Assignments & Adventures
Every foreign assignment is a one-of-a-kind adventure. Many adventures, actually. There are challenges and obstacles, from day-to-day living to unknowable outcomes to project pressures. Still, the rewards are astounding. The people I work with, the people I help…..they teach me a lot.
