​​

  • enjoy your expat life to the fullest and never struggle with living abroad?

  • never feel guilty of leaving loved ones back home or raising your children in another culture?

Benefits of Coaching

Coaching  is about your personal and professional growth.
It is about being willing to allow your coach to ask you the tough questions in life, gain new awareness and follow through with your set action steps. Your coach will hold you accountable.

You will have a deep and honest conversation and if you go all in, change your life. 
I dare you to try it!

Learn  here  about the neuroscience behind coaching and why it is so effective.

Recent Podcasts

I had a heartfelt conversation about expat guilt — that mix of gratitude and guilt many of us feel when we leave aging parents behind or watch our children navigate a life we chose for them.

I talk with Prof. Dr. Stefan Remhof about the benefits of expat coaching and that supporting your employee and their family especially when they move abroad will always come back to the company.

Marie Suazo interviews her guests on all things TCK. We talked about how important it is to create awareness first and then go from there.

We will look at some typical struggles that most couples experience abroad and you will learn how coaching can help you to live happily ever after (and during) your expat assignment.

Reviews

 

Coaching has helped me immensely. It's been incredible having someone who has had the same experience as me talk to me. They always say when you are talking to someone about something it is good for the person to whom you talk to to have some sort of knowledge about what you are talking about so that you be understood and feel validated.

Having someone to check in and keep me accountable to things that I say I want to do in order to move forward has also been helpful.

 

Coaching because I want to complete the mission of becoming the kind of person I want to be.
