“We believe that in the 21st century business is about people and relationships. To be successful we need a good network, especially when living abroad. We therefore have decided to create the International School of Life Member Club. This will run every Thursday giving you access to exclusive sessions and opportunities, as well as the ability to collaborate and network with its members. The Club will be a place where people will share a common purpose to help each other to grow”.
Angelina Piechowska & Bonny Martin Co-founders of The International School of Life
The ISL Member Club is an online international meeting platform dedicated to those (men and women) living abroad and who want to make money doing something they love. It is about networking from the comfort of your own home.
The ISL Member Club is not a platform for coaching or lectures where experts tell you how to manage your life. It is about encouraging its members to talk about themselves and what they do whilst also listening to others.

#20 Interview with Karina Lagarrigue - Clinical psychologist helping expatriated, cross-cultural and frequent travelling couples and familie
samedi 14 mai 2022 • Duration 39:42
Karina has moved around the world since she was only 15 days old. Hypersensitive and hyperempathetic from birth, passionate about communication and interculturality, Karina dedicates her time to studying and accompanying expatriation processes, transitions to international motherhood and fatherhood, and to understanding the interpersonal adaptation processes that occur between couples in all these contexts.
Karina answered a few questions for us and gave us some great suggestions:
What is unique for you in the experience of being an expat?
If you could turn back the time, would you take the same decisions?
Do you think that certain people have a personality or predisposition to be more able to leave their native country and move abroad than others? To easily find themselves again somewhere else?
Which advice would you give to busy expat working mums, who may have lost the support of their family network once they moved abroad to help them build a new life?
What are the different phases of settling abroad? Are there any?
How can we support our kids during our ‘expat’ journey?

#9 Visualisation, how it works and how to do it!
mercredi 17 février 2021 • Duration 18:42
According to the Cambridge Dictionary, visualization is “the act of visualizing something or someone” or “forming a picture of it in your mind”. It is authentic but not real, it exists in your mind but not yet in your reality.
This is the great beginning. Now you must write down all the ideas that come to your mind as you may forget about them. This is the only way your ideas will survive.
What I realised whilst working with clients is that the images from our imagination must be very precise. With a lot of details, we can create and design something clear. Tali Sharot, a New-York University teacher published a study about Nature suggesting that visualization with a lot of details bring specific emotions and by envisioning them we feel more joy.
I conducted my first Dream Map workshop six years ago and since I realised that there are a few steps to follow in a good visualization process:
1.Clarification: Having a clear image of the future!
2.Chatting: say it loudly!
3.Choose your actions.
4.Change your mindset: allow yourself to achieve it!
5.Check it out!

As soon as one of the monkeys climbed to get the fruits, it was doused with cold water. The monkey came back down screaming. It made no more attempts to reach the bunch of bananas. Another monkey climbed the pole, cold water was poured on again, more screaming and no more attempts either. The same goes for the third and fourth monkey...

#6 - Interview with Janice Scholl - Podcast Host, Guest Speaker, & Workshop Facilitator
mardi 19 janvier 2021 • Duration 31:33
About Janice:
I’m on a mission to help mothers make more informed and strategic decisions about money, career, and business, so they can focus on what matters most. It’s only by both understanding our relationship with money and improving our money management skills that can we release money’s control over our life and family. I teach women how to use money as a tool to access the things they want, rather than the ultimate goal.
Money may run the world, but I think YOU should run your life!
I am passionate about helping women bring their vision to fruition and guiding professionals in paving their own path to success. Drawing on more than 15 years of experience domestically and internationally in business strategy, banking and finance, and business coaching, I uniquely apply business and financial principles to family life and motherhood to craft a plan designed to maximize success and fulfillment.
In addition to offering insight and guidance through interviews with a variety of experts on The Money, Career, & Motherhood Podcast and in virtual events, I offer online workshops on the following topics:
During my meeting with Janice, I asked her the following:
What was the reason that you decided to move abroad?
What was the greatest challenged for you to build your life in Asia?
What was the best and worse experience of living abroad?
How to find the strength to build your life all over again?
How to find your ‘peers’, friends? How to build a connection?
How to overcome your loneliness and language barrier?
How to take the best you can from the experience of living abroad?
