The Global Jungle Conversations — 01: The Hidden Costs of Gl

You moved countries. Your career didn’t automatically move with you.

A new country. A new role. A new opportunity. That is how international mobility is usually presented.

But what happens to the professional identity you spent years building? Your network, reputation and influence don’t automatically travel with you. You bring the same qualifications, expertise and ambition, yet find yourself having to prove your value again.

The Global Jungle Conversations brings people together for real conversations about navigating culture, power, opportunity and leadership across borders.

In this first conversation, Peggy Grüninger invites you to explore the hidden professional and personal costs of global mobility:

• What happens when your experience crosses borders, but recognition doesn’t?
• Does international experience always make you more valuable—or can it make you harder to place?
• What happens to your network, influence and sense of belonging when you start again?
• How do you translate who you are professionally into a different cultural context without losing yourself?

This is a small, facilitated conversation with space to bring your own experiences and questions.
