Stressed out about the mere idea of getting a job in another language? Having no clue or where to start? Will I be good enough? Will I understand them, and will they understand me? All these questions and many more tend to swirl in our mind. 

My recount of the way I went about it - first on a defense (in this part 1 episode), and later how I played offense (part 2 - next episode) will give you a bit of an insight of how it can be done, and how you do not need to repeat all the mistakes, if you can learn from mine.

Personal story of how I transformed my shame into a victory. The path to success and victories is rarely straight-forward. Mine was super-windy and I realized I was in my own way a ton, not knowing I did. Look for synergies in life, don't settle for partial solutions. Play more offense, not just defense. 

Leave me a comment of your own ugly duckling story! I would love to hear from you - [email protected]

Your identity goes through transition as well. You come from a place of being somebody, meaning something to someone, having a place in your society, to a place, where you start out as nobody. Nobody knows you, of you and the things that seemed so ordinary and non-important, vie for your attention now. What do you need to know about your identity as you transition? Listen on to get your food for thought!
