Coaching & Consulting by Sonja Kirschner

Achievement is not about what you've done but what you've gained from your experience.

Why expat coaching?

Research shows that in more than 50 percent of the time when expatriate assignment fail it's due to personal reasons. If YOU think about it that's not a big surprise: Highly committed employees are naturally also highly committed to their loved ones and often there is a spoken or sometimes unspoken promise that goes along the lines: "If this doesn't work for all of us, we're going home". Therefore, employers need to be invested in making international assignments work for EVERYONE. Plus: High expectations due to costly transfer investments lead to frequent high-pressure situations, while significant changes in work, lifestyle and culture come with the new job and add to the challenge - and again, not only for the expatriating employee but for the entire family. 

​
