Expatriate training gives tools for managing one's own self, interacting cordially with locals, managing supervisor-subordinate relationships skilfully, being effective in meetings and negotiating with confidence.
It also eases the geophysical and social adjustment of expatriates and families.
Cost Benefits of Expatriate Training
An expatriate's early return home or low performance due to assignment management skill mismatch is the costliest failure - training could prevent this. The total annual cost of an assignment is rarely less than €300,000.

GO-HOW EXPATRIATE COACHING
The methodology of the training workshops is based on experiential learning and consists of problem solving (critical incidents) simulation activities, discussions and experiments.
The themes progress from perception to behaviour and then on to communication and management.
