Career Coaching services for expats and aspiring expats

The description of each coaching package should help you identify the right one for you.

When you fill out the application, (link here) I’ll also tell you if I believe it’s a good fit for your goals (or if another option would be best for you).

But if you’re still unsure, you can start by clicking here to book a Taster Session (1h) including a clear action plan for one of your main challenges. If you then decide to continue with a coaching package, the cost of that session will be fully deducted. Easy!

Career coaching is an investment, for sure.

If someone genuinely hasn’t got enough savings aside, it wouldn’t be the right next step for them.

But to put it into perspective: what’s the “cost” of staying stuck in an unfulfilling job, continuing to jump ships only to find yourself in the same situation, and wasting your limited free time on fruitless job search?

Leaving a dissatisfying role behind and starting a new, more aligned chapter abroad is priceless, especially when you get there faster and more confidently.

But on top of that, my clients tend to make their investment back by learning to negotiate their salary or landing higher-paying roles with better benefits and bonuses.

I heard this from so many clients and even in my own head, when I felt stuck in Italy: “It’s impossible”, followed by all kinds of excuses.

But after helping 100+ expats and experienced professionals, I’m confident that, with the right strategy and guidance, change is possible.

The reason why it feels unachievable right now? It’s hard to think beyond your day to day or current role, you’re sabotaged by limiting beliefs, and you probably can’t see what’s truly possible for someone with your background.

Many clients told me I saw the value and potential they couldn’t see in themselves.

You mean “you have plenty of valuable experience”, right?

When it comes to changing jobs or countries, what matters most is your mentality, strategy, and drive, not the date on your birth certificate.

For example, most of my clients are 30+ (like Piotr, a Polish professional based in Germany who changed industries and landed a top travel job in the Netherlands), and one was 50+ when we completely transformed his approach to job search.

Wouldn’t it be crazier (or better, unfair) to spend 20+ years feeling like you’re wasting your time and potential? To do what others expect of you while pushing through and living for the weekend?

First of all, ‘safe jobs’ are rarely as stable as we think.

I was laid off twice, even when I was the only person managing the HR/ Recruitment of a scale-up and hitting all my KPIs in a “stable” and growing global corporation (which took pride in the fact they were hiring instead of firing, not like those tech giants doing mass layoffs…Famous last words, I guess).

Second, you don’t necessarily have to choose between ‘well-paying’ and ‘fulfilling’: your next role can be both (yes, really).

And finally, nobody is telling you to quit your job without a plan B. 

But once you get clear on your direction and conduct strategic job search, you’ll be one step closer to taking control of your career and beginning the right next chapter.

Sending lots of random applications is a waste of your limited time: they’re going to be too impersonal and generic to make you stand out.

And if you’ve already been applying to dozens of jobs and only hearing “No” or radio silence, doing more would only make you feel more frustrated and demotivated.

Instead, take it from a former recruiter: it’s much more effective to send fewer but targeted applications while having a strategy to present yourself as the best possible candidate for hiring teams (beyond your CV and cover letter, too).

For example, some of my clients reached the finalist stage after applying to 5 roles or less, and some didn’t apply at all.

If your current job is making you feel so drained that you can’t do anything about your situation, then isn’t it even more important to prioritise this change?

If someone just wouldn’t commit to it, then we wouldn’t be a good fit.

But to put it into perspective…pretty much all my clients were “too busy”!

By using their limited time for chaotic job search that led to nothing, however, they were making things even worse for themselves.

Instead, when you have space and guidance to identify the right moves and follow a bespoke plan for strategic job search, you get to apply less and get more out of it.

And if you work 9-5, don’t worry: I have early evening coaching slots, too.

That’s a shame.

Unfortunately, because my industry isn’t regulated, I heard lots of horror stories from past clients who invested in self-proclaimed coaches.

At the same time, there are plenty of incredibly talented ones, too. Maybe you just weren’t the right fit for each other?

So, to help you figure out if I'm the expats’ career coach for you:

● I invite you to go through my client reviews, where you’ll find plenty of tangible results. 

● Know that I’m certified by Erickson Coaching International and the International Coaching Federation.

● As an expat and former recruiter, I’ve been both in your shoes and on the other side. So, I know how overwhelming it all feels right now, but I also know that, with the right strategy, change is possible

● I’ve already helped 100+ expats and aspiring expats (24+ nationalities).

● I don’t make unrealistic promises like “You’ll definitely get an offer within x weeks”. But I will give you personalised guidance and proven insider knowledge to help you find the right direction, see the value and potential you’re struggling to see in yourself, and land a high-paying job abroad faster and more confidently.

● We are in this together. Everything we do will be based on setting clear expectations from the start, open communication, S.M.A.R.T. goals, and trust from both sides.

But if you’re still on the fence because of that negative experience with a different coach, you’re welcome to start with a taster session: click here to book it.

● During this 1h session, we'll tackle the biggest challenge standing in the way of your career change abroad.

● You'll get some initial clarity, and I'll create a bespoke plan of action to get you unstuck.

● If you then choose to use it to continue your big pivot and job search with my help, I’ll remove it from the invoice for one of my packages.
