Intercultural Coaching

 

Our coaching programs provide practical and adaptable strategies to accomplish your intercultural goals. Using specific tools and coaching models, we help you move from being ‚stuck‘ to a place of action and change to move you forward.
Our Coaching Process:
  • We help you to adjust your focus. We focus on what is right and how we can help you expand this instead of focusing on what’s wrong and how we can 'fix' it.
  • We see our clients as successful. In our experience, people are far more successful when someone they respect sees their strengths.
  • Listen, listen, listen. We listen with an open heart and open mind.
  • We ask provactive questions. Asking questions allows you to be in a receptive state rather than a judgmental state. Good questions empower, inspire, motivate and energize.
  • We help to create action. Coaching is all about action and doing something. We ask for action to move you closer to your goals.

  • What is Intercultural Coaching?
 
We offer a number of coaching packages to meet your needs, location and budget.

Expatriation & Repatriation
The decision to relocate abroad can be exciting and difficult all at the same time. Our expatriation training deals with the various aspects of the professional and personal move, including how to manage the 'mental move' and how to best prepare you and your family for the challenges and opportunities you will face in your new country and culture.
Our repatriation training prepares you for returning 'home' and the often unexpected adjustment necessary. No move is exactly the same. As such, our relocation programs are highly customized to meet your specific professional and personal needs.
