Now I’m settled, what about my career?
How do I find a job? What is my purpose in (expat) life? How do I find inspiration and satisfaction during my life in Holland? What are my drives, beliefs, needs and priorities? How do I deal with loneliness and feeling homesick?
Since first arriving in The Netherlands, things have been more difficult that you expected. As a partner to an expat it is more than likely that you have been faced with lots of every-day challenges. You have survived the ups and downs of settling in and you can be proud that you finally know your way around and your daily life has at last begun to feel normal. It is about now that another important question comes up:
WHAT ABOUT MY CAREER and MY PURPOSE IN (EXPAT) LIFE?
As an accompanying partner, you are dealing with a lot of changes in many areas of your life. Perhaps you feel you have lost your professional identity, something that is very important to you. Until now, your profession was perhaps a huge part of your purpose in life and consumed much of your time and energy.
You are not alone.With the help of a professional career coach you will find your identity again. It is worth the investment in time and money.
What holds you back to do what you want to do?
Core beliefs (or limiting or restrictive beliefs) are the very essence of how we see ourselves, other people, the world, and the future. Core beliefs develop over time, usually from childhood and through the experience of significant life events or particular life circumstances. Core beliefs are strongly-held, rigid, and inflexible beliefs that are maintained by the tendency to focus on information that supports the belief and ignoring evidence that contradicts it.
How to transform your limiting beliefs into positive ones? Expats@Work follows a 3-step program:
Self-Awareness – Identify your limiting beliefs.
Visualization – Where do I want to go? What we believe is what we create.
Transformation – How to transfer limiting beliefs into positive ones?
