Adelina Stefan - Senior Expat Career Coach in Switzerland | ICF Certified MCC Coach

As an Expat, You Have The Spirit of an Explorer.


You like having new experiences, seeing the world through a new set of eyes, and going places most don’t go. In deciding to leave your country, you’ve given up the comforts of home to embrace the extraordinary.

However, on the other side of the fun comes a sense of loneliness, a feeling of being lost, and a feeling of not being at "home." You are far away from your friends, family, and a place where you felt like you belonged as part of a community.

"Whether you're a long-term resident or a Swiss citizen, navigating Switzerland's changing economic climate, the rise of AI, and an increasingly competitive job market can be challenging. You might find yourself submitting countless CVs and receiving little to no response."

I had a wonderful experience working with Adelina during my Partner Support Program. Her support went far beyond career coaching — she gave me valuable advice not only on how to develop my professional path in Switzerland, but also on how to integrate into life here more generally.

What I especially appreciated was how practical and concrete her guidance was. She made the process of registering as self-employed absolutely clear and helped me understand exactly what I needed to do to kick-start my career in Switzerland. Her advice gave me much more clarity and confidence about my next steps.

At the same time, Adelina is incredibly warm and easy to talk to. As a wonderful mother herself, she also shared many useful insights about children, family life, and settling into a new country with a family. I really valued being able to discuss both professional and personal aspects of this transition with her.

Adelina combines professionalism, genuine care, and real-life experience, and I am very grateful for her support and would highly recommend her as a coach.

I had the wonderful experience of a photoshoot with Advanced Talent, it was a pleasant experience, full of conversation about what I want to reflect in my profile picture. Adelina found the perfect words and Adrian made the best photos: they mirror my current personal and professional development very well, and I can recognizeme thererein! ✨📸⚖️🔨

Clarity sounds simple, but it isn't: it's the right balance of critical and constructive challenge, without becoming an echo chamber. It's about resolving the cognitive dissonance between societal expectations and rewards, and what we've actually learned fulfills us.

My sessions with Adelina gave me clarity and courage: clarity on my end goals, courage to believe I could succeed on a non-canonical path. I've now embarked on two things I've always wanted to try but kept postponing. I've joined a startup and created my first jewelry collection. The idea had been brewing for over a year and would have remained daydreams. Adelina's structures and processes gave me the confidence that even in the Swiss job market, taking this leap would be seen as a positive, coherent move in a career narrative: not a risk to fear. I took the leap and couldn't be happier with how much I'm learning and growing! I'd highly recommend Adelina's clarity call and programs if you're in a similar position.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Adelina after being made redundant, and I cannot recommend her services highly enough. From our very first session, she was incredibly supportive and insightful. She took the time to understand my unique strengths and experiences, and she helped me see how to leverage these qualities in my job search.

Her guidance was instrumental in rebuilding my confidence and in crafting a compelling resume and LinkedIn profile. She provided practical advice on networking and interview techniques, which were crucial in landing my new job.

What truly sets Adelina apart is her ability to highlight your potential and make you believe in it. Her personalized approach and genuine care for her clients' success make her an exceptional career coach.

If you're looking for someone to help you navigate your career transition, look no further than Adelina.

PS: Adelina also created a fantastic deck of coaching cards that I had the opportunity to use during an off-site team meeting. These cards are an amazing tool for self-reflection and team-building, and they added tremendous value to our sessions.
