CAREER COACHING
I am currently offering one-on-one coaching session specials for those who are in career transition. **Also valid for non-expats!**
- Are you currently in a situation of career transition?
- Do you have the courage to step back in the driver’s seat and take control of your career?
- Are you ready to find out what your strengths are and how best to use them?
- Is this the right time for you to pursue the dreams you had put off?
- Are you willing and able to make an investment in your future?
- Do you need someone to hold you accountable and help you reach your goals?
30 minutes per week on the phone with me are guaranteed to help you
- clarify your vision
- uncover hidden obstacles, and
- define concrete action steps to reach your goal.
I work with people who want to find out where their time goes to help them employ it better, procrastinate less, and get more done.
Clients who hire me will always remember how to formulate realistic goals and how to reach them.
What you will receive is personalized, confidential, professional coaching support. You will set the agenda for our meetings, I will serve as your mirror, your advocate, your independent sounding board. You will see your self-awareness grow and learn to apply change management tools that are yours to keep and re-use in the future.
If you’re anything like me, you’re thinking: “Well, I can get this information from a book!” So, let’s be honest: how much have you spent last year in shelf-help? Because that’s where the book ends up, on the shelf, right?
My support and motivation will not gather dust, but challenge you to be better.
Sign up today and you’ll receive four 30-minute conversations, over the phone, internet, or in person within one month for only $400. Depending on your goal, we may work together for more than four sessions. Depending on your time-frame, we may work together intensively during one single week. Email me at doris@buildingthelifeyouwant.com and let me know your requirements.
Tell me why you are ready to be my client, what your motivation is, and how you envision the coaching process via email to doris@buildingthelifeyouwant.com. I will respond within 24 hours. Bonus: The first 25 senders will receive the up-to-date “Starting your own business” guide I prepared while starting my own coaching practice, containing tips, resources, and a “how to” write you business plan for free – that’s a $39 value!
Sign up and reserve your space by sending an email to doris@buildingthelifeyouwant.com. Remember, the first 25 senders will receive a free “Starting your own business” guide in their Inbox within 24 hours, theirs to keep.

Life Coaching
Many people in our culture are looking to shift from a mindset of having to a mindset of being. They find themselves restless and unfulfilled, despite their successful careers, flourishing social circle, comfortable lifestyle and doing everything “right.” To facilitate looking at where the unease is rooted, instead of merely polishing the symptoms, it may be helpful to look at which beliefs and assumptions they base their behavior and emotional responses on.
Our beliefs and values, like our culture, are what we grew up with; they’re the rules to the games we know how to play. When going through a life transition like a change in relationship status, moving to a new country on an international assignment, or your children leaving to go to college, you may find that those rules have been changed on you, and suddenly your usual behavior doesn’t yield the desired results anymore. The beliefs you grew up with that made sense all this time somehow do not apply to your new surroundings, leaving you feeling ineffective and frustrated, not quite able to pinpoint what’s wrong. What, for example, if you live according to the belief that “time is money,” and find that you’re more tired than usual, spending less and less time with your family, having difficulty concentrating? Your work ethic may be admired in certain circles, but is it getting in the way of your living a balanced, healthy life?
Clients who hire me
- Clients who hire me want to get to know themselves to understand their motivations and emotions better. By gaining a deeper understanding of themselves they positively influence their relationships one step at a time.
- I work with people who want to know where their time goes to help them use it more efficiently, procrastinate less, and get more done while creating more opportunity for relaxation.
- Clients work with me to develop their own definition of happiness, and to learn tools how to choose it on a daily basis.
- People I work with will always remember how to formulate realistic goals and which steps to take to reach them.
- Many people hire me as their accountability partner and idea sounding board, because they appreciate an independent, unbiased and confidential opinion.
- There was a time when I felt resentful about my husband’s expat assignment, spending many months unhappy and confused. Not knowing who I was meant to be had me to questioning my sense of self, my purpose, and caused tension in my marriage. I enjoy sharing with fellow expat spouses the possible strategies how to overcome that struggle and open up and make the most of the many different opportunities international life offers.
Life Coaching won’t tell you to let go of your beliefs, but it can support you in finding new ways to approaching that new situation, making a change for the better. If that sounds like something you’d like me to accompany you in, please contact me at doris(at)buildingthelifeyouwant(dot)com. And because it’s my birthday today, I would like to make us both a gift, and say that you get to name my fee.
Yes, that’s right, you have many things on your plate so you decide which fee will hold your attention enough to take our work together seriously.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
With love and gratitude, Dee xx
