Tina Quick knows a lot about moving. And she's putting it to use to help others to make their transitions--often recommending Skype to help make their landings soft.

The Boston area entrepreneur notes: "As the daughter of a U.S. Air Force man and the wife of an international public health physician, I made 18 moves (nine of them before my 10th birthday), lived in eight different states, six countries and four continents.

There's more: "My husband (Jono, a public health doctor and himself a Skype power user) and I raised three daughters in Asia, Africa and Europe over the course of 15 years. When we returned to the U.S. I decided to put my expertise to work and started a small consultancy."

She describes in this Skype video how her Winchester, Mass. firm International Family Transitions helps people, especially people who have been relocated internationally to pursue their educations or careers or to follow their spouses or parents, make these often difficult transitions as ex-pats and also as re-pats.

She said Skype audio and video can help these folks adjust to moving far from home or coming back.

Tina notes: "I have been doing seminars and workshops for educators, United Nations groups and international schools. I particularly enjoy working with international students to prepare them for the transition experience of going off to university, particularly if they are returning to their 'home' country."
