I love this episode! Every year I ask a group of the most insightful, creative, on the ground, impact-driving social sector experts I know to share their predictions for this coming year. This year, we have a great compilation, covering everything from AI to corporate partnerships, to finance to personal development.Predictons are obviously just that - carefully considered insights into what we think is coming. But these folks are on the ground doing the real work of supporting nonprofits and nonprofit leaders - they've got their pulse on trends - what to pay attention to , what you may have missed, and what you can safely ignore as distractions.I hope you enjoy listening to this episode and get as much out of it as I have in pulling it together!PredictionsNaomi Korb Weiss discusses DEI challenges and nonprofit response.Daniel Francavilla talks about authentic storytelling with AI.Perry Radford explores burnout and sustainable work.Tanya Bhattacharya highlights executive visibility and trust.Heather Nelson shares insights on deeper corporate partnerships.Steven Newland examines economic shifts and fundraising.Tasha Van Vlack emphasizes community-building for connection.Naomi Hattaway covers leadership transitions and planning.Kel Haney focuses on personalized donor engagement.A Few Key TakeawaysThe Need for Strategic Adaptability: Nonprofits must stay agile and proactive in the face of shifting economic conditions, political landscapes, and evolving donor expectations. Leaders need to focus on long-term sustainability rather than short-term fixes.Trust and Transparency Are Non-Negotiable: With declining trust in institutions, nonprofits will need to double down on transparency, authenticity, and consistent engagement with their communities and stakeholders to build credibility and deepen relationships.A Shift Toward More Personalized Engagement: Whether in fundraising, donor stewardship, or community-building, the future lies in meaningful, tailored interactions that foster deeper loyalty and engagement at an individual level.Want to work together?

The conversation also touches on recognizing signs that it might be time to leave a job, and the importance of self-reflection in the decision-making process. For organizations, they emphasize the significance of stay interviews, clear communication, and operationalizing values to foster a positive work environment and mitigate the negative impacts of employee departures.

This week's episode is a recently released conversation I had as a guest on the Leaving Well with Naomi Hattaway podcast. Naomi is a skilled interviewer, and it was a joy to talk to her about my experience of leaving well, including the one regret that I had in the process.  I think Naomi's work has a lot to offer the community we are building around The Proximity Process. I hope this is an opportunity to discover a new show that brings you value. Leaving Well is the art and practice of leaving a job, role, project, or title, with intention and purpose, and when possible … joy. Naomi's podcast brings experiences and lessons learned about necessary endings in the workplace, through conversations on topics such as grief, confidence, leadership, career development, and the Leaving Well Framework.

On this week's episode of Enneagram IRL, we meet with Naomi Hattaway. Naomi is the CEO of 8th & Home, a consulting practice that combines affordable housing and homelessness prevention work, with the power of Leaving Well, a practice for individuals, organizations, and boards in periods of transition. Her practice of leadership and implementation of the Leaving Well concept combines strategic visioning, organizational development, and community care. She delivers a deep commitment to equitable practices, a willingness to have tough conversations, strong project management and facilitation skills, and compassion and generosity to every interaction and facet of her work.After living across the US, her family moved overseas to India where she learned to thrive in the midst of chaos. Following one year in Singapore, they moved back to the US and have traipsed their way through Florida, Virginia, Ohio, and Nebraska, and now back in Florida. Naomi is an 8w7, and her love languages are accountability, tattoos & really good playlists.

Today's episode starts with me reading straight from my journal. I read the "day one" entry from August 8, 2022, when I made the decision to leave my job. What follows are some reflections about whether or not I've stayed true to what I set out to do. The episode ends with a bit about my daily journaling practice and how it continues to bring me so much value.As always, you are invited to join the Proximity Podcast Club, a growing community of people who are supporting one another through their own process.

Sundae returns with fresh energy after a whirlwind summer of moving her family from South Africa to Switzerland. She explains how, similar to computers, humans have operating systems that need occasional upgrading to function optimally. Sundae explores the four steps involved and discusses how to prepare for (and troubleshoot!) common post-transformation “glitches.” The post 297: Legacy by Design with Naomi Hattaway appeared first on Sundae Schneider-Bean, LLC..

Julie and Casey chat with activist and community builder Naomi Hattaway about how to reach across political and conversational divides, housing as a human right, and how to cultivate hope. Along the way, they discuss choosing your battles, “leaky boundaries”, and Wednesdays as a metaphor and a reset. (You'll never look at hump day the same way again.)    TOP TAKEAWAYS: Talking to someone you might disagree with? Get curious about their values. What do they care about? Can you connect through that? Also . . . know when to walk away. An oft-quoted stat: Women have to be asked to run for office 6 or 7 times. Maybe it's because they know that what is asked of candidates is nearly impossible . . . rather than begging women to run for office, what can we do to make the SUPPORT SYSTEM BETTER for the right candidates?  Hope is a discipline . . . so how do we create the conditions to practice that discipline? Self-care (Naomi has a coffeemaker in her bedroom!) and community care (when you can't find the light today, I can carry you . . . and vice versa). Mini-Lesson: Acknowledging our given circumstances (the who, what, when, where, and why of your scene) and starting where you are, not where you wish you were. BONUS: Naomi made us a PLAYLIST!!   Thank you to our Season 3 sponsor, Armoire!

Naomi previously served in executive leadership at Habitat for Humanity of Omaha, and consulted with nonprofits and organizations on inclusive program design, mutual aid and housing solutions.  In addition to recently leading the COVID-19 eviction prevention and rental assistance program, and the 2020-2021 Winter Plan non-congregate shelter efforts in Omaha, Naomi is a licensed Realtor, and recently ran for Omaha City Council in West Omaha. Follow Naomi on Instagram and Twitter, or visit her website.  

Naomi Hattaway is passionate about community building and empowering others to thrive, not just survive, in the places they call home. In this show, we talk about identifying as bi-racial, homeschooling, housing access and poverty, being a teenage mom, living in the third world, and being inspired to serve the community's betterment. Born and raised in a small town in rural Nebraska, Naomi moved with family to Omaha and since then has taken her own family to live in places like India and Singapore. Her life experiences have catalyzed Naomi's passion about community building and empowering others to thrive, not just survive, in the places they call home. She ran recently for City Council in Omaha, with a bid to represent District 6, the central section of West Omaha. Her next venture continues her work in affordable housing, this time on a larger scale, that will impact all of Greater Omaha with development, policy and advocacy, and a strong focus on ending homelessness.

Back at it with part two of our conversation on the FIVE giant factors in everyone's health and welfare (Social Determinants) chat. Amanda discusses the marriage equality heart to heart she had with one of her dear friends, which is literally why we do this podcast. Hopefully, if you don't have someone in your life who will give you these first-hand perspectives, we bring them to your ears. We talk about living with disability, reaching marginalized communities, and the paradox of philanthropy. Philanthropy that is religious-based is shunning to entire communities. Those who shun LGBTQIA+ are missing out on brilliant minds and opportunities because no one is going to apply for jobs where they are openly and actively discriminated against unless they are desperate. Environmental racism is rampant in Omaha particularly in the realm of lead poisoning that continues to plague our neighborhoods and a disproportionate amount of marginalized folks. Here are links to articles on lead pollution and environmental racism: https://northomahahistory.com/2016/04/18/a-history-of-lead-poisoning-in-north-omaha/ https://www.douglascountyhealth.com/27-children/lead/131-your-guide-to-the-omaha-lead-superfund-site https://www.ketv.com/article/lead-plant-poisoned-omahas-soil-epa-concerned-cleanup-efforts-will-hold/29779146 Omaha is Super Charitable BUT It Comes with Purse Strings Attached to People and What THEY Want: https://www.omahachamber.org/wedontcoast/we-live/philanthropic/ https://omahafoundation.org/news/omaha-donors-among-most-generous-in-the-nation/ Philadelphia's Lead and Water Problems: https://www.phillymag.com/citified/2016/02/21/philadelphia-lead-poisoning/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/midwest-misfits/support

Hey Midwest Misfit Listeners! Today Naomi Hattaway who is currently running for Omaha City Council is Co- Hosting with Colleen! Naomi is an all around awesome human and today we are talking with two other special people: Amanda and Kiley Petersmith. Amanda is a seasoned Pediatric Nurse Practitioner at Boystown Pediatrics and Kiley is a nurse currently working on her doctorate and is the Director of Community Engagement at Methodist College, currently leading the way to get invisible homeless populations vaccinated against Covid. She also leads the mobile lead screening and diabetic clinic that serves marginalized communities. Today we are talking about Social Determinants of Health which is an obnoxious name that nobody readily understands its meaning. It is looking at the societal environments and communities that determine the health, wellness, risk of disease and injury based on the environments humans are exposed to and are not based on individual determinants like genetics and behavior of a person. It is looking at the environment at which one works, lives, and plays in and how that factors into the health of people within those environments. Where one is born, raised, works, lives, and plays exposes them to toxins like lead or unsanitary and unsafe conditions outside of themselves. The cost of ignoring these crucial factors is both fiscally enormous and morally corrupt. We need the general public and legislators to understand all the ways in which we can improve the health and well being of our individuals, communities, and society. You can read about Kiley's awesome work vaccinating marginalized communities here: https://www.wowt.com/2021/02/24/methodist-oha-dchd-team-up-to-vaccinate-invisible-populations/ You can support and learn more about Naomi Hattaway here: https://www.naomiforcitycouncil.com/ https://twitter.com/NaomiHattaway?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor https://www.linkedin.com/in/naomihattaway Learn about Amanda Petersmith here: https://www.boystownpediatrics.org/physicians/amanda-petersmith https://www.happylittletreephotography.com/petersmithfamily --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/midwest-misfits/support

What are you doing to actively build up your community? If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s that we really do need each other. In our personal and professional lives, we depend on our community not just to survive, but to thrive.  Today’s guest is Naomi Hattaway, an experienced world traveler and current City Council candidate. Naomi is passionate about community building, diversity, and accessibility in online and personal spaces.  That community-building includes people who don’t always agree with what she stands for. Naomi is a biracial woman in the Midwest who doesn’t even try to conform to societal norms. She has met her fair share of resistance and rejection. But her unconventional education and experience in the international community have taught her to view the world through a unique lens. Referencing Nilofer Merchant, author of The Power of Onlyness, Naomi states, “There’s a spot in this world only you can stand in.” Naomi strives to show up every day and interact with her community with intention and compassion. She’s learned not to be restrained by others’ ideas of how the world works and how she should exist within it. And she’s here today to share some of that hard-earned wisdom with us. How do we bring together people of diverse experiences, beliefs, and political leanings to achieve a common goal? Is it possible to build up our community even in times of social distancing? What does it look like to be true to ourselves while fulfilling the roles and responsibilities demanded by our professional lives? Join me in today’s episode, where we explore the power we have to transform our communities and build a kinder, more accessible, and more equitable world. Listen now. In episode 44 of Small Stage, Big Impact we discuss: [7:15] A simple step you can do today to support the community where you live [8:10] What is means to “leave well” when you experience changes in your life [9:28] How the practice of “leaving well” applies in a professional setting [16:10] Strategies Naomi has used to reach across party lines to bring her community together [20:27] How Naomi has struggled to balance heart and empathy with politics [25:12] Naomi’s method for being authentic while still operating within the boundaries of her professional roles [29:19] How to choose who makes up your inner circle so you are supported in achieving your goals [35:34] Why Naomi is running a “slow campaign” to best honor herself, her team, and her community [40:24] What Naomi would do if she had a magic wand   Resources mentioned by Naomi and Renia in the episode: Learn more about Naomi Hattaway Follow Naomi’s campaign on the campaign’s website, Facebook page, and Instagram Follow Naomi on Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn Purchase The Power of Onlyness: Make Your Wild Ideas Mighty Enough to Dent the World Leave a review on iTunes Follow LoreniaC on Instagram Don’t miss an episode of season 4 of Small Stage, Big Impact

When running a business and as an entrepreneur, I strongly believe that is our responsibility to show up: as an individual for your community in times of crisis when we see social injustice such as racism But it is often not easy to know what to do and how to show up effectively without getting overwhelmed. To discuss this topic, I am bringing you an expert in community leadership, Naomi Hattaway. "Instead of using the word ‘ally’ use the word ‘antagonist’ but the work starts at your kitchen table"Naomi Hattaway is the founder of I Am A Triangle, an online community with thousands of globally located members with one thing in common – they have lived around the world, away from their passport countries. She also owns 8th & Home Real Estate and Relocation, a nationwide referral network, matching families on the move with real estate professionals who chase communities and not commissions. After living in several locations in the United States, her family (three kids, now in college and high school) moved overseas to Delhi, India where she learned to thrive in the midst of chaos. Following a one-year stint in Singapore, they are now back in the United States, and she has traipsed her way from Florida to Virginia to Ohio and is now back in her hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. Naomi is passionate about community building and empowering others to thrive, not just survive, in the places they call home.

Developing a sustainable, successful portable business as an artist brings some unique challenges. While many solopreneurs start with identifying a need and providing a solution, an artist’s business begins with a focus on themselves and their own self-expression. And for many people, art is a luxury, rather than an essential need. Despite these challenges, it is possible to build a successful online and portable business as an artist, and by using the same approaches to marketing as more traditional businesses! "As hard as it is to put myself out there consistently, I keep doing it because it simply brings results. "In this episode, artist Cath Brew explains how she found clarity of purpose and started her business, Drawn to a Story. As an illustrator and author, Cath brings to life what people feel but can't find the words to express. With a focus on Identity, Belonging and Expat Life, her work navigates around redressing the imbalance that 'otherness' creates. Cath is the author of the book,’ Living Elsewhere’, where she illustrates in impactful images and short stories the highs and lows of life abroad. Cath shares how thinking strategically about her purpose as an artist, being consistent in her marketing and listening to her clients has helped her grow her business, and how she has addressed the unique challenges facing artists in business.

Naomi Hattaway knew about being an outsider. As a home-schooled child of a bi-racial couple—before it was socially acceptable—she had to learn how to make connections, form communities and discover the unique gifts and talents she could offer. She founded I Am a Triangle, an online community with thousands of globally located members with one thing in common: they've lived around the world away from their passport countries. There are currently in-person gatherings in over 80 cities around the globe.

Part of our Tandem Nomad community includes military spouses who share the same challenges and ambitious as all other expat partners.  Today we hear about one particular military spouse, Erica McMannes, who shares how she started her portable startup and began generating revenue in under a year. “Give up perfectionism, when you start a business you cannot know everything.” Erica McMannes started out her career path in 2003 working for the American Army in various director and leadership positions. Erica is also a military spouse and after 10 years, 6 moves within the US and abroad, 2 kids, and limited traditional job opportunities, she had to get creative! She found a way to find fulfillment and income that meshed well with the unpredictable military lifestyle. Her entrepreneurial spirit started when she joined a veteran-owned start-up as a consultant and managed to find the flexibility she was looking for.  The sparked her interest in entrepreneurism and in 2016, Erica co-founded her own startup, called MadSkills (https://hiremadskills.com) , a company that sources virtual work opportunities for military spouses to clients ready to outsource. “We discovered that there was a lot of work to do just to bring awareness on the amazing talents of the spouses’ community who help corporations thrive and grow” Highlights from this episode Similarities between expat spouses and military spouses dual career challenges The career challenges and opportunities for military spouses Erica’s “a-ha” moment, how she had this business idea and launched the startup Mad Skills.

Today's interview is with Naomi Hattaway. I met her about 4 years ago when I was just starting UYD and she was just starting I Am A Triangle. Fast forward to today, it is now a thriving community of over 14,000 individuals who are expats, global nomads, internationals and other folks who have lived abroad (or are exploring the idea of it). This growing community reached 14,000 members in less than three years following the viral blog post called I Am A Triangle, and other thoughts on repatriation.  She is a noted speaker and published author on community building, change leadership, repatriation and life abroad and have been recognized as a thought leader in the international and global community. We talk about the following in our interview: Online and Face-To-Face Community Building Why community is important, how to find or create one, and how to get the most from them Why she wants to delete the word “Expat” from our dictionaries and why it’s important to start redefining the way we identify ourselves when living abroad How to lead with Authenticity, Kindness & Grace Resources Mentioned In The Podcast Platform: iamatriangle.mn.co Resource site: http://iamatriangle.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Having moved all over the world (14 times to be exact), she knows what it feels like to assimilate to different cultures and bring those experiences to new places. In this week's podcast, Naomi discusses the difference between belonging and fitting in, the importance of embracing cultures different from your own and why we need to learn from each other other's experiences as opposed to being critical.

After several years abroad, Naomi and her family moved back to the States, where she wasn’t at all prepared for the challenges of repatriation. Learning about the idea that her experience had shaped her into a “triangle” helped her make sense of it all, and it led Naomi to create what is now a thriving community of people living global lives. Tune in as we talk about what it means to be a triangle, differing experiences of being an expat (and why she’d like to remove that word from our vocabulary completely), and so much more.   In This Episode Setting up a location-independent real estate business What it means to be a “triangle” Challenge and privilege of the word “expat” Why a sense of belonging is important (and how to find it) How to handle the challenges of repatriation And so much more   See www.nomadtopia.com/101 for show notes plus other interviews, resources, community, and more.

Naomi Hattaway was one of the first guests on the Tandem Nomads podcast show.  Back then, I Am A Triangle was about 3000 members! In episode 8, Naomi shared her personal experience as an expat spouse and her search for the "meaning of home."  That search led her to write the infamous blog post and kick-started the creation of the group. After living in several locations in the United States, she and her family were sent to Delhi, India for her husband’s job. There, she started blogging and providing support to those moving to India. Naomi and her family then moved to Singapore and left after a year back to the United States. She lives there now where she continues to grow a successful real estate business. The movement I am A Triangle started when one of her blog posts went viral ( click her to read this blog post (http://naomihattaway.com/2013/09/i-am-a-triangle-and-other-thoughts-on-repatriation/) ).  It strongly resonated with people who travel the world and struggle to define their meaning of home. And with those who struggle feeling at home when they move back to their home countries. The article prompted the creation of the I Am A Triangle group, an incredible online group of people who support each other with this struggle. The community of triangles keeps growing every day with hundreds of new members. What was initially a simple Facebook group is now growing into its own amazing online platform (http://www.iamatriangle.com) providing a great range of resources for global nomads.

Today’s Mindful Expat Guest is Sundae Schneider-Bean! Sundae is an intercultural strategist and solution-oriented coach, and – as she says –she’s on a mission to help expats make the most of their lives abroad! Sundae is originally from the United States, from the state of North Dakota. Even before meeting her Swiss husband and launching on a series of international moves with him, Sundae had a thirst for international adventure. In her early 20s, she traveled extensively throughout south-east Asia, where she met her husband in Vietnam – which then led her to move to Switzerland. After a number of years together there, they then moved to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, where they stayed until in 2016 when the political situation and lack of security in the region made it no longer safe to remain – at which point they relocated to South Africa, where they now live with their 2 children. Sundae has her masters in Intercultural Communications and is a Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation. Her experiences of living and working across cultures, being in an intercultural marriage, and raising bicultural TCK children makes her no stranger to the challenges – and opportunities – of expat life. As an intercultural strategies and coach, she works to help other expats navigate these challenges and learn to thrive in their lives abroad and make the most of their experiences. What you’ll hear in this episode: • Debunking some common myths about the cultural adjustment process and how believing these myths can be detrimental to our wellbeing and adjustment as we adapt to a new culture. • How there is no one “right” way to move through the the process of cultural adjustment and some of the factors (personal and contextual) that can impact what this process looks like. • How our expectations can shape our experience — for example, by making us either more or less patient with ourselves as we move through the cultural adaptation process. • How “culture shock” isn’t necessarily a bad thing — and how we can use it as an opportunity to increase our own self-awareness. • The importance of self-acceptance and self-compassion (rather than being harsh and critical toward ourselves) as we adjust to a new culture. Resources mentioned in this episode: • We mentioned the U-Curve and W-Curve Models of cultural adjustment. To learn more about these models, you can check out this blog post or listen back to Episode 5. • Sundae mentioned sleep expert Christine Hanson. To learn more about her and her work, you can check out her website, www.sleeplikeaboss.com. • Sundae mentioned the website Culture Connector, where you can take a free assessment to learn more about your own cultural preferences as well as the cultural preferences of the country in which you’re living. As we discuss, this can be a great way to become aware of some potential differences so that when you run into them in your daily life, you can understand the source of the disconnect. • Sundae recommended two Facebook groups as helpful resources: I Am a Triangle (mentioned back in Episode 10 with the founder of this group, Naomi Hattaway) and Grumpy Expat. • Sundae also recommended two blogs focused on expat issues: Kirsty Rice’s blog, 4 Kids, 20 Suitcases, & a Beagle, and Jerry Jones’ blog The Culture Blend. More about Sundae and how to follow up with her: To learn more about Sundae, you can visit her website, www.sundaebean.com. There you will find information about Sundae’s coaching and consulting services (which she describes in more detail toward the end of the episode) as well a blog with great articles on a number of helpful topics — from couples issues to resiliency to expat vacations! On the website, you’ll also find Sundae’s podcast, Expat Happy Hour, where she covers topics related to expat adjustment and offers practical solutions to help you more effectively navigate the cultural adaptation process.

Today’s Mindful Expat Guest is Naomi Hattaway! Naomi is from the United States (originally from Nebraska). She and her husband have 3 children, and together they have lived in New Delhi, India, Singapore, and they've now repatriated back to the US -- first to Florida, then to Northern Virginia, and now to Columbus, Ohio. Naomi is the founder of 8th & Home, a real estate and relocation company, where she specializes not only in helping families with the practical details of relocating, but also helps them find and build a true sense of community – where they can really thrive – in their new homes. Naomi is also the founder of an amazing movement called, “I am a Triangle” (which was the helpful resource that Amel Derragui shared with us back in episode 6!). In 2013, Naomi wrote a blog post, entitled, “I am a Triangle and Other Tips for Repatriation,” where she wrote about her experience of living abroad and repatriating, using the shape of a triangle as a metaphor for her experience – saying that when we come from a country of squares and then we move to a country of circles, each of these experiences and cultures impacts us so that we eventually become a triangle – someone who may not completely fit in in either country. This article quickly went viral because it resonated with so many people, and Naomi has since build a community of fellow Triangles – people who may not feel as if they truly fit in either their passport countries or their host countries, but who find their sense of community and belonging with fellow Triangles. What you’ll learn in this episode: • About Naomi's journey of living abroad and repatriating back to the US -- and about some of the unique challenges of repatriation. • How the "I am a Triangle" movement came to be and the wonderful benefits of connecting with fellow Triangles. • How focusing on how we can be of service to a new community (rather than focusing on what the community can offer us) might offer a path to belonging in our new homes. • The importance of vulnerability in allowing us to make authentic, meaningful connections. • The importance of finding the right balance of in-person vs. online connections (which may be different for each person!). Resources mentioned in this episode: • We discussed the I Am a Triangle Facebook Group, which grew out of Naomi's original blog post that went viral. As Naomi mentioned, this is a closed Facebook group and there's a bit of an application process, but please don't less this intimidate you -- if you want to be a part of this amazing community, just request to join, and the group admins will add you. • As Naomi also mentioned, she's working on a new platform for the group, that will eventually be at www.iamatriangle.com (coming soon!).  • Naomi also mentioned the TriCONNECT Groups, which are local chapters of global I Am a Triangle community that actually meet up in person. To learn more about these local groups and to find out if there is a TriCONNECT Group in your area, join the main Facebook group and post a question to the group (or check out the "Files" tab for more information). And if there isn't already one in your area, maybe you'd like to volunteer to start one yourself!  • Naomi mentioned concept of Ubuntu and the peace activist Leymah Gbowee, who was the source of the powerful inspirational quote Naomi shared with us -- "I am who I am because of who we all are." • Naomi mentioned the "Buddy Bench" that was developed at her kids' former elementary school (such a cool idea!). • We also mentioned some of Brené Brown's work on the power of vulnerability. To learn more about some of her books, please visit this section of resources. • We also discussed a cartoon video that has been made from one of Brené Brown's speeches about the difference between empathy and sympathy (we made references to jumping into a hole and eating a sandwich with the bear -- to understand what we're talking about, check out the video here). • Naomi also mentioned a resource called Future Me, where you can write emails to your future self. • That made me go off on a tangent about the Seinfeld episode about Night Jerry and Morning Jerry -- and this idea of having compassion for our future selves. (And here's a great article from the Atlantic on this exact subject.) • Naomi mentioned the book, This Is Where You Belong: The Art and Science of Loving the Place You Live, by Melody Warnick, as a wonderful resource. • Finally, Naomi also recommended the Families in Global Transitions (FIGT) organization as a helpful resource -- this is the conference that we both attended in late March and that I mentioned last week (in episode 9).  More about Naomi and how to follow up with her: To learn more about Naomi, you can visit her website at www.naomihattaway.com (which is also where you can find her blog).

It can feel very isolating moving to a new city, let alone a new country- however with a quick search online, you’re likely to find a network of others just like you. Thanks to the foresight of people like Naomi Hattaway and Emmy McCarthy– who had the vision of connecting people online for advice and support. Naomi is the founder of I am a Triangle, which began as a support group for people re-patriating to America, who, perhaps were finding it difficult to fit back into American society, but the group includes people from all over the world adjusting to their various new communities. Emmy is the founder of Amsterdam Mamas which connects a broad range of international families based mostly in Amsterdam. Both facebook groups have a membership of over 12,000 people and both serve an international community. I’m curious about what other virtual communities exist- and how have they impacted your life. http://wp.me/p8obcR-nr This episode features music by Ketsa (copyright) http://ketsamusic.com/ using a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 License

In this Best of Series, I will share with you extracts from the first season's episodes. Each series is dedicated to a specific topic. In this series we focus on topics related to being a Global Nomad, like adapting to new cultures, building a sense of home when moving regularly from a country to another or dealing with some of the challenges that go with it. We start with Alison Trainer, a talented Soprano singer and the founder of the private Facebook Group www.tandemnomads.com/22 (http://www.tandemnomads.com/22) We also have extracts with Clara Wiggins, a global nomad who lived across 5 continents and 11 countries. Among many things, she is the author of a great book that I highly recommend that is called the www.tandemnomads.com/4 (http://www.tandemnomads.com/4) Naomi Hattaway is the founder of www.tandemnomads.com/8 (http://www.tandemnomads.com/8) Last but not least, here is a little glimpse of my conversation with Alison Cavatore, a TCK, global nomad and founder of www.tandemnomads.com/26 (http://www.tandemnomads.com/26)

In episode 2, I brought to you “ 6 tips to leave the home you loved and embrace the new one (https://tandemnomads.com/tn2-how-to-leave-the-home-you-loved/) ”. By home, I meant the household where you lived, the apartment or the house. In this episode, we will focus on the broader definition of “home”. Defining “home” can be a real issue for those who relocate regularly from a country to another, but also for those who come back home after many years of expatriation. This feeling of being totally disconnected from the people in its own home country can actually be quite challenging. For many people, being able to define what “home” means could be a first step of dealing with this challenge. With our guest in this episode, Naomi Hattaway, I would like to share with you one particular and original way to define “home”, to connect with like-minded people or with people who also struggle with the same issues related to looking for a sense of home. Naomi is married and has three kids. After having lived in various states in the United States, she moved with her family to India and then Singapore. Now she is back in the United States, she lives in Loudoun County, Virginia, where she enjoys making an impact. Indeed, her personal experience as a nomad led her to became the founder of 8th and Home, an international real estate agency, and the founder of a fascinating movement called “ I am a Triangle (http://naomihattaway.com/2013/09/i-am-a-triangle-and-other-thoughts-on-repatriation/) ”. “I am a Triangle” started one day with a very innovative article that Naomi wrote on her blog where she shares great insights for those who travel the world and struggle defining home or struggle feeling home when they come back to their countries. The article turned into an incredible online community of people who resonate with being “triangles”. The community of triangles counts today over 3200 people who share together inspiration and meet-ups across the world.
