Due to the personal and career risks expatriates take and the large investment at stake for the organization, foreign assignees deserve developmental experiences and supportive assistance to ensure success. Specialized global leadership coaching is helpful for expatriate managers and beneficial for their organizations.

Executive coaching with Revel Miller Consulting assists expatriate managers to quickly orient and adjust to their new foreign culture, focus effectively on strategic business objectives, and utilize appropriate cross-cultural business practices. Coaching is especially advantageous for "first-timers" with little or no international management experience. Expatriate coaching enhances a manager’s confidence while immersed in a confusing and ambiguous foreign work environment. This type of specialized coaching helps expats achieve business objectives whether they are placed on long or short-term assignments.

The Added Value of Expat Coaching

Managers on foreign assignments appreciate a unique, long distance and confidential coaching relationship in which they can:

	Discover their strengths and weaknesses
	Express their vulnerabilities and struggles
	Reflect on their learning experiences
	Generate new ideas and strategies
	Receive non-judgmental support
	Put experiences into realistic perspective
	Experiment with new behaviors

The value of expatriate managers and executives increases as they gain global perspective, regional and country-specific knowledge, intercultural skills and business savvy. They can repeatedly use their hard-earned experiences to make meaningful contributions to broader global efforts. A successful assignment can transform an expatriate manager into an effective global executive in charge of international operations.

Revel Miller Consulting provides expatriates with a useful and unique style of executive coaching throughout their full assignment cycle. Coaching is helpful with individuals and couples before accepting an international assignment to explore their personal and family "situational readiness". They can also use guidance immediately before departure to prepare for their relocation. And, most importantly, throughout the foreign assignment, coaching helps managers remain focused and flexible. Then, coaching after re-assignment helps expatriates prepare and adjust when they repatriate or relocate to their next foreign assignment.

Executive coaching for expatriates can make a critical difference in personal performance and create a competitive advantage in the global marketplace. For corporations, expatriate coaching helps maximize market position and protects international and human resource investments.
