Jo genuinely encourages our internal “Meryl Streep’ to rethink what is important to us, what drives us and where we would really love to be. She combines her advice, strategies and personal anecdotes with hands-on exercises to encourage us to both dream big and to commit to an ongoing action plan for improving our lives and filling them with passion.

Since Jill and I started developing ExpatWomen.com in March 2006, hundreds of people have written to us and told us how they needed to reinvent their lives, careers and identities when they moved overseas. I praise Jo's wisdom in referring to these crossroads in our lives as a unique opportunity to find out where our true passions lie, rather than dwelling on the who/what/where we used to be.
