You are stuck?
With Coaching for Global Minds you can get your life abroad on track.
"Hi", "Merhaba" and "Moin". I am Gülru.
I am a systemic life and career coach, cosmopolitan, mother of two multicultural boys in an international marriage. My mission is to support you with coaching sessions in in English, German or Turkish to have a self determined and fulfilled life abroad.
Moving abroad is never easy. Culture shock is real. Even if you live already abroad for quite some time new challenges emerge. You may feel yourself as a foreigner, not belonging to the country you are living in, not belonging to your home country neither. Does not matter where we go, fear, insecurity, permanent desire to be pleasing or maybe pressure of success, we took our burdens with us and the new context can even sharpen our issues.
I know all of these, I have been there:
I followed my career and moved abroad. Then I followed my love, left my career and moved abroad again. Meanwhile I settled down in Hamburg with my family of four and combined my passion for people with my international background:
I consult global minds like you who pursuit a self determined and fulfilled life abroad.
CROSSROADS for GLOBAL MINDS
Which challenge sounds familiar to you?
Your life is unique, so are your challenges. And this how I approach each and every journey with my clients. In the same time throughout my coaching sessions with great international people I came across six life changing decisions and situations which are typical for Global minds. I have specialized my coaching approach in exactly these crossroads.
I am looking forward to accompany you.

Journeys of global minds
What some of my clients say
After moving to a totally new country, I was feeling both excited and scared. I was a 27-year-old woman and mother to a 6 months old baby, who had left her career behind. Gülru`s support was crucial deciding on my steps forward.
