I work for the Tomodachi Initiative, which is a public-private partnership between the US-Japan Council and the US Embassy in Tokyo. The program I work on is the Tomodachi Met Life Women's Leadership Program. It's a mentorship program for undergraduate Japanese women who work with career women to learn about life as a professional. The best part of having an international career is seeing the world and getting to learn all the time about new food and new cultures and new beliefs. You really see all of the things that you would see through rose-colored glasses when you're traveling. Compassion is a great tool to build resilience. Talk to yourself as if you might talk to your best friend and listen to what you're saying to yourself because we tend to be really much harder on ourselves than we would on anybody else.
