Mentoring & expatriation

International mobility implies change, separation, discovery and adaptation. In this process, it is important to exchange: share one's enthusiasms, comfront ideas, questions and doubts. Some may do so with their colleagues & friends. Some may benefit from the support of a coach, a trainer or an expert. A third way is to find support from a peer-mentor who is ready to share his experience, provide support and guidance. 

Within the framework  of international mobility, mentoring is a solution taht is suitable to a variety of situations. Within the company, a mentor may act as a facilitator, not only regarding the adaptation to the new job and new environment, but also concerning the relations with the Head quarters and career management. Out of the company, mentoring can facilitate mobility and the discovery of a new life in the host country. It can be a way to support an individual in his job search or on his business start up project. It can also be suitable for a manager on his discovery journey of new cultural codes and management parctices in his company. 

The mentoring project

We are launching an initiative in order to promote mentoring among members of Dualexpat. If you want to participate to this initiative, be it as a mentor or as a mentee, please simply join our mentoring group or send us an e-mail

According to your needs and suggestions, we are likely to launch several mentoring programs on specific themes. 

Partnership with EPWN

The first of these programs is organized together with EPWN - European Professional Women Network, a professional network of women managaers and entrepreneurs in Europe. It is part of an effort by EPWN to extend to Asia the range of opportunities for it's members  (EPWN goes Asia). It merely consists in connecting women entrepreneurs or future entrepreneurs in France with like minded entrepreneurs in Asia, in order to share experience and provide mutual support on developping projects in Asia. This program is open to Dualexpat members.
