Webinar Overview:  The ABA Consumer Guide to Retiring Abroad

More and more Americans are choosing to retire abroad.

Many people make the decision primarily for lifestyle factors and fail to consider all the elements that come into play: lifestyle, living costs, citizenship, finances, taxes, health care, and property. Laws vary from country to country, particularly regarding taxation, property, and health care.

While the possible lifestyle in one country may be ideal, other factors can make life difficult. George will share essential information for those thinking about retiring abroad and highlights problem areas so you can make the best possible decisions for your circumstances.

You will learn about little-understood legal and tax consequences that one should plan for prior to committing to a specific country. This is particularly important now because the IRS has signaled that it is going to pursue foreign income issues far more aggressively.

So, do your due diligence and look before you leap!

Join George so you can comfortably land on foreign soil with all your ducks in a row!

Presenter: Brian E. Howard

A native of Nebraska, Mr. Howard attended the University of Nebraska. (Ah, yes, Go Huskers!) There he received both his undergraduate and law degrees. After law school, he entered the private practice of law in the Kansas City area, which is still his home. The firm he joined specialized in civil defense litigation. However, after four years of practice, he became disillusioned with what a career as a litigation attorney would be. He made a career move.

With his wife Kathy, they took a chance in life and opened an executive search firm. They felt that by combining their skills with dogged determination they could start their firm and make-a-go of it. They were right!

Mr. Howard has a passion for the job search process and the people he interacts with. And, having consulted with thousands of job seekers over the course of his career and seeing so many of them struggle, he always felt a deep motivation and desire to help. But beyond his recruiting work, a venue to share his knowledge of the job search process just didn’t present itself.

That changed during the economic downturn of 2008 and 2009. A lot of people lost their jobs during that period and were scared about their futures. In the midst of all that, Mr. Howard volunteered to conduct a few job search seminars for his church. As a part of that shoe-string program, he created a short workbook. After the seminars were finished he started tinkering around with the workbook. And before he knew it, the short workbook was evolving. In the process, his mind caught fire and (being the former lawyer) the research into job search topics went into overdrive. He couldn’t read enough! Soon that short workbook evolved into a guide (more topics and more depth) which eventually transformed into a The Motivated Job Search. The first in a series of Motivated titled job search books. The first edition of The Motivated Job Search was released in April 2016.

A second book, The Motivated Networker was released in September 2016. The third book, Over 50 and Motivated, was released in April 2017. The fourth book, The Motivated Job Search Workbook was also released in April 2017 simultaneously with Over 50 and Motivated.

In the Fall of 2017, the fifth book in the series, Motivated Resumes and LinkedIn Profiles will be released.

In the Spring of 2018, the second edition of The Motivated Job Search is scheduled to be released and in the Fall of 2018, the second edition of Over 50 and Motivated is scheduled to be released

The counseling field is “turning towards” understanding the multiple interconnections between chemical dependency and trauma. Many trauma survivors use/abuse substances as a way to medicate, punish or reward themselves, and/or as a way to escape from intrusive memories and sensations of trauma. Inversely, substance abuse can create more vulnerability and risk of traumatic events occurring. In addition, any shame associated with past trauma can be exacerbated by the shame of substance abuse.
This clinical training will help participants refine skills in working with traumatized clients who have a history of substance abuse or who begin using during trauma therapy. Through interactive exercises, video, lecture, and live demonstrations using actors, Janet Brodsky will teach the principles and clinical thinking process behind differential assessment and treatment where substance abuse affects therapy.
Based on a foundation of theoretical concepts, participants will utilize small group discussion and three case examples to accomplish these workshop objectives:
· Describe and distinguish factors affecting treatment approach where traumatization and substance abuse coincide.
· Investigate several clinical challenges and distinct approaches to trauma therapy when substance abuse is an influence in the client’s life.
· Develop a components approach to treatment planning with clients who have experienced trauma and substance abuse.
