For German executives in the United States. You are expected to deliver exceptional performance in an unfamiliar cultural environment while rebuilding your personal life. That pushes even the strongest personalities to their limits.
Does this sound familiar?
You give clear feedback and your American colleagues withdraw, or respond with a friendliness after which nothing changes.
Your expertise isn't valued as highly as it was in Germany.
Your partner struggles to connect socially, or is frustrated with a career on hold.
You feel torn between the expectations of German headquarters and American realities.
You lie awake at night over decisions that used to come easily.
Your initial optimism is giving way to growing frustration.
What no one told you before your assignment
Whether your time in the US succeeds depends less on your technical expertise than on whether you can stay inwardly stable while everything around you changes.
The usual answers — work harder, network more, learn the cultural dos and don'ts — only scratch the surface.
Cross-cultural trainings provide important basics but rarely address your individual situation.
Networking events offer temporary relief but no sustainable solution.
Traditional coaching often doesn't reach the deeper emotional patterns.
