Intercultural coaching
Dialogues between cultures create new impulses leading to re-evaluation of one’s own perspective and lifestyle. It is in our interest that you should benefit from intercultural cooperation, both in your private life and in business.
You are planning to establish business contacts with partners in Germany?
In this case, we would recommend a course on specific features of life in Germany, which is conducted by our binational coaching team.

Are you planning to return to your native country after many years in Germany?
The returnees always say that going back to their homelands after many years in Germany is more difficult than the integration. They have to go through the process of reintegration in their old country in terms of business, private, social and cultural adjustment. Many years of adopting German customs has changed their worldview and thus probably caused estrangement from their own culture. The returnees need to try hard to be accepted in their old social enviroment. In addition, they may also be frustrated in their new business environment.
Possible content of individual or small group coaching:
- Looking back at the years spent abroad – facing and accepting the changes in one’s own value system
- Returning to a foreign land: What has changed in the home country?
- Challenges after the return
- Personal changes and personal development
- Plans about the future
