Eat, Pray, Love and Go Global

For women worldwide who read the book, “Eat, Pray, Love” by American author Elizabeth Gilbert and see the movie starring Julia Roberts (pictured), how might you take a similar journey to Gilbert’s but turn the global experience into a successful business at the same time?

Snippet:

Could the real Elizabeth Gilbert have survived her divorce without leaving New York?  Maybe.  I mean, probably.  I think it’s safe to assume she would have gone on breathing, like the rest of us.  But would she have become who she is today?  Doubtful.  After all, the whole point of Gilbert’s global journey was to find herself – to define herself in a way that had nothing to do with her career or her past loves.

Do’s and Taboos Around the World for Women in Business has been around for a number of years. The co-author, Roger E. Axtell, with more than 30 years of experience in international trade, has written several books with the same theme of Do’s and Taboos (e.g., Around the World and of International Trade — the first one was published around 1985). But this book, in particular, may be interest to you if you want to seriously learn the rules of the world for conducting business as a businesswoman.

From the publisher:

This invaluable resource features tips on everything from traveling safely and wardrobe to helpful advice on balancing an international career with family life. Draws on the experiences of more than 100 men and women who have succeeded in international business and addresses a wide range of do’s and taboos faced by women working or living abroad: from body language to health concerns to dating and sex. Offers country-by-country listing of the rules for proper dress, speech, table manners, etc., and resources listing the best schools, courses, and language training, advice on finding mentors, and more.

Gifts For Globetrotters That Keep On Giving

If you looking for special gifts this year that “give back,” take a look at some of the suggestions Carol Pucci, Seattle Times Newspaper staff columnist makes in her latest column.

“Giving back: Holiday gift ideas for travelers”

Here’s a sneak preview of a few:

• Help someone interested in world travel connect with a sweet-potato seller in Tanzania or a butcher in Nicaragua through Kiva.org. This is the San Francisco nonprofit that uses the Internet to link small lenders with entrepreneurs in 187 countries, including the United States.

•  Gifts made by women in Nepal are for sale at Global Daughter (www.globaldaughter.com), an online fair-trade boutique started by Seattleites Erin Miller and Erika Mosebach.

•  Eugene, Ore.-based Friendship with Cambodia plans an 11-day trip in January that will weave sightseeing at the Angkor Wat temples with humanitarian work such as taking children from families with AIDS on a field trip. Details at www.friendshipwithcambodia.org.

And one that I track via a wonderful newsletter is Global Girlfriend.  Any other ideas and suggestions?

Take Time Out to Recharge, Reflect and Rejuvenate

One of the things we tend to stress about is that we never have enough time to do all the things we want to do in life or with our business.  But to stay fresh and relevant, I wholeheartedly recommend a time-out from business (oftimes referred to as a “vacation”) once in while.  I haven’t taken one in a long time (other than weekends and even those are limited) so you can imagine how I fantasized about this blog post entitled:

Take a Second Honeymoom in Italy

Dianne Hales does a magnificent job detailing the romance that Italy offers and, as I see it, it doesn’t have to be a second honeymoon to appreciate Italy’s passion.  It could be your get-away from business — alone, with a friend, partner or husband — to recharge, reflect and rejuvenate yourself!
