OBJECTIVE

Facilitating the audience through intercultural competencies, Coaching tools and Emotional Intelligence instruments to approach their life in Italy in an open minded and successful manner.

BACKGROUND

Our experience is highly influenced by our perspective and the emotions our thoughts provoke in us. Starting over in a new country can be challenging at times: Cultural differences, language barriers, the threat of the new unknown, insecurity of the future. Family routines are being challenged while facing a completely new job environment: the pressure on the individual can be enormous.

Italy has often gained a special place in our heart, sometimes because we have spent time on vacation here, sometimes it’s just a dream put together from pieces of movies or books… Moving here can be challenging at times, especially if reality doesn’t confirm our romantic vision of the country.

This tailor-made workshop will help you understand your emotions and the message these carry when facing cultural differences. A higher awareness of personal stumble blocks and the ability to “surf” the emotional waves, as well as a better understanding of Italian culture will help you approach this challenge with ease.
