Feel at Home Coaching
for individuals
Feel at Home Coaching is for women who have settled or will settle in the
Netherlands, for either a short or longer period of time. Adapting to a new
country, its people and habits is quite demanding and it’s not uncommon to
be confronted by feelings of homesickness or loneliness. Colori D’Amore
helps women feel empowered and find happiness in their
new country. We listen and try to understand you and your deepest drives
and motivations, to get to what truly makes you happy.
Together we map out your personal motivations, feelings and sources of
inspiration, where you are in your life, and where you want to go now and in
the future.
Through a number of face-to-face sessions, we identify your interests and
needs and set concrete goals. We then help you to take the necessary steps
to make progress. You’ll gain the confidence that you will feel at home in the
Netherlands, and be able to develop yourself to your full potential here!
Feel at Home Program
for companies
More and more international companies are setting up operations in the Netherlands, or relocating their headquarters here. The number of expats is increasing, and many are couples and families posted here for a number of years. Research shows that one in four of these postings fail, with expats leaving the company early, within 12 months of being posted. The success of a posting depends in large part on the happiness of the family and in particular the partner, who is often a woman. A program aimed to support expat women can therefore help increase the success of a posting.
The Feel at Home Program is aimed at expatriate women, with the goal of feeling comfortable in their new home. We’re convinced that alongside practical tips on housing, schools and career options, emotional support also plays an essential role in making their stay in the Netherlands a success. Colori D’Amore offers women the attention they need to make the most of their time in the Netherlands, and so contribute to the stability of a posting and its success.
Colori D'Amore uses the following step-by-step plan:
- Offering a listening ear to find out what her concerns and needs are and what is really important to her (Inventory).
- Analysing together the feelings that arise as a consequence of the posting, including frustration, sadness or other obstacles, and act as a sounding board for these emotions (Analysis.)
- Getting to know the Dutch culture and local customs to improve her sense of independence and confidence (Knowledge transfer).
- Developing a concrete and tailor-made step-by-step plan that contributes to a full and fulfilling life in her new home (Plan of action)
- Helping her execute the step-by-step plan in order to gain the strength and confidence to achieve her goals (Execution plan).
- Examining together, over three sessions, what has been achieved and what can still be done (Evaluation and further steering).
In addition to this program, Colori D’Amore organizes get-togethers for women participating in the Feel at Home Program to give them the opportunity to exchange experiences and expand their social networks.
