Become a thriving international
Are you an international living abroad? A new country often brings about new challenges; learning a new language, adapting to a new culture and finding your way, while having your safety-net in another country, can be challenging.
Coaching is for internationals, who seek guidance with:
✔︎ Identifying and achieving their goals
✔︎ Finding their purpose
✔︎ Coping with anxiety, loneliness or homesickness, caused by relocation
✔︎ Coping with the physical & emotional distance between where you currently live and the other place you call "home".
Coaching by Life Coach Ria van Doorn.
