Maria welcomes Expat and Culture Transition Coach Deborah Dahab to discuss her methodology to help expats deal with a move abroad with the awareness needed to create the smoothest cultural transition.

She explains how she helps people considering relocation outside of their home countries through her various expat coaching offerings.\

We also learn how Maria is seriously considering her own move and what people interested in expatriation should do when they are first thinking about a relocation to another country?

Deborah also explains how she left her corporate life as a marketing executive and decided to go back to school. She completed my Masters in Intercultural Psychology and with this knowledge she understood what happens beyond the practical side of moving.
