Positive Expatriation
International assignments offer incomparable opportunities for growth, excitement as well as adventure, and in addition are ultimately key to personal and business success. At the same time living and working abroad is typically one of the most challenging and stressful events in a lifetime. Often expectations either of individuals or of companies are not met.
Positive Expatriation brings together these two sides of a coin by turning challenges into chances. It stands for successful international assignments that are fulfilling for individuals and are bringing the best outcome for companies.
Positive Expatriation is for everyone. We have created a new and innovative approach which can easily be learned and applied from every organization and individual!
International assignments are a very complex matter, and many factors influence their success. In the end, the expat makes the difference. This is why Positive Expatriation addresses expatriations in a new and more personal, encompassing, and encouraging way as ever before. We meet expatriates and their families where they are. Positive Expatriation revolutionizes success and life abroad by strengthening wellbeing, resilience, and mindset.

“Positive Expatriation made all the difference when it came to our expatriate employees’ experience abroad. The feedback was beyond expectation, and we are glad to have happy, resilient, and confident staff working around the world now.”
“Positive Expatriation taught me how to live my expat life to the fullest. I am now able to charge my battery myself because I am aware of many tools that reveal the positive sides of an expatriation. I must admit that I did not recognize the beauty of expat life before I met Positive Expatriation. Thanks for opening up a new world to me.”
“…from now on our expatriate experience not only supports moving boxes or filing their taxes. We, as a company, also make sure that we successfully move their heart and mind. We are very happy that Positive Expatriation is teaching our expatriates the necessary skills for thriving and not only surviving abroad.”

Making Expatriates Thrive Abroad
Positive Expatriation’s purpose is making international assignments a better and more successful place! Which individual and company wouldn’t buy into expatriations that feel better and are at the same time more successful!? International assignments
- in which negative emotions are balanced by opening the eyes for the potential of positive emotions?
- in which expats are thriving instead of only surviving?
- in which the expatriate’s resilience helps to recover quickly from downsides abroad?
- that benefit from a growth mindset, that prevents from giving up and helps to develop confidence and a positive attitude toward learning?
- where global mobility departments are aware of their expats’ wellbeing, resilience and growth mindset and give expat partner and families the support that makes a difference to them?
This is exactly how Positive Expatriation feels!
