So, what do you do when you've adopted all kinds of new-fangled ways to stay in touch as you live a globally-unbound life -- but your loved ones or colleagues haven't? This month we're talking about this disconnect, and how forward-looking, world-flung types like us can maintain our connections across vast geographical (and perceptual and behavioral) divides. Join us tomorrow Friday, May 18 in the Global Niche video chat, with our featured guest -- the multidisciplinary strategy consultant Shefaly Yogendra -- whose life and work gracefully spans continents. She's a stellar example of a mobile progressive.See who else is coming to our 10am PDT chat here (40 RSVPs, at last count): http://www.facebook.com/events/406711899361815See you in the Global Niche video room tomorrow!

Friday's the day -- for our first public gathering of Hybrid Ambassadors. That's our cultural think tank where many Global Niche life strategies are born, and pains are brought up to be solved. You're invited to be part of it. Join us online at 10am PDT (that's GMT-7) to discuss your best practices to living a cross-cultural life with panache. Or, maybe you've got some examples of today's worrying predilection to live in a complete vacuum. As a friend said to me recently, we're ugly Americans in America these days...which is quite the metaproblem of monolithic thinking. We can't wait to hear the kaleidoscopic perspective of Hybrid Ambassadors like you who not only live in multiple worlds, but consider your mix -- perhaps of ancestry or beliefs, of life or circumstance -- an asset rather than a liability. Looking forward to seeing you, Anastasia P.S. Below are instructions to join in.

When it comes to how we present ourselves in the world, for most of us, there's a bit of a disconnect -- OK sometimes there's a huge disconnect -- between how we clothe ourselves and who we know ourselves to be. If you've lived in multiple cultures or feel displaced in your native environment like many people in the Global Niche community, the problem is even more complicated! This week Global Niche invites you to a live, interactive, online video conversation with Dr. Jennifer Baumgartner. She's a clinical psychologist and author of the new book YOU ARE WHAT YOU WEAR. Join us in our Linqto* web room on Friday, March 16th at 10am ***Pacific Time*** [be sure to convert to your local time and be careful to account for Daylight Savings Time in your region] to talk about aligning how you dress with how you want to be perceived in the world.

Here's a Global Niche happening taking place TOMORROW, and there's a special giveaway for one lucky subscriber (maybe you!). We'll explain that during the video chat. (Starting in March we'll be holding live web video conversations like these on the third Friday of each month. See the schedule here.) We often talk about how your global niche is the intersection of all the worlds you belong to. Where you can be most fully yourself. That's exactly what Barbara Cecil, Dorian Baroni and Burcu Yalman have been working with women all over the world to reclaim. Our inherent wholeness sometimes gets forgotten or misplaced in an unexamined life. They call the process Coming Into Your Own, and we've invited these multinational retreat organizers to talk more about reclaiming these missing parts of ourselves.

We want to hear from you -- in your own words -- how we can continue to shape the Global Niche community to meet your needs in 2012. This lightning-fast 5 minute survey will really help us fashion things the way you'll benefit most. Thanks for sharing your Global Niche and creative self enterprise thoughts, we appreciate them -- and we appreciate you!

It's tomorrow! (We know so many great people to talk to, we're planning to do these chats regularly.) When expat coaches Evelyn Simpson and Louise Wiles approached us about their new survey for accompanying partners abroad, we wanted to dig deeper and find out what was behind it. We had questions, like - what motivates someone to work when they don't have to? And what stops you from pursuing a career when you can? In Careers abroad when you're a +1, we'll explore how these obstacles and motivations are relevant to anyone building a Global Niche (not just the accompanying partners of expats on assignment) when we talk with Evelyn (in Belgium) and Louise (in Portugal) on Friday, January 20th at 10am Pacific Standard Time. Convert to your local time and add your voice to this interactive convo. Hope to see you! Until then ...

Big news in the dead of summer (or is it winter? We have Southern Hemisphereans on this list too.) expat+HAREM is now an archive. After two magical years, we've amassed 175 neoculture discussions and 2,800 insightful, funny, poignant comments from globalists, culturati and hybrid lifestylers like you. Can you believe it? Please accept a huge round of thanks: to our generous guest posters, our lively blog participants, our loyal audience. I recognize that the culture and identity issues we've tackled at expat+HAREM are evergreen. So I'm keeping them live and available for you at the site during my transition to GlobalNiche.net By now you probably have a clue what GlobalNiche.net is going to be. Here's more. This hands-on venture is my new life-work initiative to put into practice expat+HAREM theories. I'm calling what we'll be practicing creative self enterprise for the global soul. Global Niche is a practical evolution for expat+HAREM and I hope you feel the next step on this journey holds relevance to the life you lead, too. We've identified ourselves and found resonance with each other. Common ground, ways to talk about our lives and experiences with meaning and precision. Now how do we transform? How do we do whatever we've somehow felt geographically or culturally disadvantaged to fully do? It's time for action. I'll be partnering with creative enterprise consultant Tara Agacayak to explore with you (and other mobile progressives, cultural creatives, indie pros and displaced people of all kinds) exactly how to build a micro-yet-global base of operation -- a global niche. I'll also be a guinea pig and sharing my own global microbrand-building results and revelations along the way [eek!] Since you're already on the expat+HAREM mailing list you're good to go. I hope you'll choose to stick with us for this exciting evolution. Thanks for your time and your community, which I truly cherish. Best, Anastasia P.S.

If you'd like to unsubscribe you can do that right here: Thanks for checking us out! Read this on the web Welcome to July's At home in the body issue +++++ EDITOR'S NOTE Greetings, lovely things. This month we're connecting with our ultimate home. Getting out of our head is a fab way to both calm the inner [com]motion, slow down that ultraprecious commodity *time*, and get out into the world...who knew!? At expat+HAREM, an American erotica artist in Germany Tatiana von Tauber confesses she paints in the nude to get back in touch with her most life-loving senses when expat circumstance (3 kids in a hotel room for a month, anyone?) overwhelms her. If the body is the real and final home as writer Toni Morrison says, a whole troupe of Third Culture Kids find a new sense of belonging when they throw their global souls into this multidisciplinary dance performance. Dancing their way home. Lucky people in Toronto can catch choreographer Alaine Handa's Chameleon at the Fringe Festival this month. And finally, at Psychology Today creativity consultant and yoga proponent Jeffrey Davis illuminates why feeling at home in the body makes us flexible and inventive, focused and calm, vital and connected to our emotions. Moving our bodies makes us all the ways we hope to be alive in the world...helps us process where we've been, who we are, when and why we were lost, where we're going now. And why we love it. +++++ YOUR THOUGHTS So many of us are mobile, or in personal or professional transition. How do you make sense of movement and change? How do you retain the assets you've established? Tell us what question you want to ask a personal branding expert. If I hear from enough of you I'll make a webinar to get you the answers! +++++ Yours in motion, expat+HAREM, the global niche P.S. Check out our graphic Scoop-It page on all-things-global niche.
