Keep Your Hopes Alive 🌟 One year ago today, I took a bold step into the unknown as I joined Elevate Cote D'Ivoire, a nonprofit that is doing something truly revolutionary, creating wealth through sustainable employment and education for talented Ivorians and Africans. I am proud to say I was privileged to be the first Nigerian in Nigeria to be recruited into this incredible company after completing an intensive three-month training program with the best trainers I could ever imagine. This was at a time when I was experiencing my toughest moments 😔 The transformation was unbelievable! Before the training, I thought I was operating at 20% capacity, but by the end, I soared to 99% and I’m not even exaggerating. 😄 I was equipped with skills, confidence, and a mindset that elevated me not only in my career but also in how I viewed myself. At Elevate Cote D'Ivoire, I discovered something beautiful: a mission that goes beyond simply providing jobs. They are empowering individuals, like myself, with sustainable futures, creating ripple effects in families and communities. This journey has been nothing short of amazing. As I celebrate my one-year with Elevate Côte d'Ivoire, I can’t wait to share more insights, milestones, and stories from my incredible experience. Stay tuned, there’s so much to come! 🎉 Let this be a reminder, wherever you are, keep your hopes alive! 🚀 #OneYearAnniversary #ElevateCoteDIvoire #KeepGrowing #SustainableImpact #VirtualAssistantLife #Empowerment

📍NURTURE: Strengthening the NGO Sector and Career Opportunities in the Western Balkans 🌐 From the 20th to 24th of May, NGO workers from three different Western Balkans countries –Bosnia and Hercegovina, Montenegro, and Albania – had the opportunity to meet in Podgorica and successfully participate in an international training for the Erasmus+ project “NURTURE.” The NURTURE project aims to empower young people to find their career path, especially those with fewer opportunities, and to promote the NGO sector as an employer. The training served as an opportunity for partners to meet each other, present the work of their organizations, and further exchange leading practices in the NGO sector. Over the course of these five days, representatives from each country had the opportunity to: ✅ Understand the unemployment situation across the Western Balkans; ✅ Examine employment trends in various industries; ✅ Discuss effective mentorship qualities by sharing personal experiences; ✅ Develop an action plan for different project phases; ✅ Prepare a list of next steps to implement the project; The training was a success, with all the partners gaining a deeper understanding of the project structure and the challenges young people in the Western Balkans face in finding full-time employment. After returning to their respective countries, the partners are now fully prepared to implement the project activities and create significant positive societal changes. What’s next for the NURTURE project❓ Stay tuned to find out as we start this journey of empowering minds!

Part of starting a new year is reflecting on what I need to learn next. Intercultural intelligence is an ongoing journey when, like me, you work with people from all over the world. Last year I did a deep dive into German/NZ cross-cultural insights in a fascinating workshop facilitated by Monique Surges and Erin Daly from the German-New Zealand Chamber of Commerce Inc. (GNZCC). I gained so much insight into how Germans see Kiwis and the way we operate in Aotearoa. In particular, I have new respect for how much preparation and planning our German clients are likely to have put in to understanding and making allowances for us in the many ways that our cultures differ. I'm keen to explore other cultures in depth in 2024 - does my network have recommendations of similar workshops perhaps run by other Chambers of Commerce or national organisations? Shireen Chua. PS: I highly recommend the value packed 1/2 day session on Cross-Cultural Insights for Business Success Between Germany and NZ. Do you have dates for this year yet Celine Kern? #relocation #expatsupportservicesNZ #
