CLEAR & CONFIDENT Career Coaching for Expat Partners
How would it feel to be clear about what you want to do, feel confident, and start celebrating accomplishments in 3 months from now?
You may have landed here because it’s common for expat partners to feel…
… Like you lost part of yourself on the journey
… Tired of introducing yourself as “the wife of…” or “the mom of…”
… Craving for accomplishment and earning your own money again
… Eager to work but not clear about what you’d like to do
… Always busy but not really fulfilled
… Guilty about wanting more than taking care of your family
… Overwhelmed with lots of ideas and not sure where to start
What I’ve learned coaching expat partners
It’s not just about work. It's a healing process.
Finding a fulfilling work path helps you maintain a sense of stability, your own identity, and a feeling of belonging to a tribe.
And because you are not a pizza ; ), as you start to feel more wholesome and accomplished, you’ll start to see positive ripple effects in other areas of your life.
The right time is before when you feel ready
It’s very common to keep postponing a new thing, maybe until you have done that course, or the kids move out, or you move again… Starting now, exactly where you are is actually the best time.
Some clients started coaching before their first move, others during their first assignment, and others after a few moves and after a long career break.
Finding your purpose or passion not the most important thing
Some clients have figured out how to make their previous careers portable, others reconnected with old forgotten talents, and others discovered new interests.
Purpose was not the defining variable for their success! But realizing there are many paths that could make them happy, and to allow themselves explore deeper one of the interesting paths instead of to remain dreaming about many different ones.
Making time in your schedule for your work is empowering
The less valued people feel, the more they let guilt and a pleasing others attitude drive their lives. They need encouragement and support to feel important enough to take space in their own lives.
Making space in your diary for your work is a reflection of making space in your mind and your soul for an exciting, interesting and independent part of yourself.

Working on mindset, obstacles, fears
The fun part ; ). As you progress, we’ll see what kind of resistances come up, the contradictory parts of you that may resist change and block your progress. We’ll understand them and work on getting through them. Your values will be your pillars of strength through this process. Your fears will show you the way.

Next steps
As we prepare to off-board you, we’ll make sure you have a clear plan. Now you’ll build a “team”, a structure and a process to keep going.
