If you love adventures and have enough time and energy, you can explore corporate culture and everyday life in Germany on your own.
However, if you wish for an individual local companion to help you meet the professional and private challenges of your life in Germany, I’ll be there for you.
As an Expat Coach I will help you understand what is important to us here in Germany in the private and the professional sector, and how we Germans tick.
This will give you orientation and confidence, and you will have no problem getting your bearings at work and in private. You will notice that you win recognition with colleagues and superiors, and you will fulfil your role successfully.

How does your organization benefit from coaching for your international employees?
You will benefit from a faster, more successful integration of your foreign employee in the team and in their role. With the help of my coaching, they will understand the cultural rules by which their work environment functions, and what expectations they have to fulfil. This will enable your new employee to settle in their role faster and better, and to develop to their best potential for the benefit of your organization. For this, they will be held in esteem by superiors, colleagues, and business partners. This success will boost their motivation and positive feelings for their new workplace.
Are you looking for coaching that is flexible in terms of time and location?
You are welcome to use my online offer in order to benefit from the coaching also on business trips.
In that case, the coaching session will take place via video-conferencing that you can dial into, using a mobile device, from wherever you happen to be.
Participant testimonial
We started the coaching with my objective ‘to obtain a clear overview of my life and a clear perspective for my future’. I can see clearly now: From this moment on, I wish to consciously feel, experience, shape and enjoy my life in Germany and in China; in my office and at home in Germany. Thanks, Kerstin!
