The Sherpa Plan: Your Guide to the Path Ahead
The Profile: Is this for you?
The Sherpa Plan is designed for families who recognize that a global move is more than a logistical challenge: it is a major life transition that requires dedicated care. You likely value being well-prepared, but you also understand that the emotional and practical “heavy lifting” of a move can be overwhelming when handled alone. You want to ensure every member of your household feels seen, supported, and grounded as you navigate the complexities of life across borders.
This plan is particularly relevant for:
-
Female-led international assignments where a woman is balancing the high-stakes demands of a new professional role with her primary caregiver responsibilities.
-
Families with school-aged children seeking to prioritize educational stability and emotional wellbeing during their family adventures.
-
First-time international families who want to establish healthy foundations and avoid common pitfalls from the start.
-
Dual-career couples navigating the “double burden” of two professional paths and a shared family move.
- Split-family arrangements where parents are managing the unique pressure of maintaining a household across two, or more, locations.

A Story from the Trail: Finding Our Ground
“Before starting the Sherpa Plan, we were overwhelmed by the ‘double burden’ of a new job and a struggling household. Having a dedicated consultant didn’t just give us tips; it gave us the breathing room to actually enjoy our international life. It turned our most stressful transition into a period of real family growth.” — Senior Leader & Mother of two, relocated to Singapore.
