Your Ambitions Need Action

That is YANA!

Are you an international looking for a professional who can relate to you?One who not only is qualified, but who also understands the fire of your ambition and who can easily imagine what it took to get you to where you are today?

One who is able to help you come up with a strategy that fits who you are as an individual with your unique reality of living and working as ‘a person who came from elsewhere’?

Don’t suffer in silence.
Reach out and let me help put you firmly in the driving seat of your international experience.
Take charge. Shape it. Be in control.

Living and working in another country or community with a different language and habits, norms and values, and an unknown environment will bring you different needs.

Not only are you facing the challenges that everyone else is facing, but you also carry an extra burden of unique challenges that specifically relate to your background of ‘coming from elsewhere.’

This position can feel incredibly overwhelming and stressful, and it may even cause you to miss important opportunities.

When you look for help, you might find that the available personal and professional services that may be sufficient for locals may not be sufficient for you. As someone from elsewhere, you need access to specialised providers who understand the unique challenges you face, and who offer tailored assistance to help you tackle your specific personal and professional development goals.

I arrived to Netherlands one month ago and I felt really lost. Elizabeth helped with exactly what I needed! She helps me not only to make a plan about my the job research, but also to understand what I want! Thank you so much! I found on her a perfect professional and a wonderful person!

Elizabeth is super results driven and she goes the extra mile to help you to face your issues and resolve them. I was also impressed at how much network and resources she has and how she included them in her work with me.

Very friendly and great coach! I really much enjoyed the job coaching sessions with Elizabeth. Her positive attitude, supporting words and resources she shared with me, motivated me and I enjoyed every session with her. If you are looking for a new job or starting your own business, she has tips for you.

The best thing about working with Elizabeth as a coach is that she really hears what your need is. Mentally, emotionally, and practically. I also felt that she really understood me as a migrant and was able to help me find my place in a new country and culture. I started working with Elizabeth before I moved to the Netherlands. She helped me then online and we had sessions every time I was in the country for other businesses. Once I finally moved, I contacted her once again with the request to help me effectively settle in as fast and as painlessly as possible. And before I knew it, she had helped me to get my first employment! What is more, it is a proper and professional job!

Full disclosure, Elizabeth is my life partner. I am leaving a review because I want to share with you all how much I admire her dedication to helping improve the life of her coachees and training participants. I have seen her spend hours reading books, taking classes and contributing to all sorts of organizations and projects in this area. It is also very interesting how she herself does what she preaches. What I mean is that she has actually taken the time to figure out what it is she is really good at doing, what truly gives her joy and happiness and what it is she REALLY wants to do with her life. Now I see how this also keeps her happy and motivated as a person, and the role it plays in keeping our relationship happy too. I would recommend her any day to anyone who wants to give themselves a chance to be happy and fulfilled both at work and in their private life. Because yes, Your Ambitions Need Action. And that is YANA!

Elizabeth's energy is unmatched and her coaching sessions are mind blowing. When I attended one of her sessions in October 2022, I was challenged as an international student in the Netherlands to think beyond just my master's degree.
