- Time mastery techniques
- Cross-cultural smarts
- Care for yourself and your family
Hand off the mental load to Adapt & Succeed, so that you can elevate and enjoy your time IN TRANSIT.
It's something to move internationally as an adult, but as a family is a totally different thing. While there is a lot of logistical planning to be done, I discovered through Anna that emotional readiness is just as important. I remember how her words resonated through some tough times, like the words of a wise sister who has done it all before.
Far from being superior, Anna has a way of telling it like it is whilst wrapping you up in a blanket to tell you everything will be ok. And you know what, with her advice, it was indeed ok.

Hi, I'm Anna
Living means being in transition. Babies become toddlers, then children, teens and adults. We transition from school to work. From single to partner, to parenthood, from child to carer of our parents, from independent & employed to dependent accompanying spouse. We transition through peri-menopause. We learn to adjust to our “empty nest”, to find purpose after employment… the list goes on.
Unfortunately we are conditioned to “be strong”, “be independent”, to “figure it out on my own” because accepting help (let alone asking for it!) is seen as weakness. But as a species humans we are meant to learn from and to support each other (how else would we have survived this long?).
This program sets you up to transition well, to develop tools and strategies to adapt and succeed – according to your definition – with me by your side. I will support you in transit and then help you step out on your own confidently and calmly, knowing you are powerful and strong – on your way to creating what is waiting for you.
Will you invite me on your journey?
Don’t You And Your Loved Ones Deserve A Transition That’s As Predictable And Frustration-Free As Possible?

Emma is 30 years old. She’s preparing to take a leave of absence from her job to join her husband on his expat assignment. It sounds romantic and adventurous but she’s feeling anxious about missing her friends and her work. She has concerns about being left behind in the workplace and she’s worried about adapting to the local culture once she arrives. There are so many unknowns that she doesn’t even know what questions to ask.
Let’s prepare for this, Emma!
With the Adapt & Succeed program combined with one:1 coaching Emma can prepare for her time abroad more deeply than with most corporate training programs. Once she has landed, the program will help her adjust quickly and adapt well. She will have the confidence and tools to make friends locally and build connections to last a lifetime while finding her purpose for going – besides following her partner.

Josy is 33 and a mom of two. She was happy to take a break from her job to go abroad with her husband. She is super organized and spent months preparing for the move. She virtually visited schools before their exploratory trip, chosen a house, registered with the local hospitals and reached out to the wife of a colleague – all before the family left home.
They landed a few months ago and after some rough patches everyone has settled into their new routines. Her husband is busy but thriving at work, the kids have made first friends, love riding the school bus and even discovered new activities to try out at school. It’s weird and wonderful to have household help and their helper cooks the best local food.
Now that the dust has settled she has a lot of time on her hands. If she’s honest with herself she’s feeling lost and lonely. She misses the satisfaction of her work and being busy with the kids in the afternoons. She feels unfulfilled and lacks purpose. She misses her friends, the convenience of speaking the local language and knowing how things work.
Back home, everyone thinks her life sounds glamorous and full of adventure. After the time spent preparing and all the excitement she can’t admit that it isn’t all she hoped for. She feels stuck (and a little bit resentful).
I totally get it – but there’s a way out. With the Adapt & Succeed program combined with one:1 coaching Josy can settle in better and build connections (locally and globally) to last a lifetime while finding her purpose for going – besides following her partner and giving the kids a great experience. The time spent focussing on herself will be so worth it!

Maya is a 41 year old stay-at-home mom and accompanying spouse. Her children are 13, 10, and 7 and were all born in different countries. She’s been an expat for a long time and feels pretty comfortable with her busy life. But this year, some thoughts keep popping up that she usually tries to brush away: Is this the best life for our children or are we messing them up? What will I do with all my time when they don’t need me so much anymore? When was our last date night? There must be more to life than this…
Let’s answer those questions, Maya!
By combining coaching sessions with Adapt & Succeed Maya can learn to show up for herself again. She can find purpose beyond being a mother & spouse and the whole family will benefit.

Rosa is 53 years old. Her children have flown the nest. She lives abroad with her husband and was looking forward to this time together enormously. She works part-time, takes long walks with the dog and enjoys nights out with her partner. But she doesn’t feel fulfilled (but doesn’t want to admit it, since she encouraged her husband to take the assignment), she misses her children and worries about being so far away from her aging parents.
Let’s deal with those worries and learn to love the adventure, Rosa!
Adapt & Succeed complemented by individual video coaching sessions will help Rosa reduce the worries and address them one-by-one so she can truly love the global mobility adventure she is on.

Sara is preparing for her family’s return to their “home” country after many years abroad. She doesn’t want to go because she has heard how difficult repatriation can be and loathes giving up her expat life.

This is me. A 46 year old Global Mobility Trainer with a lifetime of experience as an expat. I’m the accompanying partner to a globally mobile engineer and mom to three reasonably well-adjusted Third Culture Kids. Despite the moves, we still feel close to family and friends spread across the globe. Building connections and family ties while being physically apart takes effort but it’s worth it. Just like taking care of yourself and maintaining “you” amidst all the change and transitions.
I’ve been reduced to tears because of what would have been minor issues “at home”, have experienced the thrill of “getting” a cultural reference in a new place and have held my heartbroken children after saying goodbye to friends moving away. I get it.
To help you reduce feelings of overwhelm and really love your expat adventure I offer a program called Adapt & Succeed developed specifically for expats. It helps you identify your needs and find joy & purpose while maintaining connections to loved ones wherever you are – in the world and on your expat adventure.
