Sustainable Health and Wellness – Lingling Zhang

In Episode #36, we are joined by Lingling Zhang, a Presidential Diamond Wellness Advocate with doTERRA International LLC. We discuss:

• Lingling’s experience moving from China to the U.S., including how she was received in the U.S. and how her decision was viewed by her Chinese colleagues.

• The IT (information technology) industry in China vs. the U.S.

• How Lingling’s IT experience prepared her to succeed after her significant transition away from IT and into health and wellness.

• Why the prevalence of health and wellness companies, including those focused on essential oils and other nutraceuticals, have been increasing and will likely continue to increase.

• The challenges of overseeing and managing a team across multiple countries and time zones.

• How dealing with individuals across borders makes those international borders matter less and brings people together foremost as people, no matter the languages, countries, or cultures.

• Reading, listening, and watching recommendations from:
