You are:
or….
I was born in Latin America and moved first to England and then to Belgium. I know what it feels to start a life in a country where you don’t speak the language and the culture is totally different from where you come from. I have been through the cultural shock twice, and I can relate with the struggles of finding yourself in a country is not yours.
We will go deep in the understanding of your culture and how it compares to the local culture. Next, we will analyse which parts of your culture and values can and cannot be adjusted in order to work more effectively with your colleagues. We will evaluate the impact of acquiring new habits and behaviours in your persona. Finally, I will help you to design a strategy in order to create a cultural alliance, so your colleagues learn to accept parts of your culture/values you are not willing to negotiate.
Through a coaching process you will be able to overcome the feelings of being powerless and disconnected. You will be able to manage cultural shock and stop feeling guilty. We will also discuss about your dreams and passions, so you can find a way to make them a reality.
Send me an email or give me a call. We will schedule your free consultation and I will send you the intake questionnaire, and the practical details of the coaching process.
A 30 minute introductory conversation over the phone about your goals and expectations of the process. We also discuss your priorities and how I approach executive and business coaching so you can evaluate how well it meets your needs.
During the first session we will do some exercises to understand your current situation, and to recognise where are gaps and/or imbalances that need to be tackled. After this exercise you will be able to set your priorities for the following sessions.
From the second session onward you take the driver seat, and decide what you specifically want to work on. I will help you go deeper in your exploration and search for answers. I work with you to develop a concrete list of tasks that you must accomplish to achieve your goals.
