Founder of Global Career Support

A word from me

Having relocated to the Netherlands over 20 years ago, I gained a profound understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities that come with such a transition. This inspired me to support both internationals on similar journeys and organizations working with them.

 

I developed the Holistic Intercultural Life Mastery Approach (HILMA-model)® for internationals, combining cultural and intercultural insights with effective career strategies.


For organizations, I tailored a range of methods that help bring out the best in their international workforce, ultimately saving them invaluable time and resources.


When I'm not working, you can find me travelling somewhere in the world, reading something I find intriguing, immersed in yet another K-drama, or hanging out with my international group of friends. My curiosity keeps me grounded and connected to the adventurous spirit that led me to launch Global Career Support in the first place.

My Method ®

I crafted the Holistic Intercultural Life Mastery Approach (HILMA-model), a dynamic model combining personal growth facets—mental strength, beliefs, emotions—with the unique challenges internationals face, such as cultural identity and navigating between various cultures.

  • EN Hilma Model .png

    Holistic Intercultural Life Mastery Approach (HILMA-model) ® is a refined method I developed through years of working closely with internationals. This approach uniquely blends intercultural insights with career development strategies, focusing on the full spectrum of personal and professional challenges expatriates face. By integrating tailored coaching techniques and cultural adaptation skills, the HILMA-model ® equips clients to master their international careers and personal lives, ensuring they thrive in diverse global environments.

My motto:

"Progress not perfection.

Start where you are now,

with what you have."

Client Success Stories

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.

Emily Edepi

Elizabeth's coaching was a game-changer. Besides securing me a professional job in the Netherlands, her enthusiastic and insightful guidance made my whole move and professioanl transition smooth as well as quite rewarding.

Peter Ndung'u

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.
