This award-winning book is a definitive guide for women looking to build international careers and experience life abroad. In Moving Without Shaking, Yelena Mackay answers many questions that new and experienced expats alike ask at different times of their journeys and offers practical, no-nonsense advice on how to thrive abroad. This book will help you navigate your life overseas, adjust to local cultures, set priorities from learning languages to working through new job markets, keep in touch with your friends and family and maintain a positive attitude. You can keep wondering what it is going to be like or learn from experiences of women who have taken the leap to study, work, or volunteer abroad, set your own goals, build a plan and try it out. Editorial Reviews: “Mackay Nails It: Move up by moving abroad.” “Mackay's savvy guide on 'moving up by moving abroad' is packed with inspiring stories and tips. It reads as though a knowledgeable friend is digging deep to give you her very best advice and Mackay doesn't disappoint. My favorite aspect of this useful book is the breadth of topics discussed -- everything from relationships (and moving's effect on them), to cultural adaptation, to getting up the gumption and grit to make a big leap abroad is addressed. I love Mackay's attention to challenging the status quo by having a healthy fear of settling. This book can help any person inhale a deep breath, feel assured, and take that exciting risk they've been wanting to pursue!” Selena Rezvani, Women’s Leadership Author, Speaker and Consultant, Author of “Pushback” “Woman to woman: advice on expat life” “An international business executive couldn't find any books tailored to globetrotters like her - so she wrote her own” Elizabeth Roberts, The Telegraph Expat “...And I of course love the idea of moving without shaking! That’s what this toolbox is for...” H.E.Rybol, The Displaced Nation Columnist, Author of “Culture Shock: A Practical Guide and Culture Shock Toolbox”. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
