Leading globally and working across time zones and cultures require both inter-cultural dexterity and country-specific knowledge.
As a bilingual and bicultural dual citizen of France and the US with business experience in multiple countries, Manuelle Charbonneau has a track record of working with global executives, top managers and teams to help them:
Our coaching is informed by our executive inter-cultural studies and our own international experience. An expatriate as a child and an immigrant to the US, Dr. Charbonneau has lived or worked in over 27 countries.
For expatriates in the French/Euro-North American space
We have coached numerous French/Euro and American expatriates coming to or returning from North America to accelerate their adaptation and success. We have also coached entire global teams and divisions.
In addition to the leader's professional transition, we approach international assignments from a whole person and whole family perspective if needed. Spousal and children difficulties are the #1 cause of failed expatriate assignments.
Most expatriates (and their families) underestimate the hard work and culture shock involved in returning to their home country from an expatriate assignment. We coach on preparing far in advance, often a year ahead, for a successful return. We focus on rebuilding and maintaining effective and relevant networks in your home country, clarifying and articulating your renewed value proposition, and negotiating new positions that are aligned with your values, increased capabilities and lifestyle preferences.
