Pre-onboarding

  • This session was really informative. It was valuable to bring locals and expats together, because the expat experience is complex and often invisible. Sharing our struggles and seeing others go through the same felt reassuring, and it helped locals understand challenges they might never notice. It was also fascinating to realise how differently we all experience life and work here, and how much of what we call ‘common sense’ is actually cultural.

  • The programme is very well structured, and the tools Helena provides enable deep, transformative work on any challenges one may be facing. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking clarity on their next steps, wanting to identify their blocks, and move forward with greater ease and confidence.

  • The session was super cool, the presentation and the presenter were stunning 🔥🔥 I loved starting by sharing our concerns anonymously in the middle of the room; it instantly showed why we were all there. The countries chosen based on who attended were spot-on, and the examples were so relatable. The conversations we had, especially with our mentors, were incredibly valuable.

  • The experience so far has combine multiple of my core values. I'm really enjoying it and I know that I will miss it once we come to the end. I truly enjoy talking to you and how you challenge me to be honest with myself and also how you support me with this journey.

  • I loved the dynamic of the session. It reminded me that none of us are alone in this expat experience. The way concepts like time perception were explained was so clear and accurate, it really showed how cultural differences can create misunderstandings. I also appreciated having a safe space to express doubts and receive feedback. Sometimes, simply saying things out loud already helps.
