The Global People Club Sandwich


 

Hey <<First Name>>

I know it's only Friday, but maybe you also had one of those weeks where you just cleaned up your desk, wondered what you had achieved today, and then got home to a stack of dishes, a pile of unfolded clothes, and a crying son?

Did you spend last night driving your daughter to her soccer training, squeezed in a conference call, and forgot that it was your mother’s birthday? Did you then at 11 pm sit down thinking “Why am I not moving on with my life?”

Often we think we are too busy to do the right thing, the education we wanted to start, the pile of books we wanted to read, the weight loss program, and the healthy nutrition we wanted to implement. We keep ourselves too busy to meet a new partner. We play safe and the older we get, the less risk we are willing to take.
Often we spend our time doing the wrong stuff. Sometimes there are good reasons to hang onto a job, a client, or even a marriage. Sometimes hanging in there is part of the deal (“for better or worse…”) but there is also a fine line between going through rough patches and self-destruction.
In the past, I also got stuck in a story that I have been telling myself for the longest time. I have achieved balance in my life through continuous learning and weekly practices. Speaking like a true ZEN master: It’s the practice, not the achievement that makes it important for me. 
After you have been exposed to the pandemic, a war in Europe, and the overall anxiety in the world you lie awake at night thinking about the latest argument with your manager, the constant nagging of your spouse about living “here” and your teenager trying to find their identity as an artist.
You sometimes spiral down into the rabbit hole of worry and your inner Gollum starts telling you all the critical feedback you have received EVER as if you are Arya Stark and had to remember every man who was ever bad in the world. 
If you feel like this (even on the odd occasion) I would like to invite you to the following sanity maintenance practices

1 - Press the Pause Button

You might not know how to do this, but I will teach you. For those of you who are following our programs, you probably understand that maintaining a weekly practice helps you in the process of being more satisfied with your achievements. 
 

2 - Plug in Your Purpose Batteries

For some of you, reconnecting with your purpose sounds too difficult to even get started. Maybe you thought you had defined your purpose clearly, but now you have doubts. Is that really the reason why you are in the world? Is this the area of work and life where you can influence the world the most for the better or are you just in this for the status, the money, and the company car? Is your reason for this international move the next career step in Caracas or is it the housing allowance and the package your company pulled together?

3 - Divorce Work from Your Self-Worth

When I speak to some of you I understand that work plays a very important role in your life, but so do your spouse, your children, parents, siblings, and friends. You are more than a breadwinner and after having been in the corporate world for such a long time and having made it here, don’t you think you deserve to focus more on your important relationships?
Don't you deserve to sip rosé in the Biergarten at Zurichhorn on a Saturday?
Don't you think you could watch an Open-Air movie with your loved ones on a school night?
Don't you dare close your laptop at 6 PM sharp?

4 - Kill Your Inner Corporate Zombie

You do not have to be a corporate zombie any longer. The company pays you to deliver 42 hours of work (in Switzerland). All productivity research shows that our productivity declines after six hours of focused work. Potentially, we need to deconstruct the 42-hour workweek. It was designed for industrial workers, not knowledge workers, let alone our new breed of Global Nomads.
Money has a limited value. When basic needs are met, the rest is a luxury, and no pair of shoes, no holiday, and no luxury car will replace your health, your happiness, or time spent with your ailing elders.

What is it that you truly need?
Have you ever worked out how much money is enough? 

Are you ready to move on? If so, sign up for our Lunch Series to prepare the "HireMeExpress" group coaching program 2023. I look forward to welcoming you to my home in April. 

Have a relaxing weekend ahead,
Angie
 

Back-to-Work Party
Friday, 10 March 2023
From 6 PM


Location (Zurich, in the hood of 8032, will be confirmed to participants only)
 

We will be sponsoring Children First’s “Back-to-Work” Party on Friday, 10 March 23 from 6 PM and would like to give away three seats at this event.

This International Women’s Day event celebrates

  • Female courage, entrepreneurship, and overcoming challenges,

  • Resilience, sisterhood, and helping each other through tough times.

  • International Women’s Day with this year’s theme Embrace Equity.

  • The existence of this amazing educational institution for 15 years.

We would like to welcome internationally mobile women who ended up here in Zurich for whatever reason, have tackled huge challenges, and have blossomed by deciding on a corporate career against all odds of the Swiss job market or by starting a business of their own. As Children First offers early childhood education and childcare from the age of 3 months most of the women they meet are mothers. However, the founder of Children First, Monica Shah is herself a great example and she has been helping many others during the 15 years of her various business ventures. If you are interested in joining, please sign up directly on the event page and mention "Angie Weinberger". The first three readers will be sponsored and I will check in with the organizers in about a week's time to confirm that we are indeed connected. :-)

Here’s the link to the event. 

Kind regards
Angie

My parents were hippies and named me after Angela Davis and when I don’t blowdry my hair I could almost have a frizz like her, but my skin is white and I have a German passport. My last name sounds Jewish and many suitcases in the concentration camp in Auschwitz reminded me years ago that my family could have suffered from the Nazis. However, they were Roman Catholics. Not wine-makers as one might assume, just traders and my other grandfather made shoes. My grandmother was a working woman after the second world war. A mother of many. My parents moved away from home to follow their hippie-dream and help underprivileged children. Guess what? That might have made me the person that I am today. In grade seven I wrote my first short story that was actually published in an anthology. I wrote a play and wanted to become a writer/actress. Because I’m good with human relationships I ended up in Human Resources and became an interculturalists and an Expat Coach for people like Heidi and Govind and their children Anya and Anush who speak Hindi, Swiss-German, and English as native languages.

 

On weekdays, I’m on a mission to bring the Human Touch back into Global Mobility. On Saturdays I tend to my container garden, eat Chicken Tikka Masala with my Kashmiri and on Sundays, I dabble in creative writing as my evil twin sister Vivienne M. Sharma.

 

I work as a Career Coach, Expat Helpline, and would like to become the Yoda of Global Mobility. I started my company with my only real asset, a metallic-blue AUDI A4, a decade ago. Besides sitting in airport lounges and sipping on a Bombay Sapphire and Tonic, I dream of living in a hotel suite. My journey led me to work in Germany, the UK, Australia, India and Switzerland and I’m hoping to travel the world as a DIGITAL NOMAD when I grow up. 

 

You would not believe that I was at Madonna’s first concert in Germany, saw Freddie Mercury on stage, had a crush on Simon LeBon and Morten Harket, and to date cannot forget Paul Young’s voice live. I was also once asked in a club in Cochin if I was a professional (Bollywood dancer).
