Speaking Engagements
International schools and organizations are central locations for expat families. We believe it is important for the staff members as well as students and their parents to be informed about the challenges and benefits of relocation and expat life.
Kate has vast experience speaking at different events, schools, and organizations. Each talk is tailored to fit the specific needs of the audience. We have been regularly interviewed for our knowledge on psychological aspects of relocation with kids, including the BBC and The Financial Times.
