Why do I need an expat coach?

Regardless of your “why”, expat coaching will give you the tools to navigate life abroad with confidence. Whether you are relocating for your own career or accompanying a partner or family member, the process of settling into a new country and culture can be difficult. Aside from the practical aspects of an international move (sorting your visa, housing, schooling, etc.), expat life presents both challenges and opportunities. It is essential to have the right tools to thrive in your new environment. Working with a coach will ensure you’re prepared to make the most of the experience and create the expat life you want to live. Some situations a coach can help with:

 

Before working with a coach, it’s important to make sure you are compatible. The compatibility call is the time for us to introduce ourselves to one another, discuss why you’re interested in coaching and what you are hoping to gain from the coaching relationship. In turn, I will answer any questions you might have and explain my coaching philosophy. It’s important that you feel a sense of connection and trust with your coach so that you can be open and honest in future sessions.
