It’s another Monday, and instead of starting your laptop to go through another day of meetings (that could have been an email), you look at the globe you got from your grandmother as a kid. You have been sitting at this desk for too long and wish to smell the spices in a market in Amritsar, walk through the East Village of New York City, sit in a rickshaw in Lahore, or take a long hike in Northern Italy. Isn’t that why you originally wanted to be in your profession?

• You always felt like you were born in the wrong country, as if your soul belonged elsewhere. However, you were delighted and inspired when travelling.
• You always felt more connected to the broader world than your home village.
• You dream of being a nomad, joining the minimalistic lifestyle, and living in a tiny house while doing good in the world. Thinking about moving “back home” would feel like a complete failure.
• You would like to continue deepening your knowledge of other cultures and work in a global context where you usually speak English. 
• Deep down inside you know that you could dream more prominent and that you are flying below your potential.

You are looking for an Expat Coach who believes in you, cheers you on and supports you while working on your next transition and career goals.

Look no further. We’ve got you covered.

The Global Rockstars

Global Rockstars — high-achieving expat leaders and professionals—navigate complex careers that demand adaptability, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Yet, despite their dedication, many feel undervalued. They work hard, often exceeding expectations, but the recognition they deserve remains elusive. Their contributions are significant, yet they find themselves overlooked, stuck in roles that no longer inspire or fulfill them.

This growing dissatisfaction leaves them questioning their path. Once passionate about their work, they now feel an urgent need for change—whether in their careers, leadership approach, or personal lives. The sense of purpose that once fueled them has faded, replaced by frustration and restlessness. They crave transformation but aren’t sure where to begin or how to navigate the next step with confidence.

Compounding this is the relentless pressure they face. Balancing leadership responsibilities, cross-cultural challenges, and the demands of a global career, they are constantly on the edge of burnout. The stress of delivering results, managing transitions, and maintaining a personal life feels unsustainable. They know they need to find a better way, but time, energy, and clarity are in short supply.

At their core, they want to feel valued, fulfilled, and in control of their journey. They seek not just career success, but a life that aligns with their ambitions and well-being. Our work helps them regain clarity, build resilience, and create a leadership style that is both impactful and sustainable—so they can step into the recognition, fulfillment, and balance they truly deserve.

The Global Rockstar Album

In this interview on the Global TV Talk Show with Edwin Cohen, Angie Weinberger, Founder and Managing Director of Global People Transitions, discussed the core themes of her book, The Global Rockstar Album: 21 Verses to Find Your Tact as an Inclusive Leader. The book focuses on inclusive leadership, psychological safety, and supporting individuals navigating life transitions, particularly in global mobility.

What Is Inclusive Leadership?

Inclusive leadership challenges traditional biases in leadership and management, advocating for equal access to opportunities. It aims to dismantle the systems that have historically excluded individuals based on gender, race, abilities, or mental health. Angie defines inclusive leadership as the ability to redefine the mental image of a leader—not as a “superhero” but as someone who values diversity and collaboration. This shift is essential as the demographics of global mobility continue to evolve.

Support Mental Well-being with Expat Coaching

Expat coaching is essential for promoting psychological safety and mental well-being for expats and their families. Too often, the needs of an expat’s spouse or partner are overlooked, which can lead to dissatisfaction and, in some cases, assignment failure. Angie advocates for systemic changes in global mobility policies prioritising family support, such as coaching or helplines, over logistical considerations like tax support or household goods relocation.

Embrace Diversity through Rainbow Talent

Angela Weinberger introduces the “Rainbow Talent” concept to encompass diverse groups, including introverts and LGBTQ+ individuals, often underrepresented in global mobility policies. Addressing their specific challenges can help organizations foster an inclusive environment and ensure the success of international assignments.

Why Psychological Safety Matters

Psychological safety forms the foundation of inclusive leadership. It ensures that team members feel secure in voicing opinions, sharing challenges, and raising concerns without fear of reprisal. This sense of belonging and acceptance is crucial for expats as it reduces anxiety and enhances stability during uncertain times. Angie emphasizes that organizations must recognize these needs to maintain a motivated, resilient global workforce.

Address Stress and Provide Support for Global Mobility

Relocating internationally is often ranked among the top ten most stressful life events. Even individuals who adapt well to their new environment face significant psychological adjustments—learning new cultures, navigating societal norms, and balancing personal and professional changes. Angie advocates for proactive support systems that help expats manage these stressors more effectively.

Expat Coaching: A Crucial Tool

Expat coaching is a vital resource to help manage the stresses associated with international assignments. Coaches guide expats in making informed career decisions, such as selecting their next assignment location or exploring new opportunities. This personalized support benefits the individuals and improves the success of international assignments for organizations.

Overcome Systemic Challenges in HR and Global Mobility

A major barrier to effective global mobility management is the siloed nature of HR departments. Despite technological advancements, many leaders still rely on outdated tools like Excel spreadsheets to manage assignments. Angie envisions a more streamlined process, where comprehensive platforms integrate assignment management and vendor coordination to reduce transactional workloads and improve the expat experience.

Empower Expatriates and Redefine HR Roles

Angie advocates for empowering expatriates to take charge of their career development. By working with career coaches, expats can make strategic decisions that align with their professional goals. Furthermore, Angie suggests elevating the role of Global Mobility Managers. These professionals, often undervalued and under-compensated, should receive higher compensation and more strategic responsibilities, potentially reporting directly to executive leadership to enhance their impact.

Angie Weinberger also mentions the elusive “Holy Grail” of global mobility technology—a platform seamlessly integrating all aspects of international assignments. While current solutions fall short, she is optimistic about the future. She anticipates the emergence of platforms that will revolutionize global mobility management, making tasks more efficient, better supporting expats, and ultimately enhancing the expatriate experience.

Angie Weinberger’s insights shed light on the complexities of global mobility and the need for inclusive leadership and robust support systems. By prioritizing expat coaching, embracing diversity through initiatives like Rainbow Talent, and advocating for the evolution of HR roles and tools, organizations can significantly improve the international assignment experience. These efforts will benefit the individuals involved and drive organizational success in a globalized world.
