Have you ever taken a job in a new location and, after a few months, started asking yourself if you had made the right choice? Maybe something felt "off". Or maybe you just didn't feel like you "fit in". 

If you have, then this episode may prove to be helpful for you. Audrey will be modeling how a life coach might approach this question with a client.  Even if you haven't experienced this kind of feeling during a transition, you may be curious to know what life coaching is like. If that's you, then check out this episode!

This episode kicks off a new series for us that centers on Transitions Coaching for International Educators. We have selected some realistic transition difficulties that could be – and have been – experienced by educators in the international school space. We want to emphasize that these are unscripted sessions where David is doing his best to represent real educators experiencing realistic situations related to transitions and Audrey is delivering the in-the-moment life coaching that could help to address the issues involved. Please be gentle with us as we seek to demonstrate the power of life coaching for those faced with a transition from a comfortable, known school-city-country-culture to a new and unfamiliar one. Whether you are currently experiencing your first transition or your umpteenth, we hope these episodes will be helpful – and that they may even prompt you to seek transitions coaching for yourself!
