managing the gap

Traditional expatriate training usually doesn't  support you throughout the entire life of your assignment abroad. Often times, support is only in the beginning and if you're lucky, in the end.

But what about the GAP in between, the most critical time, when assignments are most likely to fail, work productivity drops and satisfaction decreases?
Caterpillar Spirit manages this GAP and provides you with support before, during and after your time living and working abroad.

Our unique online Culture Coach™ Guides offer you the support, information and resources you need exactly at this time - when you need it most, where ever you are in the world.

frequently asked questions

How do I get started?
After purchasing a coaching program, you will receive an e-mail confirmation with a link to set up your online coaching account to access your customized coaching program. You are now ready to start your program.

What's included in the Culture Coach Guides?
Every Culture Coach™ Guide has a different topic. As such, they are all designed a little bit different, but you can expect to find things like this:
  1. Key information about the topic
  2. Strategies and tips for taking action and making a change, including articles, worksheets and exercises
  3. An interactive online Q&A dialogue with your coach

How long does it take for me to complete a Culture Coach™ Guide?
Every one learns at a different pace, but our experience has shown us that each Guide takes between 60-90 minutes to complete. The interactive online Q&A dialogue with your coach takes the time necessary to answer your questions.

How does the interactive online Q&A work?

After submitting your answers to your coach, an online dialogue exchange begins between you and your coach. This provides for guided thinking and a generation of new perspectives. The living Q&A also provokes reflective thinking about the module content and suggestions on how to act on a given problem you have.

How long do I have access to the Culture Coach™ Guides: Expatriation & Repatriation?
You have access to each program for 3-months. 

I'm not quite ready to start just yet, but I'm interested.
