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 to places most don’t go. In deciding to leave your country, you’ve given up the comforts of home. This is what allows you to have new experiences, meet new people, see amazing new places, eat new foods and have wonderful stories to tell about your interesting life.

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. There is also a language barrier and a new set of rules you have to adapt to when you decide to integrate into a new culture.

Even as a long term expat, the changing economic and job climate in Switzerland can be very challenging to navigate. If you are at a point where you are changing careers or looking for new opportunities, you might find yourself submitting endless resumes and getting no responses for an interview.

Adapting to Life in Switzerland can be Challenging, yet very Rewarding.

Without an understanding of the Swiss business culture, you may also find yourself stuck in a position where there is no possibility of growth, promotion or personal development.
Without an understanding of Swiss culture, you will have a hard time understanding people, making friends, and finding a feeling of belonging. Simple tasks in your daily life may become very complicated and you might feel alone, lost, and overwhelmed.

This can leave you feeling...

The key is understanding how things are actually done in Switzerland, how to adapt to Swiss culture and how to present yourself in a way that businesses and new potential employers will respond to.

As an expat myself, I had to figure this out all on my own, I know what you're going through

I know how you feel and the challenges you are facing. I had to find a way to integrate myself into Swiss culture, make adjustments to my mindset and find my place here without any help, guidance, or anyone to teach me an effective integration process.

I became a Certified Professional Coach and trainer with several internationally recognized certifications. I have over 13+ years’ experience in working with different cultures in training and consulting, and 7 years of career coaching expertise in various cultures since I came to Switzerland. I have served hundreds of expats and professionals from many countries and different cultures adjust and adapt to life in Switzerland.

One very important thing I learned during my own personal integration process here in Switzerland is that how you present yourself to companies is very important. Even though you might be fully qualified for the job and your CV has all the requirements, the way you present yourself can make or break your hiring process.

As a highly sought-after career and cultural integration coach, it is my mission to help you find your confidence, present yourself in a way that will get you more job interviews and above all else, find your sense of home here in Switzerland.
