At Building the Life You Want LLC we believe that there is a coaching solution to every problem.

“Problems are not the problem; coping is the problem.” - Virginia Satir


When moving abroad, a very common issue is that the expat spouse may have to interrupt or give up their career. What used to be a dual-income household is now changing into something else, and whether it is welcomed or not, this change often has an impact on the spouse’s understanding of their identity and self-esteem. It affects the relationship dynamics between the adults and therefore influences the whole family system.

We offer various Career Coaching modules that are designed to
  • 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,
  • identify possibilities in the host job and volunteer market, and
  • provide accountability to set and reach realistic goals.

Choose Coaching if you
  • are ready and willing to take responsibility for building the life you want to live,
  • have bought too many self-help books that ended up on a shelf,
  • are open to exchange ideas with an experienced professional who has been in your situation, and
  • appreciate the value of one-on-one personalized accountability and confidential support.

Coaching can make the difference between surviving and thriving in a new country. Please contact us today to talk about your unique situation and schedule your first session.
