We return to looking at origin series again in this Think Education podcast episode and the baton passes from Judith to Chris today.

Chris reflects on his initial career aspirations and how they morphed into a life in international higher education with a seamless (at least in hindsight) journey all mapped out! Judith and Chris talk about the lessons we learn along the way and how, one thing can quite literally lead to another. The ability, and freedom, to be open to possibilities is a luxury that often pays off.

Following on from Judith’s honest reflection regarding the challenges of living and working internationally, Chris looks back over his first major professional international move and reflects on his place within this process, what he gained from it and how he navigated the ups and downs.

Chris talks candidly about what happens at the end of a posting and how this can impact identity, wellbeing and indeed family life. What happens next is a common question, and indeed concern, for many of us who are working away from our ‘home’ country.

Internationalisation teaches you many things, not least of all that stability is a fluid concept. We rapidly become more comfortable with chaos and uncertainty, both in our professional and personal lives. It teaches you the need to be flexible and to roll with the punches. Life won’t always work out the way you think it will but it will often be quite a ride along the way.

If you would like to come on the podcast and share your international higher education journey, please do let us know. We would love to hear from you.
