Becoming an Expat Has Dramatically Changed My Mindset

Dramatically Changed My Mindset

Becoming an Expat Has Dramatically Changed My Mindset
Copyright: rawpixel / 123RF Stock Photo

We returned to Ajijic, Mexico last week after being back in Austin, Texas for 6 weeks. The trip to Austin and then returning to Mexico has gotten me to realize just how much my mindset has shifted in the last 18 months.

I recently chronicled my wife’s experience on the  Repurpose Your Career podcast episode Marc’s Wife, Lotus, and Her Observations on Moving to Ajijic. [Podcast]

I also suggest you listen to the podcast episode The Millers Move to Mexico [Podcast]

In both of these episodes, you will hear my wife Lotus and me talk about how much this exploration has changed us.

You can find all of the blog posts and podcast episodes where I am chronicling our journey and the decision-making process on the How to Move Abroad and Take Your Job With You Series Page.

Our Return to Austin and What We Noticed

We returned to Austin in late October with the plan to stay for 6 weeks, clean out our condo and prepare it for rent. On arrival, my wife and I noticed a number of changes in how we viewed things.

Noise

The noise of Austin is constant. We live a quarter mile from the main stage of the Austin City Limits Festival. We are used to the noise, but what we both noticed was the constant white noise in the background. This includes road noise and air conditioning compressors that seemed to always be on.

We live right in the center of Ajijic, a small city of 15,000 or so people on the north shore of Lake Chapala. It can be very noisy but it is a different kind of noisy. It is children in the streets playing, parades and other celebrations, or even the cohetes, which are the wonderful bottle rockets that are launched at just about every celebration.

During the month of October, cohetes are launched at 6 AM to tell everyone to wake up and come to church. Cohetes are launched again at 7 AM to tell everyone that is time to come to church. These noises are different and come to be expected rather than the constant hum that occurs in most major American cities.

My thoughts and mindset around what I want in an outside environment has surely changed in the last 18 months.

Food and Health

I had been stepping on the scale at the gym every few weeks while I was in Ajijic. It was not until I got on the scale back in Austin did I realize that I was down to 170 lbs. I had lost 12-15 lbs in the previous 4 months and I was not trying. I was back at the same weight that I was when I graduated from college.

My wife experienced a more dramatic loss of weight.

Both of us are in better shape and fewer food cravings than we have had for years.

What I really noticed was the amount of salt and sugar that was in foods in the U.S. We ate very little packaged foods in Mexico and even when we ate out, which was usually once a day, it was very noticeable how the food was seasoned without salt and sugar. My blood pressure is the lowest it has been in years in part to the reduced salt intake.

Lotus, my wife, immediately noticed how sugary foods were presented to her in just about every store she went into in Austin. This would trigger all of the bad behaviors and cravings that she had eliminated in Mexico.

My mindset has shifted around how to live a healthy lifestyle.

Fresh Local Foods

I make yogurt smoothies every morning for breakfasts. I vary them during the year to keep it interesting. When pineapples are in season I add a healthy size slice of pineapple to the smoothie. I also use blueberries, blackberries or strawberries depending on what is in season.

One morning I went to make my smoothie and I forgot to purchase a pineapple the day before.

What did I do?

I walked out my front door at 8 AM in the morning, walked 150 feet to a little grocery store which is about the size of your closet, picked out a large pineapple and paid the elderly woman who runs the store 30 pesos or about $1.50. That same pineapple would have cost $4 or more in the U.S.  I walked back to my casita and made my smoothie. Total time to perform this task was about 3 minutes. I have fresh locally grown fruit and vegetables at my fingertips for the fraction of the cost of the same in the U.S.

All of the berries I mentioned above are grown on the other side of Lake Chapala by major U.S. growers.

I am eating better, for less money and am far more healthy after only 4-5 months in Mexico.

I would not have believed this 18 months ago. My mindset has completely shifted as it relates to what I eat.

Money, Health Insurance and Healthcare

The last couple of years have been very stressed, mostly related to the cost of healthcare and health insurance. I wrote about this in the post The Looming Healthcare and Insurance Catastrophe for Baby Boomers. My wife and I spent $25K in 2017 on health insurance and healthcare and did not reach our deductible.

After we arrived in Mexico earlier this year, we did an extensive investigation of healthcare availability and both my wife and I were astonished at the quality of healthcare and the affordability. My wife had appointments with an endocrinologist, hematologist, dermatologist, had lab work done and had her teeth cleaned and we spent around $150.

I know, I know you are probably saying that the healthcare was sub-par for that price. I can tell you that my wife is a retired registered nurse, which means she is a pain in the butt patient. She was thrilled with the care. The endocrinologist spent 2 hours with her on the initial visit and she learned so much on how to manage her condition. She received better and more compassionate care from these physicians than she ever received in the U.S.

Health Insurance

We have applied for a $5000 deductible policies for each of us, which will cover us everywhere in the world except the U.S. for about $1000 a year for each of us. This is basically catastrophic health insurance, and once my wife is eligible for Medicare in 2019, we’ll not renew for 2020.

WHAT, Medicare does not cover you outside of the United States? Healthcare in Mexico is so affordable we will pay for it out of our pocket. Should some major medical event occur, my wife will return to the U.S. for treatment.

Cost of Living

We will live in Ajijic, Mexico on about 1/3 of what we lived on in Austin. This will only get worse as the cost of living in Austin rose 33% in 2018.

I know, I know you are probably thinking we are living like paupers. I can tell you we have never lived an extravagant lifestyle but we are living well.

My mindset has completely shifted around money and the cost of healthcare.

Conclusions

As I sit in the 2 bedrooms 2 bath casita on this Sunday morning, I have realized how much I have changed in the last 18 months.

  • I am healthier than I have been in years
  • Eating healthy has become easy
  • Worry about money and healthcare are largely gone
  • Stress has largely disappeared
  • I am being challenged in learning a new language

These last several months where we signed a lease and made a one-year commitment to live outside of the U.S. And then returning to our home of 40 years only to realize that living in the U.S. right now is unhealthy for us.

My mindset and belief systems have been completely rocked by this realization.

Communication Styles in the Multi-Generational Workplace [Updated]

by 1 Comment

Generational Communication Style

Communications StyleWhat is your preferred communication style?

Would you prefer to:

  • Write someone a letter
  • Talk to someone in person
  • Speak to them on the phone
  • Write an e-mail
  • Text them on your phone

Each generation has a preferred communication style that was developed a long time ago!

This does not mean that everyone within each generation communicates the same way, but there are clear generational patterns that directly correlate to the societal norms for when they grew up.

Let me pose the question – when someone moved out from their parent’s home, how did each generation communicate with friends and family back home?

Note: This post was originally published in November 2013 and was updated in December of 2018.

Greatest Generation (Born 1900-1924)

This was a period when you wrote letters.  They were probably written in cursive! If you find letters from this time you will find that they often were beautifully written. My father and mother are from this generation. My father communicated home when he was serving in World World II by letters.

Telephone communication was in its infancy and was expensive.

Their preferred communication style is written.

Silent Generation (Born 1925-1945)

The rise of the telephone and long-distance calling made keeping in touch with home much easier. They talked to their friends and family. Many of this generation came of age in the 1950s and 1960s when just aboutt every home had a phone. Long distance calling was quite expensive but calling your friends in your neighborhood for hours at a time became common.

Their prefer communication style is auditory.

Baby Boomers (Born 1946-1964)

This is my generation and we used the phone. When I went to college we used systems like calling home, letting it ring twice and then hanging up. This was a sign to our parents to call us and pay the long-distance phone charges. Like the silent generation, we liked to talk to our friends.

I am right in the middle of the baby generation, born in the middle of the 1950’s. My first job after college was working for IBM developing word processors. Being able to mass produce the written word was just in its infancy with word processors, the personal computer, and later email.

Our preferred communication style is auditory.

Generation X (Born 1965-1982)

This is the first generation that had e-mail and other forms of electronic communications. Generation X brought back the art of writing … well, kind of. They wrote but not like the Greatest Generation. No more pen and paper. Learning cursive penmanship was on the decline. Then came the rise of the personal computer, word processing software, personal printers and finally spell checkers.

This kind of writing was very different from that of the Greatest Generation.

Their preferred communication style is written… well, kind of.

Generation Y (Born 1983-2000)

The rise of electronic communications was complete with this generation. Texting or instant messaging became the preferred method of communications. Like Generation X, their preferred communication was writing, but now it was really different from the Greatest Generation.

Do not think of leaving a note written in cursive for a Gen Y! They may not be able to read it!

Their preferred communication style is written… well, kind of.

What is your preferred communication style? Does it match with your generational norms?

Cross-Generational Communications

This is where we get into trouble. What if you have an office full of multiple generations each with their own preferred communication style? What if you interacting with people of different generations in your job search?

Let’s play a game!

You come to work and you want to ask a colleague to lunch today. Their office/cubicle is a 5-minute walk from your office/cubicle. How do you approach them?

  • Walk over and ask them face to face
  • Call them on their phone
  • Send them an e-mail
  • Text them

What would you do if you were:

  • 65 years old
  • 55 years old
  • 45 years old
  • 35 years old
  • 25 years old

Would you change your communication style if the person you are asking was much older or younger than you?

Hopefully, I have gotten you to think!

Can we adapt?  YES! For example, many Baby Boomers and Generation X have learned to text better so they can communicate with their children.

Here is the problem.

Teaching Generation Y to adapt their communication style once they get into the workplace.

This does not mean we all have to just text, e-mail or talk. We need to use mixed communication styles depending on who we want to communicate with.

As a professional trainer for most of my career, I learned that I needed to adapt to the learning style of my clients or students. Similarly, if you want to be understood and get your message across, you need to adapt your communication style to the preferred method of the listener.

As a Baby Boomer, I want my Generation Y employee to be able to clearly articulate in both oral and written forms (not texting). I may have to teach them that texting a baby boomer may not get them the results they want.

I have told many generation Y employees, that if they want their baby boomer boss to listen to them, they need to talk to them and quit texting.

Similarly, I may have to text my Generation Y employee when I need something from them! If you have not figured out, please do not leave a voicemail for a generation Y employee as they probably will not listen to it. Just go ahead and text them.

We all need to be able to adapt! There is no right communication style!

Does this have an effect on how you will interact with recruiters, hiring managers, and others in your job search?

What is your next step?

This is the second in this series on the Multi-Generational Workplace. Read the rest here Multi-Generational Workplace Series.

This Is Not What I Signed Up For Moment

by 5 Comments

This Is Not What I Signed Up For!

This Is Not What I Signed Up For MomentI have had multiple discussions with people who are having This Is Not What I Signed Up For Moments.

These people are at all levels who have taken new jobs and found out that the job responsibilities were different than what they expected. I like to say they were seduced to take the job. Now they have to decide whether to get a divorce from their employer.

Sometimes they can negotiate to fix the situation but most of the time a divorce or separation agreement is needed, i.e. they need to find a new job and quit.

When this happens my first question is what did you miss during the interview process?

Sometimes there are red flags that people ignore. Other times the person did not do enough digging. Sometimes we convince ourselves that we can do a job that is really a bad fit. Finally, there may be circumstances that are undetectable like the hiring manager getting fired or let go in the time between accepting the position and starting the new job.

Let me give you a few examples.

CIO Walking into a Toxic Mess

Cynthia was an accomplished CIO who was an excellent IT problem solver. She had gone as far as she could in her previous position in moving the company’s IT operation into the new world of cloud computing before her boss said stop. She grew frustrated and decided to leave.

She then sought out a new position where she could modernize a company’s IT infrastructure. The management team of a medium-sized manufacturing business pursued her and promised her free range to be able to modernize the IT infrastructure.

After she took the position it became evident very quickly that there were competing interests across the enterprise to prevent this from happening. The politics were ferocious between finance, manufacturing, and engineering.

This is not what she signed up for! What did she miss?

Cynthia was only talking with IT management and the CEO. She was hearing what the CEO and IT management wanted her to hear. She really needed to speak with the heads of others within the organization that would be affected by the changes she was in charge of.

Cynthia left on her own accord for a new job in less than a year.

Audit Heaven to Audit Hell

Gary was a consultant who used the practice of financial audit to help companies improve their processes. He was a great leader and had an excellent reputation for bringing change using a gentle hand. He had the knack for finding flaws in the process and then convince his clients it was in their best interest to make changes that were not always easy to do.

The problem was Gary had a wife and children that were wondering what he looked like. He was gone a lot.

Gary decided to take an internal audit position with a company that was in an industry he was very familiar with. He was told they wanted him to be a strong leader.

Gary was used to having a free hand in making changes. He quickly discovered that he could not change ANYTHING. They had a process that was rigid but very flawed. Gary tried to lead some initiatives to fix some of those flaws and each time his hand was slapped by his boss. He heard every time, do what you are told and stop trying to fix things.

9 months after starting the position Gary was let go. He is looking for a new job.

This is not what he signed up for! What did he miss?

He saw red flags during the interview process but ignored them.

Gary had seduced himself that he could go from being an audit consultant where he advised to being an internal auditor where he was directly responsible for the outcome. As a consultant, he enjoyed freedom but most internal auditors are expected to follow the rules. It was not a good fit.

In hindsight, Gary should have never accepted this position.

My Sales Quota is What?

Sam had been a B2B sales guy for many years. Sometimes it was in new business development and other times he was in account management which is sometimes called customer success these days.

Sam took several years off to take care of his elderly parents.  After both of his parents had passed away he was hired by a distributor for products sold to the utility industry. It was a small team of sales people that had worked together for years.

It was very evident from day 1 that he was an outsider and would always be an outsider. Multiple people had been hired for this position and each left in less than a year. When he received his first commission check and it was half of what he was expecting it was a kick in the gut.

When he asked why the check was so small, he was told there was a typo in his offer letter.

The problem was that the company was unethical in its practices with him.  This is why the people who proceeded him left in less than a year.

Sam is looking for a new job.

This is not what he signed up for! What did he miss?

He should have looked for turn over in this position and this is fairly easy to spot on LinkedIn. Search for past employees with the company who had job titles similar to the one you are interviewing for. Reach out and ask them why they left.

You would be surprised at the number of people who will talk to you.

It is your responsibility to research a company.

How to Prevent This is Not What You Signed Up For Moments

You can be seduced into a job and I have experienced this. This can be prevented by:

  • Know thyself
  • Doing your homework
  • Following your instincts

It is your responsibility to dig deep into the organization to find out whether what you are being told is true. This is done through the interview process and online research.

Hopefully, you know yourself well enough that you will not take a position that is not well suited for you. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. I use myself as an example when I went off to teach high school math in an inner-city high school. Listen to this podcast episode From High-Tech Training to High School Teacher, and Why I Left. [Podcast]. I had convinced myself I was an extrovert when I am really a closet introvert.

Lastly, follow your gut as it is usually right. If it does not smell right then something is usually wrong.

Has this happened to you? If so, tell us about it in the comment section below.

4 Ingredients to a Winning Video Interview Environment [Updated]

by 3 Comments

Video Interview

video interviewIf you are in the job market it is highly likely you will have a video interview. Interviews are given via Skype,  Zoom or a variety of other platforms. The key to a successful video interview is to look and, more importantly, sound your best.

Even though you might think that having really good video is paramount, but it is more important to have high-quality audio. The audio quality is more important than the video.

Let me take you through the 4 ingredients of a winning video interview environment.

Note: This post was originally published in April of 2017 and was updated in November 2018.

Room Selection

The room environment where you will be interviewed is key. You want good, consistent lighting and excellent acoustics. Pick a room that is devoid of hard surfaces (like tile or wood floors), glass table tops, or lots of windows. It should also have carpeting and possibly drapes on the walls.

Hard surfaces distort the audio by causing the sound waves to reflect and creating a tinny audio effect. This can be quite annoying to the interviewer and will detract from your interview performance.

When I record my podcasts, I am in my master bedroom closet where the hanging clothes create a studio-like audio environment. You probably cannot hold a video interview in your closet, but you get the point. You will want to position yourself in the room where you are less than six feet from a wall. If your webcam has an autofocus feature you will want the camera to focus on you and not something behind you. A little trick is to buy a simple room divider with smooth paper surfaces and place it behind you.

If you select the right room for your video interview everything else becomes so much easier.

Lighting

You want even, full-spectrum lighting on the front of your face. If this is an office, the lighting will be from above and this creates a shadow under your chin. This is the 10 pounds we gain on video.

If you are at home, much of the artificial lighting will be from the side as most home lights are designed to put light on working surfaces. You may have natural lighting and most of the time it will come from the side and light up half of you.

Natural lighting is problematic in that it changes throughout the day and changes due to weather conditions. What looks good one day when you are practicing interviewing may look dark during the actual interview.

It is best to use simple lighting for your interviews. I would start by purchasing two inexpensive desk lamps and install full-spectrum light bulbs. This is a very inexpensive solution.

The cost of LED lighting has come down so much that a professional light kit like the one I bought can be had for less than $140.

These lights will act as key lights and give you even lighting. Place these pointing up at your face on the left and right. Finally, close all of the window shades. Do not spend more than $150 on the lighting. You may already have the lamps in your house or office. I would invest in some good LED or fluorescent full spectrum light bulbs.

Audio

In the world of high definition video, your audio is more important than your video. Our tolerance for poor audio is much lower than for video. You will want to sound great.

If you have picked the room properly, with sound deadening materials, this is fairly easy. Use a set of headphones. These could be the earbuds from your cell phone. You can run the wire underneath the back of your shirt so they do not show. This will eliminate any chance of an echo.

If you use headphones you can use the microphone built into your computer. However, I prefer to use a USB condenser microphone. I use an Audio-Technica ATR2100-USB Cardioid Dynamic USB/XLR Microphone that I purchased with a pop filter for less than $75.

Audio gear has come down in price significantly in the last 10 years. It is definitely worth the money to spend a little bit of money on a high-quality microphone.

Clothing, Body and Camera Positioning

Pick clothes that have color and look good on you. For most of us guys, we will need to ask for help. Avoid patterns on shirts, jackets, and ties. The cameras have gotten a lot better at dealing with patterns, but it is still best to avoid them.

It is best to be standing up when being interviewed. You will be able to use your hands naturally. Most of us will be more energetic when standing versus sitting and your diaphragm will be able to expand more easily giving you a more powerful tone.

Elevate the computer so that the camera is at the same level as the top of your head. You might get some boxes or books and put your computer on top to get it to the correct level.

Since you will only be on video from the waist up, wear shoes that will not generate any noise when you move around. Flip flops work great. The most important feature is to be in an environment where you feel comfortable. You are on stage and you want to give your best performance. Much has been written on how to perform during a video interview.

Bonus tip – tape a picture of a person where their head is directly above the camera. When you speak,  look at that picture as this will simulate making eye contact with the interviewer.

A great performance can come across poorly without the right environment.

As you can see, this is not hard. You just need to do some planning.

What do you plan to do for your next video interview?

Do You Have a LinkedIn Profile Update Strategy?

by 2 Comments

LinkedIn Profile Update Strategy?

Do You Have a LinkedIn Profile Update Strategy?You have plans to update your LinkedIn profile, but do you have a strategy on how you will leverage the update?

If you turn on Sharing Profile Edits in your LinkedIn settings, all of your LinkedIn connections will be told that you have updated your profile. I know, I know you have been told to keep it turned off. There are times when you want to tell your network that a change has been made. This could be:

  • Acquired a major certification
  • Been hired for a new job
  • Received a promotion
  • Launched a new business
  • Published a book or an article

What will happen is, you will get lots of LinkedIn messages that will be congratulating on your new accomplishment. You have their attention, you should be prepared with a strategy on how you will respond.

I recommend you respond to every single LinkedIn message! Yes, every single message with a standard, but a strategic response.

Turn On Sharing Profile Edits

If you have a lot of minor updates to make, go ahead and make those first.

When you make the major change that you want everyone to hear about, turn on “Sharing profile edits” in your privacy settings like you see below.

Do You Have a LinkedIn Profile Update Strategy?

 

Only set this when you are ready to make the major change.

I will use the example of when I added my podcast to my LinkedIn profile.

Create a Strategy with a Clear Call to Action

As soon as you make the change, you should be prepared to:

  • Thank them
  • Tell them about the change
  • Give them a clear call to action

What do you want them to do?

In my case, I added the following to my LinkedIn profile:

Do You Have a LinkedIn Profile Update Strategy?

When anyone said congratulations I responded with a stock answer:

Dear [insert first name]

I have been podcasting for one year now. Next week will be the anniversary episode and I encourage you to listen to it. https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/repurpose-your-career/id1170333446?mt=2&ls=1

I would also appreciate while you are in iTunes to write a review.

Marc Miller

What do I want? I want the reader to listen to the podcast. I point them directly to iTunes.

Did my podcast numbers spike the next week? Heck yes.

My call to action was clear and I made it very easy. Each evening I would make a copy of the stock answer into my computer’s clipboard and then I would respond to each congratulatory LinkedIn message.

New Certification

The idea for this post came from a note from a former client who is currently unemployed and looking for work. He just attained his PMP certification which should make him a bit more attractive to employers.

He added his certification to the last name and to his accomplishments section of his LinkedIn profile.

I suggested he should craft a response like the following:

[First Name],

Thanks for reaching out to me and offering your congratulations. It was a lot of hard work to complete the coursework, studying for and passing the exam. In some ways, I was surprised I passed on the first try.

I am currently looking for a project management role in the [insert industry]. Would you have a moment for a quick phone call to get some sage advice? If you are willing please schedule 15 minutes on my calendar at https://meetme.so/mycalendar .

I would really appreciate it if you would pass on any leads you might have.

[signature]

The call to action was to schedule a quick phone call and he made it easy to schedule a time. Notice what we asked for was some sage advice. You want to use a magic word of advice. This can also be referred to as asking for A-I-R or advice, insights, and recommendations.

Note: I am a big fan of ScheduleOnce and I have no affiliate relationship with them. I am just a very happy customer.

Simple LinkedIn Update Strategy

The key is to ask for a call to action and make that something easy to do. You want to eliminate as many barriers as possible in allowing them to take action. If they need to send an email that asks when are you available or look up your phone number or anything else, your contact is less likely to take action.

K.I.S.S – Keep it simple stupid. Make it easy for them to help you.

Finally, please remember that most people would like to help you if they can. Not everyone will be able to help you. However, for the ones that make the effort make sure and say “thank you”.

Have you taken the time to create a LinkedIn Update Strategy? If so, comment below and tells us about it.

Note: When you are done with this process, you probably want to turn off the Sharing profile edits field in your LinkedIn privacy settings.
