In France , the premature return of expatriate mission reaches 30 to 50% and 1/3 of the expatriates leave the company within 2 years following their return : the culture shock for the executive and his spouse or her husband is often underestimated .
Example of individual coaching support during expatriation or impatriation :
individual coaching sessions before departure (8 within 2 months) and upon arrival (8 sessions over 8 months ), on the following topics:
career / motivations / emotions and resistance / intention / values / vision
new professional project that is part of a project life
style of management / communication / intercultural competencies
cycle of the intercultural experience
regulation of the stress inherent to intercultural transition
phases of adaptation to the new environment and stress regulation
Beyond professional skills, being expatriated has meant for me, before all , an inner identity journey to explore the shores of the Bosphorus and along the Huang Pu . From Shanghai to Istanbul, I have understood the challenges of leadership posture and have interacted with teams from different cultural orientations. I've also discovered and implemented new competencies : coaching , training, expressive arts and relaxation techniques. These new horizons have nourished my practice of global coaching.
My professional history of 20 years in the Promodès Carrefour group has enabled me to alternate the management of teams in hypermarket ,in Shanghai and Istanbul, as store manager and as purchase director. And this 11 years abroad carreer path (8 years in Shanghai and 3 years in Istanbul) was , beyond the richness of the professional experience , the opportunity to refine my flexibility in various multi- cultural and professional contexts.
