My Coaching Services

One of your specialists has come to you from abroad, taken up the position – and now sick leave is increasing, the drop in performance is noticeable, or there is simply "something in the air" that cannot be clearly defined.

Visas, accommodation, and relocation were no problem. The problem only becomes apparent afterward: culture shock, homesickness, feeling overwhelmed, even to the point of burnout – or a family that doesn't settle in the new country, while your employee functions well outwardly.

Especially when living and working in a new country, exhaustion often intensifies invisibly: it's not just the job that's demanding, but the entire new life simultaneously – without the familiar network of family, friends, and routine that usually provides support. Some compensate for this by throwing themselves even harder into their work – until loneliness and a lack of integration in their private lives eventually take their toll on their performance.

And if the accompanying partner or children are having difficulties, the affected person often has to bear both burdens simultaneously: their own pressure and the worry for the family.

And it rarely stays with just one person. If someone on the team isn't fitting in, is overwhelmed, or clashes culturally, the whole team often feels it – through tensions, misunderstandings, or a noticeable shift in the atmosphere. That's precisely why supporting an individual often has an impact beyond that person: when someone regains stability, it visibly eases the pressure on collaboration across the entire team.

These aren't typical performance issues – and they can't be solved with traditional HR measures. What helps here is someone who understands what actually happens when living and working in a foreign country.

I offer your employees precisely this kind of support – based on my own experience. I've gone through this transition myself seven times, including working as an employee in a foreign country. So I understand not only the process of emigration, but also what your international employees experience: finding their way professionally in a new company, a new culture, and a new daily routine. And I also know the rarely discussed side: how it feels when integration simply doesn't work out despite all the best intentions. This knowledge informs my work with your employees – before overwhelm leads to burnout or a failed integration.

With two German coaching certifications and ongoing ICF-ACC accreditation, I support your international employees precisely where organizational issues end and the human element begins.
