Adapting to life abroad - the rules, the norms, the customs, the values - can be an invigorating and dizzying experience. But alongside all that glorious newness - the excitement, the possibilities, the opportunities - comes a whole set of challenges. As you experience wave upon wave of change and a new reality dawns, you press on regardless, doing your best to cope.

In Sink Then Swim, trusted coach, mentor and trainer Sue Schoormans guides you - the expat, the immigrant, the international student, the asylum seeker, the refugee, the international traveller - through some of life's most stressful situations. And with over 20 years of living overseas, a master's degree in International HR and globalisation, and an ill-health journey that moves, inspires and changed her life forever, Sue Schoormans is perfectly placed to help you live your best life abroad.

Through real-life stories, practical tips, 'swimming lessons' and 'ripples of laughter', you'll be inspired to navigate the emotions and challenges presented by the death of a relative, divorce and separation, ill-health and finding a job. Become the successful leader of your life abroad - no matter where you're from or where you've surfaced.

You can and will survive life's most stressful situations when living abroad. Knowing that first you sink and then you swim.
