In today's episode, we have the pleasure of speaking with Stephanie Lintner. Born in France and raised in various countries including the Netherlands, Germany, and Israel, Steph offers a unique perspective on what it means to be a diplomat’s child.

Although she has a German passport, and both of her parents are German, Steph doesn’t identify as a German herself. She has been living in Switzerland for the past 15 years after attending Les Roches where she studied International Hospitality Management. She now works as a Talent Acquisition Partner at a biotech company in Zurich.

We hear how you should adapt to the country instead of expecting the place to adapt to you. Going outside of your comfort zone is crucial in learning the ropes of a new place. And while it may feel like you're drowning at times, riding the wave is key - expect it to be tough but know that you'll make it out eventually.

"Unless you ask for it, no one will give it to you," asking for help is something that Steph learned from her experiences as well. Being structured and clear on what you need and practicing asking for it can make all the difference.

Steph used her experiences and unique skill set from her global citizenship journey to excel and find passion in her profession. Join us as we delve deeper into Steph’s story and learn more about the challenges and joys of being a diplomat’s child.

It's amazing how unique each of our experiences are, but we hope that you can relate to many aspects and take away some comfort and learnings to apply in your own life.
