Helping leaders and families to work and live in China.
Are you facing relocation to China?
Failure is not an option, yet 30 to 50 percent of expats leave China early - often at a cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars to their companies. Modern leadership principles have developed in the West where business practices are vastly different from those in China. Leadership success requires world class performance. But move to where the culture is as foreign as the language, and what level of performance will be required of you then?
An international assignment is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
What if you and your family -
... knew what to expect?
... leveraged your talent with years of experience in China?
... became adept in foreign culture (didn't languish as strangers)
... could relocate your talent without the trauma of starting from zero?
... had solutions to the typical problems when you arrived?
... were coached through the critical initial months?
... transitioned in months, not years?
... performed better abroad than at home?
Success at home does not extrapolate to success overseas.
An expatriate assignment is an expression of confidence in your talent and adaptability. International assignments are given to executives selected for promotion to the senior level. The downside is that these assignments happen in an environment vastly different from where you have previously experienced success. Dramatic changes in language, culture, family relationships - even eating and sleeping - can catapult the difficult job of leadership to a level that is simply out of reach. Yet, proven success in international leadership sets both individuals and companies apart.
The world needs cross cultural leaders.
Everywhere, people have the same needs. But in different cultures people meet their needs in different ways. Learn about the 'new you' in the context of a different place, without losing the 'essential you' in the transition. Stay true to the fundamental principles (deeper than culture) that ensure leadership success. Successfully juggle personal and family life as you adapt to the same issues off the job. That's cross cultural leadership.
You CAN write your own international success story.
My name is Ed Britton. I have lived and lead in China for over 6 years. My job is to coach you for success in your international assignment.
I take the shock out of culture shock.
I invite you to reduce your risk, your stress, your pain - and to do your family a big favor, too.
Turning what can feel like a bad mistake into a life changing experience for you and your family starts with asking for my free 'Twelve Incredibly Useful Tips for Surviving your Move to China.' - a list of the dozen most useful pointers - any one can make or break your China experience.
I will also send you, again for free, my foundational report, 'Take the Shock Out of Culture Shock.' This report contains the core principles that build success in China. It's the important, basic information you need for transitioning to leadership in the Far East. Everything else builds on it. I study and live these principles everyday, and it's a distillation of the best I've learned in over half a dozen years.
And more - you will also receive my monthly newletter, 'ChinaCoach,' that contains the most current stuff of living and leading in China. (I feel like I'm giving away everything I know for free!).
Well, I can't do better than that.
And I don't think you can, either.
