Culture Shock Management
Moving to and integrating into a new country is exciting; it can also be scary. In short, it can be a bumpy emotional journey. Understanding the journey is an important part of managing your life abroad.
Sue fully appreciates the challenges that living abroad brings; she has lived in four countries and has experienced culture shock to varying degrees. She has subsequently designed a coaching programme enabling you to take charge of the challenges rather than letting them take charge of you!

- What is culture?

Repatriation
Returning to your homeland, just like moving abroad can be exciting and scary. You will likely be expecting that things are just as they were when you left - as if time stood still while you were away! The truth is often very different. You have changed and your family and friends have changed too. Recognising that you may experience reverse culture shock is an important part of preparing for and managing your life back home.
Sue fully appreciates the challenges that come with returning to your homeland; she has repatriated twice. She has subsequently designed a coaching programme that enables you to take charge of your repatriation rather than letting them take charge of you!
She offers a coaching programme comprising 4 x 90 minute sessions covering:
- Overview of Culture and Cultural Competencies
- Identifying My Strengths
- Capturing the Learning from Living Abroad
- Reverse Cultural Shock Signs & Symptoms
- Recognising my communication preferences and the preferences of others, (TetraMap - more here)
- My Repatriation Action Plan
