From the outside, your expat life looks enviable...
A good job, friends across continents, an adventurous lifestyle. On paper you've got it all. But on the inside, it doesn't always feel that way.
A part of you doesn't feel fulfilled in your job, relationships or location, you experience a lack of direction or you often find yourself prioritising work or others over your personal well-being.
You're tired of spending so much mental energy on your next step, always feel that your mind is 'on', and are not sure if you can trust what you feel.
You long for clarity, direction and peace of mind, but overthinking isn't bringing the solution and you're not sure how to break free.
Well, you are not alone
I totally get what you feel, because I used to be like you too. Moreover, I've also coached over 150 expats who found themselves in the same position. Everyone had a unique story, but they all struggled with feeling steadier & more fulfilled in their global lives.
Until they - and I - started to get to know their authentic selves. Discover what else was there beyond the busy brain and the daily noise. Take into account our emotions, thoughts & patterns that were always there impacting us & our decisions, but that we weren't aware of.
With great results - my coachees feel more confident, lighter, trustful of the process, calmer, more fulfilled and back in the driver's seat of their life as they explored their inner world. And after seeing that transformation dozens & dozens of times, I realised:
Having a strong inner GPS is the secret to creating a global life you feel truly happy in, wherever you go
Living life from the inside out, not the other way around. Find the solidity within, so you can make authentic decisions and take aligned action.
Don't just take my word for it - here's how my coaching has transformed the lives of other high-achieving expats
"I thought the set-up of The Co-Pilot was great. In a few weeks' time, we managed to address several different topics through a variety of exercises.
Through Amanda's guidance and experience, I believe we all had individual moments of clarity regarding our futures, relationships, careers, and so on. I was a big fan of the visualisation exercises, which gave me a set of calmness and energy at the same time!"
Lieselotte Pellens
What is The Co-Pilot?
My 8-week group programme will take you through powerful coaching tools to strengthen your inner GPS, so that you can experience more fulfillment, ease & direction in your expat life without the overthinking you've come to rely on.
In a small, intimate group I will teach you how to find new perspectives and lead yourself, in a steady, authentic way.
I've collected the most popular & most effective, proven coaching tools that I've used with the 150+ expats that I coached, and bundled them in The Co-Pilot. Using typical expat questions, I will guide you through these tools (and more), so that you have a menu of methods to apply and to lead yourself also beyond the programme. By strengthening your inner GPS, you can make aligned changes on the outside.
And maybe even the best part...
You won't go through it alone. Now, I get you - you like to do things on your own. But after having facilitated 25+ group sessions and events, take it from me that you'll find real understanding, support & relief from being in a group of like-minded people who are facing the same challenges as you!
Reconnect. Repack. Reroute.
In The Co-Pilot I'll help you tie together your past, present & future, so that you'll stop living in the past or future only. Using powerful exercises you'll learn what you've been bringing along as you hop from country to country and see what serves you and what not. So that you can be more intentional with your actions and choices, find direction and create a life you feel good in right now. Learnings you can take with you no matter where you go!
What you'll master in The Co-Pilot
Mindset
"Is it the country or is it me?"
Rewriting your subconscious interpretation of the world around you
Who's on your inner team
"What am I bringing along?"
Accepting all parts of you & changing the autopilot
Emotions
"How can I trust if this feeling is real?"
Accessing your emotions, trusting them & using them to your advantage
Making decisions
"Is it time to settle? What do I even want?"
Decision-making from your authentic core & overcoming obstacles
Relating to others
"How do I feel less guilty for leaving? How can I ask for support?"
Feeling into our place in relation to others
Your next steps
"I'm stuck, so how do I get there?"
Materializing your next steps with confidence
"My 1:1 coaching with Amanda was very enriching. Every session brought a bit of enlightenment until I reached my goal.
I started my journey with worries and uncertainty and now at the end my perspective changed.
No matter in which country I am, I have everything in myself to always make myself feel at home and achieve my goals 😊"

And there is more...
If you join this cohort, you will also get immediate access to my online course Expat Life School. This extensive course (€299 value) is all about setting up your best expat life so you can start thriving abroad. Combining personal development with practical tips from my own experience of 8+ years abroad, Expat Life School is for both the beginner and the serial expat.
And you'll get access right away so you can get started before we kick off with The Co-Pilot!
Who The Co-Pilot is for
The Co-Pilot is for the expat, international professional or global player who's got an enviable life on the outside, but doesn't feel completely fulfilled or happy in it.
You tell yourself you've got nothing to complain about, yet you find yourself overthinking more often than you'd like. You keep going back and forth in the same thinking loop and you're tired of spending so much mental energy on your next career step, relationship, location or other life choices. A part of you feels restless and questions your decisions, and you long for more peace of mind and being able to trust the process.
It's not like you're lost - you've got your life in order, but more relaxation as you balance your ambitions, personal life, social circles back home & abroad (and the guilt that comes with it) would be welcome.
This 8-week program is all about living life from the inside out: meaning that we will explore your inner world and start making changes from there. It's a personal growth journey, not an expat life quick fix.
You are therefore a right fit for The Co-Pilot if you're open, coachable and willing to get to know yourself better - including the parts you may have pushed aside.
"Life can only be understood backwards but it must be lived forwards"
Hi, I'm Amanda
Life coach for high-achieving expats & global players. Former diplomat. Forever globetrotter.
With over 8 years abroad in London, Brazil, Argentina & Ecuador I know what it's like to move around, start over and mostly: to rely on yourself. And as an ambitious professional and diplomat I also had a full life and was often stuck in my head, overthinking it all.
Everything changed when I got real on my personal growth, strengthened that inner GPS and made changes from there. I'm happier and calmer than ever, even when I still roam the world. My two 9-month coaching trainings solidified my personal experience into professional expertise.
Now as a life coach I've helped over 150 expats live happier, more fulfilling lives. And I can't wait to work with you too!
Lisette, expat in the US
"I loved working with Amanda. She immediately made me feel comfortable and understood, which made it very easy for me to open up. Our sessions have brought me a lot of clarity in terms of my underlying beliefs, and have set in motion some very fundamental shifts in how I think, feel and behave. I know this will really help me to handle whatever else may come my way."
Andrew, expat in Europe
"I especially appreciated how you could help me look deeper and uncover what is really driving certain actions or feelings, beyond the superficial reason."
Jessica, expat in Europe
"As someone who felt "stuck" in my job and life in London after years on the move, the changes that I wanted to make felt overwhelming and unreachable. Amanda carefully balanced deep listening and practical exercises. I was able to make small but hugely impactful steps within a short space of time. I'm now moving to Paris and to find more balance there between work, friends, and creative pursuits, and I'm hugely excited about what's to come."
Why expats joined The Co-Pilot before
-
Should I stay or should I go? Feeling stuck in their next big decision
-
Wanting more clarity on what they feel towards their career & the host country
-
Longing for more peace of mind and different ways to make decisions
-
Tired of figuring out everything on their own and not feeling understood
-
Wanting to balance where they live & where they're from, more
-
Desiring to be able to enjoy where they are, instead of constantly overthinking
I'll give you the toolbox
And you'll implement the right tools for you. The Co-Pilot is like a taster menu of different coaching methods & approaches, so you can experiment with new ways of thinking, being and feeling - while getting deeper insights about yourself at the same time. What the tools all share: you can use them anytime, anywhere. You'll be better equipped to handle whatever life brings you, also after the program - because I want you to generate lasting changes beyond The Co-Pilot.

Here's what's possible for your in your expat life once you have a strong inner GPS
✅ You’ll FEEL what it the best decision instead of needing to KNOW what’s right
✅ The next time your mom is trying to send you on a guilt trip for not being home, you can simply going on with your day instead of let it mess up your head
✅ You start your day with peace of mind instead of instant anxiety, because you’re no longer overthinking every possible scenario and can understand what's really bugging you
✅ You can trust that things will fall into place for you, even when you don’t have that next job or location secured
✅ You allow yourself to go for that job, that relationship, that country, confidently!, also when the alternative is perhaps (rationally) the safer bet.
✅ Your relationships will get deeper, stronger and less burdened (because you’re speaking from the authentic you and can find different resources of support)

When are the group sessions?The group sessions will take place on: - Monday 16 October - Wednesday 8 November - Wednesday 13 December - Wednesday 10 January 2024 - Monday 5 February 2024 All at 20.00 CET
-
What are the group sessions like?The group sessions are the place & time for you to grow, open up, connect with others and realise you are all going through the same process. So what are they like? They're going to be a mix of me going a bit deeper on some of the course topics (plus time for any questions you may have about them), an exercise and/or visualisation, hot seat coaching, and each will have Q&A time (for any of your questions on personal development or expat life). You'll be able to post your questions in the online community in advance, so even if you can't make the session, your question will still be answered. All the sessions (and bonuses) are recorded and you will receive a replay afterwards. These are the dates of the group sessions: - Monday 16 October - Wednesday 8 November - Wednesday 13 December - Wednesday 10 January 2024 - Monday 5 February 2024 All at 20.00 CET
-
Can you tell me more about the online community?Absolutely. When I lived abroad, I felt like my inner circle back home didn't really understand me. We were often going through the same things, but for me there was an additional complex layer of being abroad at play, something they never had to deal with. I missed connecting with like-minded people who instantly knew what I meant when I spoke about my expat struggles. That's why I decided to create an online community around the course. A safe space for you to share not only about the course content, but also about other aspects of your life abroad. Your struggles, celebrations, questions. It's a place for you to feel welcome and to connect with like-minded, globetrotting souls across the world. The online community will be hosted in a special Instagram account. I'll join in on the conversations and share extra tips and inspiration around the course topics there. Can't wait to connect!
-
For how long will I have access to the course?For a year! So you can do it entirely at your own pace and go back to certain videos as much as you want.
-
I would love to join, but I don't have time nowThat's ok, you'll have access to the course for a year! The video content is available whenever you want to start. Besides, as I know that expats run a busy life, the videos are short & concise - ideal for you to watch (or listen to) during lunch, on the plane or while you're on your way to work. The community period will last for 4 months and if you can't join the group sessions, no worries: you'll get a replay of every session.
-
I'm not an expat, can I still join?Absolutely! This course is made for expats and all other types of globetrotters who want to start working on their personal development. Even if you don't live abroad but like to travel and hang out with international people, you are very welcome. The course content is valuable to anyone ready to create a thriving life.
-
I'm a man - can I join?Yes! The group is gender diverse.
-
How do I know if the course is a right fit for me?You're never really sure if a course is the right match beforehand. If my words here resonate with you, I think you can trust your intuition. And did you know you have a guarantee of getting your money back if you really don't like the course? So you've got nothing left to loose, really!
-
Will you give the course another time?Yes - but not in this format! I'm turning Expat Life School into an evergreen course so I can focus on materialising other ideas, starting early 2024. You will be able to purchase Expat Life School as a video course and get access to the nearly 40 videos, but it won't come with group sessions, a private community and extra support/content throughout the 4 months. So if you want to experience Expat Life School fully... Sign up now!
-
What is the price?€499.
-
Can I continue working with you after the coaching journey?Yes, you can! I offer a 'frequent flyer pass' with 3 additional sessions, and the Next Level ticket for those who want to go further together with a small group.
