Why is Expat Leaders Rise™ Different?

Tear Down the Barriers Keeping you from Your True Expat Leader Success!
"During my 8 years in the US and 8 years in Japan, I often felt like an outsider, receiving the 'foreigner' treatment that made me feel isolated despite being naturally extroverted.
These experiences awakened an unexpected introvert within me. While the cultural dynamics were different—the US and Japan each presented unique challenges—the underlying feelings of exclusion and frustration were strikingly similar.
It took me years to figure out how to be both authentic and successful in these new environments. What finally worked in the US didn’t translate at all in Japan, leading to even more frustration and setbacks.
This long, challenging journey is why I’m so passionate about helping Expat Leaders speed up their success. No one should have to spend years struggling to find their footing like I did." - Cornelia Tsuha
"Even though I had extensive experience traveling across Asia for business, nothing could have prepared me for life and work in Austria.
In Asia, politeness and kindness can take you far, but I quickly learned that in Austria—and much of Europe—this approach often led to being excluded or ignored.
It was mind-blowing and deeply challenging to navigate a culture where my usual ways of being weren’t enough.
I had to learn to assert myself, to be seen not just as 'the Japanese guy' but as the professional and individual I am.
This journey pushed me to rethink how I communicate, act and assert my presence.
It was the most challenging yet enriching experience of my life.
I want to share these lessons with other Expat and Global Leaders so they don’t have to go through the same struggles.
The journey is tough, but the rewards—personal growth, success and deep cultural understanding—are incredibly worth it." - Heiwa Tsuha
