Intercultural Coaching: Working with Spouses of Heads of Missions and Spouses of Expatriates.

Groups such as the Spouses of Heads of Mission (SOHOM) in Trinidad and Tobago and globally are an important source of support, camaraderie, professional and personal exchanges for spouses who (in many instances) have given up their professional careers to accompany their spouse and family to live and work in an entirely new culture. As an intercultural consultant, I have been able to see the challenges that international relocation presents to spouses and partners, including functioning in a foreign language environment, having to figure out where to get groceries, specialty items, household items, access medical care, find and settle into a new home and face all the challenges that come with relocating your family and belongings, finding suitable schools for children and the list goes on.

Spouses and partners are expected to slide into a new role of full time homemaker – often after years of working in a professional capacity. Working as an intercultural consultant with the expat or assignee (person being transferred to another country for work) and their spouses and children helps ease their transition and helps them to achieve success in the personal and professional aspects of their new role. Spouses and partners are usually the ones to experience the overwhelm first because the assignee usually 'hits the ground running' and is often consumed by the new role and familiarising themselves with their new colleagues, roles and responsibilities. This can result in the spouse feeling overwhelmed and left to figure out how to manage the household and the remaining responsibilities. 

An intercultural consultant can help smooth the transition into a new culture and help you to create a plan for success in your new location. Connect with us at www.rmclanguages.com for more information.
