Re-Imagine Your Life in Retirement
Supporting expats in creating a life in retirement they look forward to
Supporting expats in creating a life in retirement they look forward to
I'm happy to tell you that you have come to the right place!
The first step towards working with me is always a no-obligation, no-cost, 30-minute conversation.
Your life is yours to design: You've crafted a successful career journey - your retirement is no different. It is yours to imagine, and create.
You've been so careful with your financial planning, yet you've overlooked the life-planning aspect of retirement.
Together, we can take the stress out of what comes next.
During this structured 90-minute session we will look at all areas of your life to identify those causing the most anxiety as you approach the end of your expat career.
You will come away with a clear understanding of the areas in your life that need addressing.
This can be treated as a taster session on which we can build a longer programme, or a one-off to identify areas of concern for future action.

With worries about where you will live, what you will do, and where to begin discussions with those nearest and dearest are keeping you awake at night, we will take an in-depth look at all your options, your strengths, interests, opportunities and future activities.
Not yet talked to your family about your thoughts? This will help you understand what you want, before those all important discussions and negotiations.

I help long-term expats navigate the emotional and practical journey leading to retirement and potentially a return home. Supporting you in redefining your life after your global career through personalised coaching, to imagine, design and create a life in retirement to look forward to.
As an former expat of 35+ years, I understand the global lifestyle and the challenges involved in shaping a life in retirement, leaving the expat life behind. I know that with careful planning and a clear vision, anything is possible, given your resilience and experience. Sometimes, you need someone on your side, to see the possibilities for yourself.
All relationships begin with a no-obligation, no cost, 30-minute conversation about where you are, and where you are struggling.
We then determine the best way forward and begin with a structured initial call to identify key action areas.
All calls are on Zoom & my diary is flexible according to your timezone and availability.
My first job was in hotel representation, based in Sloane Square London. From there I moved to Anguilla where I spent 7 years as Assistant General Manager of a luxury boutique resort, responsible for the sales & marketing as well as operations. Moving to the USA for a short while and then onto Bangkok with Amari Hotels & Resorts as Marketing Manager & Director of PR Communications. Several years later onto Doha, Qatar and then Dubai for 13 happy years, with my own PR Consultancy. 35+ years as a working expat certainly gives me an insight into the lifestyle and challenges experienced in the expat travel, tourism & hospitality sectors. Now back in the UK, I have had my own travel marketing consultancy, but much prefer supporting expats in their return home and retirement journeys.
Having experienced an unplanned return to the UK due to a failed marriage - primarily caused by a lack of communication regarding expectations as we approached our own retirement, I am well aware of the pitfalls, challenges, and hurdles to be overcome as busy professionals hurtle towards retirement whilst ignoring the fact that it is going to happen, like it or not.
You might have experienced coaching and mentoring in your professional life, in leadership roles, but have no real concept of what benefits can be achieved through working with a personal coach.
Imagine being able to structure all those random thoughts in your head about the future; identify the activities that excite you, beyond your working life; realise all the fun you can have with the extra time, once you stop work. I can help you decide WHERE you want to live, WHAT you want to do and HOW you can achieve it. I am your sounding board, your thinking partner, your accountability buddy!
What is your future happiness worth? All it takes is a few hours of your time, spread over a couple of weeks, and the commitment to put some thought into your future life in retirement.
