Possibly one of the most enriching experiences for an employee is that of an ex-patriate assignment.

The ex-pat is able to bring his/her expertise to another part of the business and make significant impact while being immersed in a foreign business and social culture. However, as the ex-pat navigates through uncharted waters, the stresses of assimilating oneself (and sometimes one’s family) into a new context can be overwhelming and stressful.

As coaches we work with ex-pats to support them through the challenges of incredible change while helping them focus on the positive stories and intentions they wish to write for themselves during this incredible chapter in their lives. The benefit to the organization is an employee who is able to adapt more quickly and the intangible benefit of goodwill felt by the employee toward the organization for having provided the support mechanism of coaching.

Professional coaching is a great way to leverage your natural and developed talents to deliver your absolute best for your company. I highly recommend Sorbara Visser to work with your organization to drive strengths-based leadership.
