Living abroad or planning to move overseas?
Then it’s time to give your life all the attention it deserves. Because no one ever said living abroad was easy. Adapting to life abroad – the rules, the norms, the customs, the values – can be an invigorating and dizzying experience. But alongside all that glorious newness – the excitement, the possibilities, the opportunities – comes a whole set of challenges. As you experience wave upon wave of change and a new reality dawns, you press on regardless, doing your best to cope.
In Sink Then Swim, trusted coach, mentor and trainer Sue Schoormans guides you – the expat, the immigrant, the international student, the asylum seeker, the refugee, the international traveller – through some of life’s most stressful situations. And with over 20 years of living overseas, a master’s degree in International HR and globalisation, and an ill-health journey that moves, inspires and changed her life forever, Sue Schoormans is perfectly placed to help you live your best life abroad. Through real-life stories, practical tips, ‘swimming lessons’ and ‘ripples of laughter’, you’ll be inspired to navigate the emotions and challenges presented by the death of a relative, divorce and separation, ill-health and finding a job. Become the successful leader of your life abroad – no matter where you’re from or where you’ve surfaced. You can and will survive life’s most stressful situations when living abroad. Knowing that first you sink and then you swim.
