Companies are becoming more aware of their environmental impact. They are actively taking steps to decrease this negative environmental presence. The Greener Phoenix Movement is working with local businesses in phoenix to help them on this “green journey”. I think the information in your blog is very beneficial to the early growth of my company. If you have any advice or tips for a new Eco-friendly company that is not only trying to provide more jobs, but also creating a better environment, I would greatly appreciate it.

Comment on The Trouble With Americans Abroad by Karen Beaman

Great synopsis, Rusty, of the issues with Americans working abroad.

The comment about Risk-Taking is also a big one. Research has shown that successful international workers are not only flexible and accommodating, but are also extroverted and risk-takers. You have to be open and willing to approach and embrace the new culture and oftentimes that can be frightening and/or intimidating.

Other research has also shown that advanced cultural or language training has little effect on the success of an international assignment. Personality traits like flexibility, risk-taking, and extroversion, as well as corporate and familial support, are much more highly correlated with successful international engagements. It appears that people who are motivated and accommodating and who have sufficient professional and personal support networks are much better positioned to make their assignments successful. But then I guess that’s true of most things in life, isn’t it?

Bravo to My Global Career for providing a forum and a network for international workers to obtain some of that much needed support. Allé! Weiter! Vamos!
