Expat Career & Personal Branding Coach: Helping expats build careers and be more visible, sought after and successful abroad
About Megan Fitzgerald
I'm an expat career and personal branding coach and your trusted guide through the ever-changing maze of international careers. I love helping expats become highly visible, sought-after experts and leaders and land fulfilling work abroad.
These expat professionals and entrepreneurs are future oriented, innovative thinkers committed to their own professional growth and success. They want to attract opportunities that fit them and their global lifestyle and be recognized and compensated for the value they create.
A one-stop-shop for international career management, I love helping these expats dig deep to unearth the unique attributes and strengths that drive their success. We craft powerful tools and customize strategies to market their differentiating value and help them stand out in a crowded global marketplace. Using their innate qualities, skills and expertise as a blue print, we build careers and businesses that give them the life and work they dreamed of overseas.
With 19+ years working in professional and business development in 40+ countries, I've helped hundreds of expats grow and build careers and businesses abroad just as I've done for myself. I have certifications in career and executive coaching, personal branding and online identity and have been featured in Fortune, CNNMoney, WSJ and many expat and career publications.
My clients work for organizations like Oracle, Cisco, Microsoft, Johnson & Johnson, embassies & the United Nations. Their results:
• Secured jobs in new countries & new industries
• Secured promotions & 30+% salary increases
• Recognized for growth as leaders
• Became pioneers in their field for discoveries or work
• Built portable businesses, websites & blogs with industry following
• Built or expanded global network & client base
• Published and/or featured in major media & industry publications & websites
When not at work you'll find me planning my next trip, reading about innovation or having a caffè macchiato to start my day.
