Saving time and sanity—navigating the new workplace with ease

In their new American workplace, your expat assignee is navigating a culture where so much works differently—what gets prioritized, how leadership happens, when planning kicks in. Then there’s how problems are communicated, how quickly clients expect answers, or when a “yes” actually is a commitment.

They’re often left wondering: How should I interpret this? How do I respond? How can I contribute effectively?

So, they piece things together, take a wild guess, and hope for the best—never quite sure if they’ve just stepped on another cultural landmine. It’s draining, it’s stressful, and it’s a huge time sink.

Don’t they deserve some support—a guide to help them decode American (work) culture? With me in their corner, they’ll get real-time answers, practical solutions, and effective strategies. Plus, a healthy dose of pep talks to keep them going strong.

Intercultural coaching is the perfect complement to relocation training where we lay the foundation for a successful assignment: your employee gains a solid understanding of American culture and the key differences between their current and the U.S. workplace. Building on that foundation, coaching tackles real-life (inter)cultural challenges your assignee may face during their assignment. With me by their side, your expat assignee can ...

work more effectively and efficiently

steer clear of cultural pitfalls and faux-pas

make quick and good decisions

integrate into the American team with ease

Imagine your expat assignee ...

… is working on a presentation to win over an American client—and I guide them through edits and tweaks until it hits all the right notes.

… needs to address underperformance with an American team member—and I help them craft just the right words to get their message across American style.

… wonders if their usual meeting style will work at the U.S. office—and gets my expert take on it.

Coaching—is it really necessary? Glad you asked!

your expat assignee is new to the U.S. or encounters challenges with American (work) culture during their assignment.

address questions, concerns, and issues in both work and everyday life that arise from the many cultural differences between their home country and the U.S.

providing your expat assignee with real-time insights into American (work) culture, helping them make better decisions, achieve better results, and integrate more quickly. They’ll work more efficiently, with less stress, and greater confidence.

your assignee’s questions or challenges at work or in daily life stem from other factors—such as business-related or personal issues. In that case, another coach with the appropriate specialization may be helpful. However, it’s often underestimated how many challenges during an assignment are actually rooted in cultural differences. If you’re unsure, get my free assessment in a no-obligation intro call!
