Expat coaching is added value for expats who want to make a good start in the Netherlands:

 

Faster adaptation to the culture:
The Netherlands has its own cultural norms and values, which can sometimes be very different from what an expat is used to. I can help you bridge the cultural differences you may come across.

Social integration:
It can be difficult to build a social network in a new country. I can provide support and deploy my own network on how and where to make new contacts, such as joining clubs, participating in local activities or even start voluntary work.

Language support:
Learning the Dutch language can be essential for your integration in the Netherlands.
I can give you advice and practice Dutch with you and/or you can join my weekly Walk and Talk and Meet sessions in Hoofddorp or Amstelveen.
N.B. I am not a qualified teacher nor do I teach Dutch as a second language.

Emotional support:
Moving to a new country can be stressful and cause feelings of loneliness or homesickness. I am a job coach and in addition finished my Stress Management training. Both  provides me with the tools and experience to provide support and techniques for staying positive and adjusting to a new life.

Professional Development:
Working in a new country can present challenges, such as adjusting to a different work culture or finding your way in a new professional network. I can provide guidance on career planning, building a professional network, and finding a pleasant work-life balance for both the expat or the partner/family of the expat.

Overall, expat coaching helps to reduce your challenges of moving to and settling in the Netherlands for you (and your family), allowing you to integrate faster and more effectively and build a successful and fulfilling experience in the Netherlands.
