Testimonials Coaching/Talks
'I truly benefitted from Jeanne's Coaching. I was scared thinking about moving to a new culture. I found out what I really wanted and what I wanted to get out of my three years in the United States. Jeanne helped me to create a clear focus. The fear is gone, I now know what to do next and I look forward to my years in this new culture.'

' Jeanne walks the talk. She knows exactly what a life on the move is all about. I like her openness and non judgmental way. She gave me confidence and helped me to identify areas that I wish to improve in my life. I love the 'Art of Living Abroad Wheel'. It is simple and powerful and from now on I will take it with me, no matter where I relocate next. Thank you!'

'Jeanne is warm and truly understands the challenges and opportunities of living abroad. She helped us to find powerful solutions for our main concerns and worries of our new life in Basel, Switzerland. I finally stopped complaining and feeling like a victim and now have a clear vision for my life which takes a lot of stress away from the relationship to my partner. My anger is gone as I have clear objectives for my life. The telephone coaching worked well for us. We worked faster and enjoyed the flexibility. Jeanne did telephone coaching with us in the evening hours which worked perfectly for us'

Comment from WIN participant on Andrea Martins ‘www.expatwomen.com’ Website in April 2010:
Hey Vicki..how my heart went out to you reading your I'm Done story...I respect your honesty enormously and yes I have been right where you are presently at...a Mother of 3 lovely kids (who are now all very global adults given their unusual childhoods),and in my case a "trailing spouse" in the sense that we sometimes moved as a family,during my first marriage,with little consideration being given to mine or the children's needs.Now I'm not saying that that has been the case here at all with you obviously but my point is that it is vitally important that you too sense destiny/purpose in whatever moves your husband makes.It is very important that your own liveability needs are considered as well before the suitcases are packed and plane tickets bought.Therefore when the tough times come( and they will) it will be far less disempowering for you if you also feel a sense of "mission / purpose" wherever you find yourselves.We may be mums.We may be wives / partners but we are firstly ourselves with q unique persona,interests, talents and dreams..I suggest that when the kids are occupied you find a peaceful spot to sit yourself down with pen and paper in hand and you brainstorm some dreams /asprirations of your own.You will p'raps be amazed at what you scribe. I also highly recommend a fantastic book called "Living Your Best Life Abroad" By Jeanne A Heinzer. I met Jeanne and Heike Stengel her associate life coach partner at the WIN Conference in Prague last year which was a life changing experience for me.These two women are worth gold and you could well do to link into their homespun wisdom re expat living.You hang in there girl.....whether your are feeling it right now or not you are indeed leading an extraordinary life.Take care and know there are woman "out here" that truly do care...Kind Regards...Judy (A fellow Kiwi presently living in China)
