Living abroad can be a daunting experience, filled with countless decisions and challenges.
The stress of relocation doesn't end with the physical move; it can continue to affect assignees and their families for months and sometimes years to come.
The Leap To Lead has designed a workshop series specifically for assignees and their partners to help navigate the complexities of life abroad and ensure a successful transition.
A series of live, interactive workshops led by an experienced transition and leadership coach, Emily Rogers. With over 20 years of international living experience and expertise in supporting assignee partners, Emily has the insights and tools to support your assignees and their partners to thrive abroad.
What You'll Get:
Live Workshops: Engage in live workshops every 2 months, with each session dedicated to a different topic relevant to families living abroad.
Varied Topics: Explore a range of subjects crucial to life abroad, including maintaining strong connections with loved ones, parenting strategies, nurturing partnerships, building new communities, defining your purpose, and dealing with overwhelm and stress.
Interactive Format: Each workshop is 30 minutes and features Q&A sessions throughout, allowing your assignees and their partners to actively participate and gain personalised insights.
Living abroad doesn't have to be overwhelming. These live workshops provide practical steps and strategies to help your assignees and their partner overcome challenges and make the most of their international experience.
