Ultimate Italy: Total Expat Coaching

Many people come to live and work in Italy each year, either as the spouse of an employee sent on assignment or to fulfill a lifelong dream of living here. In either case, the transition is not always without its challenges. These can range from being overcome with moments of being powerless and disconnected, issues in finding suitable and rewarding employment, general culture shock, or intense feelings of being lonely and feeling sorry for oneself.

Expatriate coaching provides a unique opportunity to step outside your comfort zone and experience, through the changing of certain behaviors and patterns, the new environment in which you find yourself. Relocating to a new country can be challenging, and cultural differences can cause a lot of headaches and frustrations; however, once they are explored and understood, new opportunities and positive life experiences emerge. I am very familiar with the expatriate world, having lived and worked in four different countries. For this reason, I have developed an expatriate coaching program that I call Ultimate Italy—Total Expat Coaching.

During Ultimate Italy—Total Expat Coaching, we will focus on:

• Working on understanding cultural differences and how to work with them effectively.
• Clarifying one’s goals within the context of your life, business, or career in Italy.
• Exploring new perspectives and opportunities.
• Unblocking stuck emotions facilitates growth and well-being.
• Eliminating negative thinking, patterns, and behaviors

How does Ultimate Italy—Total Expat Coaching work?

a). It starts with an initial one-hour session. This is where you and I work together to determine exactly what you want your life in Italy to be like and how you can specifically achieve these goals and objectives. This session is carried out online via Teams. Additional individual sessions can also be booked at my standard fee should you feel that you need extra support outside of the pre-scheduled appointments.

b). Following this initial call, you will be entitled to four online sessions (60, 45, or 30 minutes) a month with me. These calls will be an opportunity to discuss any blocks you may be experiencing, and I will provide you with all the necessary encouragement, support, and knowledge you will need in order to keep on track until you reach the goals and objectives you are pursuing in Italy.

c). I will also be in contact with you by email during the coaching period, suggesting contacts and resources as well as effective strategies that will help you stay motivated and focused while creating your new life in Italy.

Through expatriate coaching, you will see how your world can change if you change yourself. You will be required to change your perspectives, challenge your limitations, and be encouraged to let go of your fears and doubts, but it will all be worth it as you see your life blossom in the new destination! Simply put, if you are feeling tested, then the coaching is working.

Pre-Arrival Strategy Session (60 Minutes)

Relocating to Italy is a big decision; therefore, it is imperative that you have access to certain information before you move. The reason for this is that it helps you to balance expectations with reality, it allows you to procure certain documents that you will need when you arrive in Italy, and it allows you to understand better compliance, the housing market, and other important issues like the cost of living.

The Pre-Arrival Strategy Session is a 60-minute power session in which I will personally guide you through the most important aspects of relocating to Italy. The session will also allow you to ask key questions related to your move.

Topics Include:

• Case-specific immigration and compliance overview.
• Introduction to the main aspects of life in Italy.
• Explore employment and business opportunities.

How the Session Works:

• A pre-session questionnaire will need to be filled out so I can better understand your goals and objectives.
• The session is done online and will be coordinated in advance.
• You are entitled to three days of email assistance following the session.
