Solutions for first-time expats and international teams

Expat Coaching

International relocations are vastly complex and both their professional and emotional impact are often underestimated. A one- or two-day cross-cultural training or workshop is a great start, but it’s the consistent follow-up through coaching that ensures a more reliable adaptation.

 

Coaching can make the difference between surviving and thriving in a new country.

Are you experiencing any of the following?

  • My management style isn’t working.
  • I’m under pressure to deliver results that are not realistic.
  • Since I gave up my job to follow my spouse abroad I don’t know who I am anymore.
“Problems are not the problem; coping is the problem.” – Virginia Satir

  • analyze your current position and professional profile,
  • support you in dealing with the changed circumstances,
  • help you determine what your ideal job situation would be,
  • explore what it takes to start your own business or
  • identify possibilities in the host job and volunteer market, and

Benefits

Benefits of coaching have been widely documented all across business and personal development business literature. They include

  • more effective goal setting,

  • and improved self-confidence and accountability.

For expat executives, spouses, as well as repatriates who are returning home, having a culturally sensitive coach adds a significant advantage.

Coaching is a professional relationship that will be most effective when we like, respect, and trust each other.
