🚦 RED LIGHT GREEN LIGHT: We're Back!
Y'all showed up in a BIG way for Back to Basics last weekend pulling in 944 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨. That's insane and awesome all in one! This community definitely knows how to play: show up, give feedback, help each other level up. So we're doing it again... I mean, it's the weekend, y'all expect it at this point. 😉 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆: Drop below what you're working on... one-liner, graphic, CTA, whatever you want eyes on. 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸𝘀 — 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗮 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽! Then go give feedback on a few others using the light system: 🔴 Needs work — vague, doesn't land, missing the hook, etc. 🟡 Getting there — good bones, but something's holding it back 🟢 GREEN LIGHT — this is clear and ready to go ... I would click this! Give feedback before you ask for it. As alwasys, the best rounds are the ones where everyone's playing both sides. 🏆 Shoutout to our last weekend winner! @Jennifer Rassbach! She doesn't even know it yet, but she showed up in a huge way, giving thoughtful feedback to 𝙣𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙮 𝙩𝙬𝙤 𝙙𝙤𝙯𝙚𝙣 different members. And that, my friends, is what being a team player is all about 💥 Every week we have a winner! Jennifer claimed last week and whoever gives the most valuable feedback this round earns a 24-hour pinned post too! Let's see if we can beat 944. Who's getting the green light this weekend?! 🚦

@Jennifer Rassbach thank you, yes there usually are a lot of 'what ifs' when making these transitional life decisions. I will talk to my audience and find more and work with different angles from there. 🙏
I am looking for groups on skool that are focussed on:
Hi everybody, Who can point me in the direction of some new Skoolgroups i can browse through and connect with? I am looking specifically for groups concerning: - living abroad - expat life - re entry in your own country - digital nomads - long term travellers - relocating families - homeschool teaching for families living abroad - volunteering with impact - military families living aborad, wives joining - exchange students I want to grow my communities organically and love engaging in like minded communities, but sometimes communities have non of the above words in their community name, hence i can't find groups. You might be in groups and can use their affiliate link in the comments, so i can have a look at them? All help is appreciated! 🤩

@Carlo Tassone hi there! I actually looked at your group once already, really great you practice the languages in real time 😁. I will send you a private chat when i am leveled up here 👋
I'm trying to understand something, and I'd genuinely love your input.
What's the one thing you secretly wish existed to make AI feel... manageable? Not another course. Not another list of 500 tools. I'm talking about something that would actually help you stop feeling like you're in an endless race to keep up. I haven't found the answer to this yet myself, but i am analysing my daily thoughts about it when i am working. Maybe it's: - AI teachers who explain things in plain English. - One small lesson at a time instead of information overload. - A simple roadmap focused on one practical method. - Mindfulness or mental strategies for dealing with AI overwhelm. - A curated list of patient, down-to-earth AI educators who teach moms, dads, anybody (not just business owners, coaches, or content creators). - Or maybe it's something completely different. My 'Compete with AI' community (about AI overwhelm and feeling you have to compete with AI daily) is still small, so I'll also be asking this question in a few other communities to get a broader picture. 😬 I'm not an AI teacher, and I'm not trying to become one. What I do want is to help bring together or create what people are genuinely missing, whether that's resources, guidance, tools, or something no one has thought to offer yet. So... What have you secretly been wishing existed that would help you feel calmer, more confident, and less overwhelmed by AI? I would love to hear it in the comments 👋

I support people cope with culture shock and reverse culture shock through blogging, sharing stories, recognising the signs and symptoms and resources on how to support a loved one going through the stages of culture shock. Another passion project is about international volunteering. Find out what type of volunteer you are, how it fits your passion and ways to make impact and connect with others. Also valuable for retired experts and neurodiverse volunteers who are preparing to go abroad soon.

@Carlo Tassone no, not at the moment. But i learned to speak Indonesian when i was 30 (volunteering 3 years abroad). It was challenging to learn a new language at a later age but it was so worth it because it really helped me connect and engage with local communities. Now i speak Dutch, English and Indonesian and we raised multilingual children so i am busy with language on a daily basis at the kitchentable. 😄
