Private Coaching & Thinking Partnership

Successful on paper. What about you?

Your life looks good from the outside. Something no longer fits. A private space to think honestly about your career, your choices and what comes next.

15 minutes · Complimentary · Just a conversation

Certified Coach & NLP Practitioner · 10+ years of international recruitment · English & Czech

SELECTED PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Over more than ten years in international recruitment, I have supported hiring projects through direct employment, independent consulting, RPO assignments, and international agency partnerships.

You can find a detailed overview of my professional experience, responsibilities, and the organisations I have worked with on LinkedIn.

01What brings you here

You don’t need a crisis to want something different.

Sometimes it begins with a question you can’t put down. Sometimes it is a decision you can’t discuss openly with the people around you.

  • “I’m good at what I do. I’m not sure I want to keep doing it.”

    Career & direction. Explore what no longer fits and what you want your work to make room for.

  • “Everyone expects me to know what comes next.”

    Leadership & decisions. A confidential thinking partner for the choices you have been carrying alone.

  • “I’ve built a life abroad. I’m not sure where I belong.”

    Identity & belonging. Consider your next chapter across careers, countries and cultures.

What do you actually want to do?

Not what looks sensible, not what others expect. You may not have an answer yet, and that is a place to begin.

02Coaching for Expats & International Professionals

A life across borders. A direction that’s yours.

Living abroad can expand your world, and quietly unsettle your sense of direction.

You may have built an international career and still be questioning where you belong. This is space to explore what has changed, without losing yourself in what comes next.

  • Reconsidering your career or identity while living abroad

  • Finding your place in a new culture without losing yourself

  • Deciding whether to stay, return home or begin again

  • Building a professional direction outside familiar surroundings

03The thinking partnership

Take off the mask. Keep the ambition.

Bring the uncertainty. Bring the crazy idea. Bring the part you don’t normally tell people. You will be listened to without judgement, and you will still be challenged.

  1. 1

    Hear yourself think.

    A confidential conversation where you do not have to perform, impress or arrive with a plan.

  2. 2

    Question the familiar.

    We examine the assumptions, expectations and patterns shaping your choices.

  3. 3

    Find your own next step.

    Connect what has become clearer to a direction you can act on, at a pace and scope we agree together.

Limited private engagements, agreed by conversation.

04Your thinking partner

A human conversation. A real-world perspective.

Jana Affum

I am a certified business and life coach, and I still recruit. My advice is grounded in what is actually happening in the market today, not in theory.

More than a decade in international recruitment, alongside experience in business and diplomacy, has meant thousands of confidential conversations about ambition, difficult decisions and change.

“There is very little you could tell me that would make me think less of you.”

Start a conversation

Start with a complimentary conversation

Every collaboration begins with a complimentary 15-minute call. We will briefly discuss what brings you here, what kind of support you may need and whether we feel we are the right fit to work together.

No commitment. No generic pitch. Just an honest conversation about whether working together makes sense.
