Individual Expatriate Coaching: Kerry predominantly coaches the Expatriate Accompanying Partner.

Moving can be one of the most stressful times of life. Many people who move to a new country, or are repatriating, experience some of the following challenges:

• Alienation, disorientation and isolation;
• Loss of identity;
• Loss of career, difficulty in maintaining career, or difficulty in entering or re-entering the workforce;
• Frustration at day-to-day logistical difficulties;
• Difficulty in adapting to new environment and culture; and
• Grief at leaving familiar people, places, and times.

The expatriate accompanying partner often experiences these challenges whilst simultaneously being the primary support for family members who are also coping with change. The ability of the accompanying partner to lead the family through transition can make the difference between an international experience where the family thrives or just survives. In fact, the most common factors in international assignment failure are partner dissatisfaction, family concerns, and inability to adapt.

Creating a new life, in a new place, takes vision, planning, time, commitment, support, and action. Kerry’s coaching provides clarity, structure, accountability, and support, empowering expatriate accompanying partners to:

• Move through relocation transition intentionally, finding renewal through international experience;
• Turn international move into an opportunity to develop personally and professionally;
• Experience emotional resilience;
• Adapt to new environment and culture quicker and easier;
• Take care to morn the losses, whilst being present in the moment and looking toward the future; and
• Lead families through relocation transition, enabling the family to move from surviving to thriving.

Are you:

• An accompanying partner who is daring to create a novel life for you and your family in a new part of the world?
• An expatriate who wants to support your partner and other family members to move from surviving to thriving? or
• A company that wants to increase the success of your employees on international assignments, by supporting expatriate accompanying partners who enable you and your expatriate employees to succeed?

If so, invest in your greatest asset - the expatriate accompanying partner – and dare to experience the benefits of coaching!
