“Finding Home Within took me on a journey that I found so fruitful and I managed to work out why I was still struggling to repatriate. Instead of focusing on external factors, Wiebke took us through various steps to look at ways of finding home within. For me it was about acceptance as well as connecting to community more, and I immediately took active steps to do this. The group, with its love and knowledge of various cultures and in various stages of the expat/repat process, was both supportive and inspiring. I’d like to thank Wiebke for this fabulous program and her excellently compiled coaching material which has given me plenty of food for thought.”

“My sessions with Wiebke were a breath of fresh air. Finally, someone understands what I am experiencing! In working with her, I felt there was no topic off limits. Wiebke was always kind and empathetic, with a keen eye for helping me shift my perspective both on the culture around me and on my own accomplishments. Most importantly, she was an informed and reliable support whom I could trust.”

“After returning with my family from an extended work-related stay abroad, I decided to seek coaching from Ms. Homborg. What I particularly appreciated from the very beginning was that Ms. Homborg had also lived abroad for a long time and could therefore understand many of the challenges I faced in adjusting after our return. I felt very well taken care of right from the start.

Ms. Homborg is competent, very sensitive, and empathetic. She helped me untangle the huge tangle of “to-dos” and emotions and break them down into smaller steps; all my worries and concerns were always given space and were allowed to be there.

Over the course of the sessions, I was able to find a bit of a “common thread” and a sense of direction again. After every coaching session, I felt a little more organized and structured, and like I’d taken another step forward. Ms. Homborg gave me tips and advice on how to better achieve the next goals we’d set during our sessions in the time between them. She regularly checks in with me via text message to see how I’m doing—that personally helped me stay on track and not feel like I was doing this alone.

Overall, the coaching and Ms. Homborg’s motivating, positive approach really helped me settle back into my hometown and find my footing again, as well as develop new professional and personal prospects.”

“I definitely recommend an intercultural training with Wiebke Homborg, she is a professional who has lived several experiences abroad and studied what may be happening to you or will happen to you when facing a different culture. The training of Wiebke helped me a lot to understand my own culture as Mexican – there were several aspects on which I had not reflected – and the German culture. Thanks to her training I consider that I can better understand the cultural differences of Germany and Mexico and I now have more tools for my cultural immersion.

Wiebke is very dedicated, kind and professional; I recommend these trainings. Never underestimate cultural differences and as often, all we need is help to understand them and from there the adaptation is much easier.”

“Ms. Homborg’s intercultural training motivated and sensitized me to the clear differences between German and Mexican culture. It was well structured and supplemented with many examples from Ms. Homborg’s personal experience in Mexico. I have been in Mexico for two weeks now and have already successfully used my new skills when communicating with my Mexican colleagues. The training is very recommendable for those who travel to Mexico for a longer time.

“Wiebke is a highly empathetic professional, passionate about her job and provides the right amount of structure, knowledge and great tools to guide her clients through the process. While working with her, I enjoyed her bright personality, her guidance and her extreme flexibility in adapting the coaching process to the new (pandemic) circumstances without letting me get stuck on the way. She was exactly that transparent sparring partner to me that I needed to reflect during the early stages of my transition. Coming from the same field it was a great experience for me to switch roles, exchange ideas with her and get ready to unpack my re-entry backpack.”

“Dear Wiebke, thank you so much for the wonderful ‘Heimwärts’ workshop with you. Even though this is now the third time we’ve returned to Germany from abroad, it feels different every time. This time, we wanted to approach the transition more consciously as a couple and as a family, and the workshop was the right decision. Wiebke handled the preparation, implementation, and follow-up of the workshop very professionally. We feel well-informed and have taken away many ideas for our ‘new home.”
