Soon after I got my master’s, I had a hunger for more. I wanted more challenges, more growth, and more adventure! I remembered my goals of exploring the world, and with my new-found confidence, I decided to move to London.
I came to London without a job (which seems very risky to me now, but for some reason did not back then…). Nonetheless, I had confidence in myself and was ready and excited about the new chapter of my life. The confidence paid off, and I soon secured my first job in the City of London in an international company.
The new environment felt uncomfortable at first; being in a foreign country, far from family and friends was challenging, but with the new mindset I had created, I didn’t let those challenges define, nor shape me, in any way. I soon managed to advance in my field (Learning & Development) and build a successful career.
I soon realised that other expats were having completely different experiences to me when settling into a new country. They were finding the transition extremely overwhelming and were facing a number of blocks to their success.
Having had such massive shifts in my mindset on my own journey and having completed my master’s thesis in coaching, I realised I wanted to be the person to help these professional expats. I mean, I understood them far better than anyone else; I was one!
