Members on Global Connection

Sophie, expat partner KPMG

‘We are getting used to Sydney and are looking forward to moving into our new house. Feeling at home here was made a lot easier after having met somebody during your ‘Cycles of Change' workshop. Thanks for the information I was given at the workshop. It is very helpful in day-to-day life.'

Rosa, expat partner Ministry of Foreign Affairs

‘Networking is so important when you're an expat. The more you network before you get to your destination and while your are there - to which Global Connection lends itself excellently - the more you get to know.'

Marie-Ange, expat partner Dexia

‘I have been a Global Connection member for more than one year and I especially appreciate your magazine. I believe that your services help people to expand social links and to integrate themselves in new environments.’

Susan, expat partner Rabobank

‘Although I’m an outgoing and open person, it took me quite a while to figure out the simplest things when I arrived in Sacramento. That’s why I wanted to get involved and assist other Global Connection members by becoming a Global Connection Coordinator. That’s what Global Connection is all about; helping expat partners find a way to settle into a new assignment by networking. We all have our individual skills and experiences. Together we can help and support each other.’

Mandy, expat partner Meyn Food Processing  

‘I am glad that we found the Global Connection network. I had no idea that getting in touch with people would be so fast via Global Connection’s network on the computer. I get the feeling that we already know quite a few people in the neighbourhood to which we are moving.’

Ingrid, expat partner Heineken   

‘I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your magazine over the past few years. It is a beautiful, informative magazine for families that live abroad as expats. I wish to thank you very much for sending the magazine and I wish you good luck continuing and maintaining your good work and ideas.’

Sonja, expat partner Heineken

‘The Global Connection workshop that I was offered to attend, helped me to exchange my fears, hopes, frustrations, ambivalent feelings and experiences with the other participants. It was a great experience.’

Monique, expat partner Rabobank  

‘With a donation from Global Connection, I was able to help Enoque Afonso Chigamane expand his company.’

Heleen, expat partner Friesland Foods   

‘Once again I would like to thank you for the Cycles of Change workshop. It is very informative. I now know that our two-and-a-half year old daughter is currently in the ‘disorientation’ phase and I therefore shouldn’t push her too much!’

Fiona, expat partner BG group

‘First of all, I want to tell you how much I love your new and improved magazine. Good job! It has inspired me to get more involved as a Global Connection Coordinator for Houston.'
