Hi! I am Amel Derragui

I am a global citizen raised across various cultures. Since the age of 14, I have been passionate about entrepreneurship and social impact. After a corporate career in sales and advertising, I launched my portable business as a marketing consultant for global organizations, which allowed me to move from one country to another and gave me more freedom with my time.

A few years later, I decided to share what I learned along the way and the methodology I developed for growing a business that aligns with your needs. My proven framework has since helped more than 180 solopreneurs and small business owners around the world start, grow or scale their business.

I am here to help you get the clarity and action plan you need to position yourself as the go-to expert in your field and grow your business.

Whether you are just getting started on your entrepreneurial journey or are ready to take your business to the next level, this is your time to make a bigger impact, while creating more freedom and purpose in your life!

  • Excellent Podcast and Amazing Coach
    by Mona B 567 from United States

    Amal is one of the most intelligent, talented, creative and personable people I have ever met. Each episode of her podcast is inspiring and motivating and I always learn something new or gain valuable insight into my own life. Amal’s passion for coaching and her gift for teaching have changed how I view myself and have rekindled my faith in my ability to thrive as an expat, not just survive.

  • For the big picture stuff AND details
    by Julie D5220 from United States

    I found Tandem Nomads when I needed to hear that I was not alone in the frustrations of being an accompanying partner. (Ok, I really needed it 3 years earlier but I was glad to find it when I did!) Through hearing the stories of other expat partners, I realized that my feelings were normal and that there was lot of support out there. As I found my expat footing and slowly moved to building my own business, Amel’s podcast has been there every step of the way. There is content that addresses the bigger picture topics, but also content that gives practical tips on expat life and being a soloprenuer. Amel’s own advice as well as that of her guests is just what I need to navigate life. I recommend Tandem Nomads to all of my expat friends, as well as to anyone looking to find the opportunities in their own challenging employment situations.

  • Career Transition Support Excellent
    by Natasha Winnard from United Kingdom

    I recently transitioned from working in international schools for over 20 years around the world. Setting up an online, portable educational consultancy business to support mobile students and their families, with a youth empowerment social justice element, was a completely new professional experience for me. Tandem Nomads episodes have, and continue to, provide excellent insight and learning for me navigating a new professional world. And after each episode, I am more empowered and think “I can do this!”. Thank you. A great resource to support and guide anyone wanting to grow a successful portable business and thrive in your expat life.

  • Dealing with the negative emotions
    by Fr OL from Canada

    Gabriela Encina is both inspirational and empowering! I got from this podcast to welcome all of our emotions, the pleasant as well as the unpleasant ones without any discrimination--each being a dear friends sending us messages we should listen and interpret. Amel is doing an excellent job interviewing. Thanks to both of you.

  • Valuable content
    by Nordwallm from United States

    Each episode has valuable advice and a takeaway. These episodes have helped me so much. More importantly, I have found my tribe. My family moves often and I find comfort in identifying with other peoples stories and success. Melanie

  • An excellent podcast to get started and keep going
    by batyrn from United States

    Amel is an inspiring presence and a smart business person. This is coming from someone who already has an MBA from an elite business school. Her insights are simple yet powerful. She promotes action by way of consistency and positive reinforcement. More importantly, Amel advocates authenticity as a core business value. Her podcast is on the shortlist of those I am subscribed to and listen regularly.

  • Inspiring!

    A very inspiring podcast about being expat and how to make the most of your time abroad when you are an expat accompanying partner. Thank you Amel Derragui for the constant Inspiration

THE TIME IS NOW BLOG

One thing you will come to know about me, is that on top of making work fun, I am all about step-by-step processes and breaking down big ideas into small, doable action steps to get the ball rolling and help you gain momentum!

In my blog and on my podcast, I share with you both inspirational stories and actionable tips you can implement to start or grow your business with more impact and flexibility.

All of my content is inspired by my own experiences running a business for more than a decade while living across four continents, and the results I have gotten for my clients with my methods.

These blog posts are designed in particular for those who prefer to read an article rather than listen to a podcast. In fact, I have taken some of my most valuable solo episodes (just me without a guest) and turned them into blog posts that you can refer back to any time for guidance.
