Global Expat Coaching

 

Whether you are a multinational looking to offer transitional support to your global leaders abroad and their spouses, or an individual in need of committed guidance and expertise of someone who's spent 25 relocating globally for career and education while raising a family, I can help.

​

Career and life transition, navigating new cultures both inside and outside the workplace, developing leadership competencies, or overcoming the inevitable hurdles of living abroad, I would love to bring my decades of working with clients in service of your needs.


WHO DOES IT SUPPORT?​

  • Global leaders anywhere in the world

  • Multinationals / military

  • International assignees

  • Expat partners/families

  • University students moving away from home (nationally or internationally)

​

WHAT'S THE PROCESS?

  • Initial call to determine where you're at in your life/career

  • Deeper conversation to discover underlying concerns and aspirations

  • As your coach, I identify core challenges and opportunities, and together we create a customized plan for your move abroad or back home

  • Weekly/biweekly calls allow us to pivot where necessary and redirect your strategic path for the best, smoothest outcomes

  • Inevitable and unforeseen speed bumps will happen along the way and in your new locale - I'm there to support you, to feel a sense of certainty and competency in dealing with whatever your face (culture shock, loneliness, foreign language ... you name it!)

  • Working with clients who are leaving the familiarity of home for a new life chapter provides a "thinking and feeling" partner to safely share fears and anxieties, reframe challenges into opportunities, and focus on a powerful plan for success and fulfillment.  It mitigates stress and tension, increases productivity, strengthens mental/emotional health and ensures solid relocations.

​

HOW DOES IT WORK?

  • Personal one-to-one coaching

  • We schedule a time that suits you

  • Connect for 30 - 60-minute sessions (via phone or using video platforms such as Zoom, Skype, etc.)

​

Customized coaching is tailored to the needs of both company and individual in order to achieve optimum results.  Contact me to learn more about designing a coaching program to suit your needs and get started with a free 20 minute consultation. 

Travelling

It gives you HOME in

Then leaves you a STRANGER
