The big move
ExpatLife is a two month program for people who are in the process of learning how to adapt to be effective and enjoy life in a new country.
Moving into a new culture can be one of the most thrilling experiences of your life. It offers huge opportunities and huge challenges.
I moved to Italy from the USA four years ago. Everything around me was new. The language, my friends, my home and the cultural traditions. This was in addition to my professional challenges and the results my company expected me to produce.
It was the most thrilling experience of my life. I was loving it. Six months in, things changed. I hit a brick wall and the beauty of this new culture seemed to disappear. I was deep in the throes of culture shock.
How to avoid the brick wall
Culture shock comes from the psychological strain of having so much of your world view shifted so abruptly. It varies from one person to the next, but almost everyone experiences it to some degree.
Symptoms include:- An inability to concentrate fully at work.
- Decreased productivity in your professional and personal life.
- Feelings of depression & frustration
- Withdrawal, spending excessive amounts of time alone.
- Negative thoughts about the people and culture
- Compulsive eating and drinking, and a need for excessive amounts of sleep
ExpatComplete is more than a program. It's an opportunity to partner with an experienced coach that is 100% focused on helping you design the life you want in your new country.
Through a series of conversations and meetings I give you a powerful approach for dealing with each of the stages of your transition.
The next step
This program can be done by telephone or in person and is available to individuals, or through employers and executive relocation companies.

Data points:
Over 75% of expatriates say that moving overseas was one of the most thrilling & difficult events of their lives.
Most services provided by companies who move people abroad leave out this personal support piece.
50% of expatriates come to their new country alone. Their families most times come months later.
I have a long list of contacts and service professionals in Europe that are English speaking and foreigner friendly.
