There are moments when conversations go beyond small talk — when stories, perspectives, and lived experiences open up something deeper within us.

At The Gallery, we want to create more of these moments.

A space where people from different paths come together to listen, reflect, and connect.

For our upcoming gathering, we’re bringing you an intimate evening session with Alan McIvor, a Senior Recruiter, on “From English Teacher to Industry Influencer: Building a Career and Personal Brand in Taiwan”.

Alan’s story is one of transformation and reinvention. Originally arriving in Taiwan as an English teacher, he went on to build a successful career in executive recruitment, becoming a trusted advisor to both international professionals and leading companies across Taiwan. His journey offers a unique perspective on career growth, adaptability, and the opportunities that can emerge when you are willing to step beyond your original path.

Through personal stories and practical insights, Alan will share what he has learned about navigating career transitions, building meaningful professional relationships, and developing a personal brand that reflects who you are — not just what you do.

This is a conversation about more than career success — it’s about belonging, reinvention, and building a life that feels authentically your own. A thoughtful evening of reflection, practical insights, and honest stories from the expatriate journey in Taiwan.
