Welcome

Are you an expatriate or international professional
struggling to balance work and personal priorities, 
facing a transition in your career, 
looking for a job,
developing your own business, or 
wanting to get back into work after time away?
I can help
I'm Kate Barsby, Founder of International Staff Care, coach, expatriate, people-motivator and career strategist. I have years of experience supporting people - just like you - to take control of their lives and their minds, and create a career and an approach to life which fully reflects who they are and what they value. I help:
  • managers in international organisations handle their work more effectively so they get the best from their team, spend more time in their genius zone and create a healthy balance between work and other priorities;
  • job hunters and professionals facing a transition in their career set themselves up for success with a clear step by step plan to make the most of the opportunities and to stay motivated and on track;
  • expatriates who have moved away from their home country to be with their partners get clear on what they want and create satisfying careers and businesses in their own right; and 
  • expatriates returning to work after caring for family gain clarity on their options, grow their confidence and get clear on their direction.

Why I do what I do (the abridged version!)

My passion for this area of work is fuelled by first-hand knowledge and understanding of the exciting (and at times! challenging) nature of running an international life and career, a natural ability to champion other people and their goals, a life-long fascination with personal development and making my own life run more easily and efficiently, and the determination to have a career doing what I love whilst supporting others to do the same. More
