DESCRIPTION
As many businesses increase their global footprints, corporate employees have the chance to work anywhere around the world. While job mobility provides the opportunity to develop new skills, broaden experience and cultivate professional networks, how does one prepare for job mobility and maximise the value of such an opportunity when it arises?

Whether you are looking at progression within or outside your industry, in this talk I share some of the practical lessons I have seen work for myself, as well as for peers, when in comes to the development of my career.
