Here's what clients say

Erin Ratay

"Having attended two of Deborah's Sharing Circle's, I can say that I would not hesitate to recommend Deborah as an essential source of help, support, and guidance for expats navigating their new life in a new country. Deborah brings not only life-long personal experience, but also a depth of knowledge, understanding, and deep caring to each person's experience. Wouldn't hesitate to work with her again in the future!"

Mark & Shelly J.

We are around 70 years old and are contemplating moving to a new country for the first time. We found the course ‘How to Prepare for your Scouting Trip’ informative, inspiring and useful. We appreciated the worksheets Deborah had prepared, and the questions she posed really helped us to focus on what we wanted to obtain from our scouting trip. We found Deborah’s presentations to be pleasant, positive, engaging and clear.

Mary B.

This program was above and beyond what I'd expected. The specifity of the videos was very welcomed and I can hardly wait to get started on my preparations!

Gustavo Genú

"Deborah is a great expat coach and I recommend participating in her workshop! As an expat myself, I wish I had met Deborah a year before moving to Portugal, she helped me figure out some issues I never thought about it. Great content for expats!"

Chris Ratay

Deborah is a great facilitator and is passionate about her work. My wife and I attended her sessions and found them very rewarding. Her experience and coaching style come together seamlessly, making for fun and impactful sessions. I recommend you check them out for yourself - you'll be glad you did.

Alex Pollard

I found group workshop sessions with Deborah really useful. Her relaxed approach and obviously experienced skill in managing the groups was reassuring and her English is fluent. I got a lot out of the two groups I attended - insights that have stayed with me and made settling in a lot easier than it might have been

Expat Coach

Deborah Dahab

I am an expat coach and intercultural psychologist. Also, a seasoned expat, I have lived, studied, and worked in 5 different countries on 3 continents. My own experience, coupled with my observation of other people’s experiences, motivated me to search for answers as to why we sometimes fail when moving to a new culture, and more importantly how to increase the chances of success. This quest led me to pursue a Master’s in Intercultural Psychology and complete a coaching certification at ICC (International Coaching Community). I am also a certified trainer and NLP Practitioner. With these tools in hand, I help expats and expats-to-be so they can overcome the challenges of moving and create their best life abroad.
