EXPAT COACHING

Background

After the 4th international relocation as a result of my husband’s professional career, I started to think what I really wanted to do with my life. Since graduating from university, I have been gone through quite some transitions in my life. From a chemical engineer to a professional athlete. Then as an expat partner living in 4 different countries and each time finding a new purpose. I can tell you, it wasn’t always easy. But what I do know is that I wouldn’t do it different if I had the chance. All those experiences were opportunities for growth and thus have formed me as a person.

 

In 2021, right after our move to Scotland, I felt the urge to start building something sustainable for myself. Something I could take with me where ever I wanted to go. Since I was already working with athletes from my triathlon business and the luggage I brought from several coaching institutes,  I knew that coaching is something I’m really passionate about. Helping people to help themselves to unlock their full potential and become the best version of themselves is what gives me satisfaction and fulfillment. What I needed was more practice and skills to become confident in coaching. And that was the moment I found out about iPEC (Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching).

 

It’s one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Going through the coaching experience myself, it has totally changed my view on everything. The core of this coaching journey is to create awareness how we show up in life and in any given situation and what we want to do with that.

Common challenges expats face

• Finding purpose in a new place/country

• Dealing with loss of close connections/family/friends "back home"

• Fear of making new friends

• Frustration about not able to speak in your mother language

• Dealing with the change for yourself and your family (including children)

• Overwhelm about where to start

• Loneliness

 

How it works

When you choose to go on a coaching journey with me, I will partner with you and utilize a thought-provoking and creative process to inspire and motivate you to unlock and maximize your personal potential. I believe you have all the answers you’re looking for inside of you, and even when you’re not sure, I will help you find this inner wisdom. If you’re really ready and willing to make the best of your life abroad, you can and you will!
