As an Expat Life Coach I truly understand what it is like to be 'displaced' and have to 'replace' my sense of self in a new location. I have moved 19 times and lived in, visited or worked in 26 countries over a 22 year period.
I was born in New Zealand and made Australia my home of choice many years ago even though I do not live there now. Our three children however do, so I know one day I will begin the repatriation challenges many expats face when they decide to stop their gypsy ways!
Sometime during the end of the last century, I trained as a teacher and have taught, trained and facilitated for over 20 years. Whilst living in Malaysia I gained a Masters in Social Science and then became a Certified Professional Coach during my next move to Houston. My passions include singing in a band, traveling (go figure!), yoga, the great outdoors, lifelong learning and really getting to know my fellow human beings.
I truly understand every level of challenge that expats face. My memory continuum includes managing 40 people at a College of Education, followed by a stint in Asia where I stood paralyzed with fear at a local Chinese Market because I lost sight of my husband and had absolutely no idea which way home was! Where had my tough managerial image and sense of self gone? My confidence needed a boost so I studied, immersed, talked to people and worked as a global communications coordinator for an expatriate spouse support organization helping 7000 spouses in 120 global locations get more in tune with who and where they were. This all led to my coaching training and the development of the 'Rising above a life interrupted' Expat Coaching Program.
Expat living can be and is an awesome experience - but it can also be challenging and terrifying even when you think you are living in a culture similar to your own. Imagine starting the journey with someone who really knows how you are feeling and can help you move towards your life goals wherever you are!
