Coaching packages for expatriates in Amsterdam
Structured coaching packages that reflect the stage in your expat journey
Every person comes with their own, distinct personality, with their specific outlook on life, their overt and hidden motivations, and their very personal concept of what a good life looks like.
And the situation and desires of expatriates who feel disconnected far from home requires taking their personality and goals into account, in a structured, methodical approach.
Depending on the stage you are at in your journey of becoming an
Amsterdammer, I will provide you with the right coaching and mentoring package that
will help you in your current situation and allow you to reach a new
stage:
- Get a grip on the confusing situation and create initial calm and stability
- Identify and crack that one problem that keeps you from feeling connected
- Develop
a boundless vision of what you want your life in
Amsterdam to be like
Coaching is most effective in an environment that allows you to open your mind and focus on the task at hand.
Therefore, our coachings will take place in dedicated settings which allow you to become aware of your situation and take the right steps: In the park, next to the oven in a bakery... or out on the IJmeer!
Get a grip on the situation
This is coaching for expatriates – executives, experts, and their spouses – who have arrived in Amsterdam and who realize that life will not continue like it was, but who are struggling how to deal with the new situation.
Why are my expectations so different from reality? How come I feel disconnected? Where does this feeling of inferiority come from? How can I finally "arrive" in Amsterdam?
The goal of this coaching program is to make you aware of your new situation and take the most immediate steps to feel more at home. You will realize that you do not have all the options you had "at home", and you will learn about the world of new options that opens up for you. You will assess your own motivations and goals, and help you make decisions how to feel at ease with your new situation and bring calm into your life, and how to seize your new opportunities in Amsterdam.
We will take a walk in the park. Literally. In six coaching sessions, we will stroll through six of the most beautiful parks in Amsterdam, each framing the session content perfectly. You will learn to follow your instincts, explore your situation playfully, and, finally, make Amsterdam your own turf!
6 coachings in 6 months, 90 minutes each,
in 6 parks of Amsterdam
EUR 450 per session
Crack that one key problem
This is coaching for expatriates who are established and settled in Amsterdam, but do feel like they have not really arrived with their heart and soul just yet.
What keeps me from feeling "at home", and what does that term even mean, far from home? How can I take the first steps, and how can I take this to perfection?
This coaching program helps you identify a key ingredient that you need to feel at connected and at ease in Amsterdam. It also instills a sense of realism – home in Amsterdam will always have a different taste and smell than home at home. But there is this one thing you can do that will break barriers, build connections, and create a home away from home. Together, we will find out what this is, bring your recipe to become a fulfilled Amsterdammer to perfection, and munch on some delicious cookies along the way.
We will have long chats in the bakery. We might need to renounce our daily calories limits, and we will take six very deliberate steps to identify what helps you feel connected and at ease, and develop your approach to get there. And hopefully, while the oven warms you from the outside, the prospect of finally arriving makes you feel warm inside.

Develop your own boundless vision
This is coaching and visioning for expatriates who feel at home in Amsterdam and who want to explore and develop a clear vision for their future.
What do I want my life in Amsterdam to look like? How do I position myself against the latent question whether to return home, and when? Will I always remain floating between worlds, and how can I keep my bearings and enjoy this weightlessness?
This coaching program leverages proven methods such as brain writing, design thinking, and six thinking hats to build a concrete vision for your future life and create a plan how to become a captain of your own fate.
And we take this literally: We will go out on the Markermeer on a boat and spend a long evening talking and reflecting, and we will come back with your new north star and an encouraged determination to set sail and stay the course.
1 coaching in one evening, up to 5 hours,
