Culture transition coaching is probably one of the most valuable tools expats should (and rarely ever do) make use of. As both a TCK (third culture kid) and now an expat mom, I've experienced first hand the entire array of feelings associated with relocating and fitting in to new cultures. I know all about the mixture of confusion, excitement, sorrow, anxiety, pain, enjoyment, fear, anger, stress, emptiness, frustration, lack of identity, lack of direction and even feelings of guilt that many of us feel.
We prepare every possible detail of our move in every possible way and invest massive amounts of time, and sometimes money, to plan our physical transition. But only a tiny percentage of us ever reflect upon the anxiety and other feelings these changes may be causing in ourselves.
Transition Coaching
It isn't until we've had some time to settle in to our new surroundings that we may suddenly begin to feel the effects of having forgotten to take ourselves into account. And that's when these emotions can manifest themselves either suddenly or in unperceived ways, filtering into our every day life, and chipping away at our ability to enjoy a sense of belonging in each new culture we enter.
I want you to love your overseas adventure, delve deeply into the new culture you are living in, and experience it fully, while also feeling a true sense of belonging and community from your expat family. That's why I encourage you to make use of it.
When I was growing up in different parts of North and South America culture transition coaching was simply unheard of. Today there are TENS OF THOUSANDS of cross culture and expat adults, teens and kids across the globe most of whom are never offered any type of culture transition coaching. I'm not afraid to tell you I was one of them and MANY of us struggled through much of our lives. It's important to let you know how much confusion and unhappiness could be avoided with some simple targeted culture transition coaching tools.
Because so many of us are unaware of this invaluable support, we don't take advantage of it. Often the consequences result in drastic changes in our lives.
Culture transition coaching exists precisely because the number of expatriates and their third culture kids is growing phenomenally and our needs can no longer be ignored. Find out how culture transition coaching can help you and your family overcome or avoid obstacles to having a satisfying overseas experience. Life is about choice. So choose to live your life FULLY.
