The Expat Woman

There is always a first time.... On International Women's Day last year, I had the honor of being the keynote speaker at the Polish Professional Women Silicon Valley I have spoken at numerous events but this was my first time as a keynote speaker. Thank you Monika Evje, PMP, CSPO for recommending me. Not only was this such an uplifting experience speaking to this amazing community on "unlocking and showcasing your potential to step into your power" but the event was beautifully executed and it led to so many fantastic new connections including Joanna Lorincz, Magda Jaworowicz, PhD, PMP, Paula Sieron-Shanley, Izabela Jastrzebowska MA, JD, Izabela Stepniewski, Marlena Guderska, Gosia Herudzinska, MBA ?? to name a few. I also won a fabulous gift basket :) I have since partnered with the organization to host an event, some of their community members have joined The Expat Woman Membership, and also had an event sponsored and support for our graphics and promotion by community members. It was an event that keeps giving and my network and community is richer because of all the connections and collaborations. They are hosting their IWD event this year again- International Women's Day. Next Chapter: Growth on March 15th in Palo Alto. The event includes networking, cool raffle prizes and a panel discussion with Audrey Rose Majerczak, Michal Majerczak and Katie Fenner, CFA Link to get tickets in the comments. When was the last time you attended an in-person event and how did you network? ---- I'm Nyna Caputi, Founder and CEO of The Expat Woman, supporting dynamic women living abroad with cultivating community, collaborations and opportunities and also a LinkedIn Coach and Trainer Nyna Caputi

What’s the #1 key to thriving abroad? Hint: It’s not just about where you live or what you do, but who you connect with! Your network, your tribe, your community Do you agree? At today’s The Expat Woman Membership Meetup, we focused on exactly that—networking and building meaningful connections with our members who could attend the event. It's always inspiring to bring our members together from across the globe and time zones to - exchange ideas, ask for or give support, share their goals, their wins, what they are working on, at these monthly meetups. "So many great connections and engaging conversations!!! Love our calls, these always give me more and more positive energy :)" - Bianka Olszewska " I love getting back to work after one of those calls - I'm super energized!" - Estefania Barsante, PCC ?"It was great exchanging ideas with all you lovely ladies!" - Julie M. Marx "I very much enjoyed connecting with all you ladies today. It was the first monthly event I attended, but it will definitely not be the last! I found it inspiring, collaborative, welcoming, and informative." - Samantha Frearson-Tubito "It was great to be with all of you. I always learn something useful!" - Michelle Natalya Moore There have been so many powerful connections and collaborations made through our membership networking events on Zoom and inside the membership hub. And the camaraderie and friendships that stem from these meetups and inside our membership hub, across borders, cultures and time zones is so beautiful to witness. Next week on March 12th to celebrate International Women's Day we are inviting our larger expat woman community and friends to attend a free virtual networking event. I can't wait. Link to register in comments. And here are some tips to network and nurture connections abroad from our members who attended the meetup today "Be kind, generous, and curious. Instead of focusing on "What can I get?" shift your mindset to "What can I learn and contribute?" Opportunities follow genuine connections! This goes for networking events, coffee chats, and even sending DMs." - Estefania Barsante, PCC My tip for building connections: be authentic, be kind, be truthful. " - Samantha Frearson-Tubito Do you have a tip to share? Let me know in the comments P.S. The doors to The Expat Woman Membership are now open.

What is your superpower? We all have unique strengths that shape how we show up in the world, how we create impact, and how we connect with others. And when we move abroad, discovering, embracing, and sharing these strengths can be transformative, helping us navigate new environments, build meaningful connections, and create a lasting impact. At The Expat Woman Membership, we believe in celebrating these individual gifts—and every month, our members come together for a collaboration project to share their insights and expertise. This month’s theme in our membership is Power, Purpose & Potential—a reflection on what makes each of us uniquely powerful and how we use that power to create change. From forging meaningful connections to mastering technology, from problem-solving to empowering others, our members are using their skills in incredible ways in their lives abroad. Here’s what they had to say about their superpowers.
