Anyone who knows me knows I don’t love housekeeping.At least… not until it’s done.
But I do love a clean house. And when things are in their place, everything functions better. There’s breathing room. Flow. Possibility.
So this past week, I rolled up my sleeves and did the digital housekeeping for TL Global Insights. And I’m happy to say: it finally feels like the site is reflecting what we’re building.
If you haven’t visited the site recently, now’s a great time to stop by. Here’s what’s new and where to look:
🧭 Programs: What We’re Offering
Each program is built to support thoughtful, globally minded professionals – whether you’re sharpening your language skills, deepening your cultural insight, or exploring the big ideas behind leadership and meaning-making.
✅ Prepositions Deep Dive
This one kicked things off with precision and depth. A fantastic group came together around a seemingly small topic that quickly opened up rich conversations about clarity, nuance, and communication across contexts. Bonus: a meaty eBook was just added for participants!
✅ To Wake, To Speak
Launched just last week – and wow, what a response! The live session was electric. Participants came ready to wrestle with the legacy of May Fourth writers and what their voices still have to teach us about language, responsibility, and translation today. The conversations spilled into the weekend – and we’re still going.
✅ A Story in Two Keys
This one’s hot off the press: we launched today with the first two video lessons. Four more will drop over the next couple of days, leading into Friday’s live session. It’s a close-up look at Billy Joel’s Uptown Girl, unpacking layers of class, race, and gender across decades. Plus, a bonus video on how we read well – and why it matters.
Keep up with our these and other programs on the program page.
🛍️ Store: More Resources, Easier to Find
The online store now has clearer links and growing inventory. We’ve added new eBooks (with more on the way) at accessible prices – especially useful for translators, language educators, and reflective readers. All affordable. All practical. All grounded in what we care most about: quality and cultural insight.
📡 Channels: Our Content Ecosystem
These are the heart of our educational model. Each channel features:
One long-form program per month (with a live session)
Weekly resource drops (eBooks, PDFs, videos, etc.)
You can subscribe to one channel or choose the All Channel Pass (a popular option).
📚 Between the Lines
Where translation meets meaning. We explore literature across languages and cultures – like in To Wake, To Speak.
🌍 Word & World
For curious minds and global thinkers. Expect culture notes, language deep dives, and cross-cultural insights. (A Story in Two Keys and Prepositions Deep Dive live here.)
🌿 Ink & Insight
Garden wisdom meets personal and leadership growth. Our first short-form program is live, and our first long-form release is coming later this month.
👣 And One More Thing…
Not only is the homepage neater and more easily navigated, and not only are the menus now properly cleaned up, but you’ll also find more info here about our offline services and testimonials, so prospective clients can see what kind of impact we’re making both on-screen and in the room.
🌸 The House Is Clean. Let’s Build.
So no, I don’t love housekeeping. But I do love what it makes possible.And this new chapter of TL Global Insights is starting to feel… well, a bit like home.
Hope you’ll stop by the site, take a look around, and see what resonates.
If you’re new here – welcome. If you’ve been here for a while – thank you.
This space is only growing stronger. And I’m so glad you’re part of it.
