How many times in your day-to-day life in China have you wondered (or muttered), “Why would someone DO that???” As we learn to navigate our new existence in China, the sentiment is often negative—we can’t help but filter the insanity happening around us through our own rosy glasses. But what would happen if we had a concrete tool that could help us take the right-wrong judgment call OUT of the equation? How could a unbiased, curious approach to grappling with local culture and customs serve us and those around us? Terri Creeden is an executive and life coach, based here in Shanghai, who, as she puts it, re-enlisted her own coach back home early on in her expatriation journey to help her navigate some of the tough things she was facing adjusting to her day-to-day. What was the outcome of those sessions? The Ridiculous List. Tune in to hear how something as simple as making a list can radically alter your perception of what’s happening around you and help you mentally and emotionally manage the transition into life abroad.
