Executive Coaching
Many executives work across cultures and lead multicultural teams. Our executive coaching helps them develop their intercultural leadership competences. We assess their strengths and pitfalls in doing business across cultures, support them with setting the developmental objectives and help them become more effective in doing international business and leading culturally diverse teams by offering new perspectives and encouraging new behavioral patterns.

Expatriate Coaching
Expatriates and their families face various challenges in different stages of expatriation; from pre-departure phase at home, honeymoon, culture shock and adjustment phases in a new country to reverse culture shock phase after returning to their home country. Expatriate coaching helps expatriates normalize and make sense of their expat challenges and take charge of both their professional and personal lives.

Life coaching
Our coaching is not limited to work-related topics. We work with whatever the topics clients may have at this moment in their lives. We are, after all, the same persons at work and in private. And if you are stuck somewhere in your personal life, it will show up in your work as well. We offer special tariffs for private clients.
Alignment Coaching for Intercultural Conflicts
It can happen that business partners from different cultural backgrounds find themselves in a complex conflict situation and they seem not be able to resolve it by themselves. We help the clients in such a situation with Alignment Coaching. It helps the people involved in conflicts become more in alignment with each other by defining their common objectives. When the business partners find their common objectives and are willing to resolve conflicts together without blaming each other, they are likely to be able to resolve the conflicts.

Multicultural (Virtual) Team Coaching
We all work and produce results in relationship with others and often in teams. High performing teams are the motors of an organization. And more and more teams are culturally diverse, virtual and project-based. It is essential for all of us to be able to work effectively in multicultural teams upfront.
Multicultural Teams are potentially more creative, innovative and produce better solutions for complex problems than mono-cultural teams do as they can use all the diverse perspectives in the teams. But they can realize their full potential only when conscious and intentional efforts are made in the forming, storming and norming process in the beginning.
Multicultural (Virtual) Team Coaching facilitates and accelerates this team development process. We work with the necessary ingredients of a high performing team such as psychological safety, clear shared goals and objectives, clear roles and responsibilities of team leaders and members and trust building among team members.
Coaching will help the clients make culturally sensitive implicit (unconscious) expectations explicit (conscious). It helps them become more aware of the impact of their “good” intentions on team members from various cultural backgrounds. Building on this awareness, client teams will align different expectations and design Culturally Sensitive Team Agreements that work for all the members. During the coaching process, teams will regularly revisit Team Agreements and work on the various challenges of teamwork as they emerge.
