be overwhelming, lonely, and stressful. What’s the secret to thrive in a new culture? I interviewed Henri Nkuepo, international lawyer and author of “New Immigrant Playbook – Strategies for Success in Your New Country” to find out. Henri gives inspiring examples from his own experience adjusting to a new culture as a professional. He shares how to get the right sources for advice, how to reach out to the right people, and some of the most important skills needed. He also shares his biggest mistakes and what he would have done differently. One important skill that Henri talks about is becoming his best advocate. Assertive communication allows you to advocate for yourself. Assertiveness is the skill of expressing your needs, wants, desires, rights, thoughts, and feelings in an anxious-free and respectful way.
