1/ Culture : Making your Move to France a SUCCESS

You’re looking to live and work in France

It is highly beneficial to undertake a cultural training for expatriates to help you become better acquainted with the French culture and lifestyle.

As your personal coach, I will help you to not only understand the French culture but give you precious insights into how to behave and communicate with the locals successfully.

Whether you are a novice or a seasoned expatriate, all coaching programs are tailored to your experience, the length of your stay and your own personal objectives.

Taking your family with you?

I have coaching programs that are suitable for the whole family. I will help you adapt to life in France… from making new French friends to registering in a new school to assisting with administrative red tape.

A program based on an proven Coaching model

The cultural orientation indicator profile is an integral part of every mobility program and I strongly recommend that you generate your profile with me, your coach, prior to undertaking the expatriate coaching program.

This will enable me to assess your cultural preferences and comfort zones in order to build a highly customized program.

This coaching program is based on reducing gaps which may exist between your habitual way of functioning in terms of behavior and communication style and those you may encounter in the French environment.

2 / Language and Culture : French language and France cultural daily essentials

In addition to learning about the French “art de vivre”, this program offers a language component. Learning any new language can activate the “fight, flight, or freeze” response.

As a neurolanguage coach and coachee, we will have regular brain-friendly coaching conversations that will help you to overcome these natural responses and allow you to progress in your language learning journey. In addition, as your language coach I recognize the fear and anxiety of speaking foreign languages and can expertly coach you through those landmines.

It is designed as a survival program that provides the rewarding experience of navigating the culture of France while conquering the French language.

Basic language skills are built within the context of the culture, increasing confidence in the handling of everyday life situations.
