TRANSITIONS Coach
Global Moves. Seize the opportunity!
Helping expat spouses re-discover who they are and create their life after an international move
What I Offer
My goal is to provide coaching and consulting services that will support expat spouses who would like additional traction and motivation during the global transition. You have what it takes to get settled but I believe we can all benefit from having someone on our side during times of transition. Did you know that excitement, stress and fear lead to very similar physical sensations? Alone and isolated, those sensations can easily be interpreted as fear and a reason to pull in and away from the cultural adaptation. Supported and coached, the same situations can be opportunities for stretching and growing, for learning. A coach can help make the difference between a problem and an opportunity.
GET SETTLED FASTER!
The sooner you, as mom, get your feet on the ground, the faster all of you are likely to start enjoying the new culture and your new home.
Like most families, if Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy
If you went home after a year, would you feel satisfied that you took advantage of this expatriate experience? Coaching is about you defining your success and achieving it on your terms.
As your coach, I will be there to help you to investigate and achieve an expatriate life that you love.
In partnership we will:
- Explore what matters most so you can create an expatriate experience you value
- Set goals that excite and motivate you
- Access and use your strengths to help you get settled
- Support your steps along the way to success

Group coaching lends itself to shared learning and networking while the group accountability is motivating and energizing.
