Irina Kuzmenko

Coach, consultant

Based in France, I coach expatriates and international clients in European countries. I run a private practice and work as a consultant for a venture company.

I am 42 years old, have been an entrepreneur for 15 years. I have traveled to over 70 countries and lived in several of them. Before becoming a coach, I worked as an editor at an international publishing house, and published my own magazine.

I am certified by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and have received training from Leiden and Yale Universities. I hold Master's degrees in economics and sociology. My coaching approach is grounded in evidence-based practices and does not involve esoteric or magical methods.

How it works

With life coaching for expats, I help people find their unique pathway to making their dream life a reality by overcoming any obstacles that may be preventing them from achieving their goals. The process of developing a new mindset requires time and consistent effort, which is why a standard contract lasts from 1.5 to 3 months.
=
During our sessions, which can be held online or offline once a week or every two weeks, we define your goals and create a strategy for achieving them. Between sessions, you will apply new skills, and at the next meeting, we will discuss the results and whether there is any room for improvement in your strategy.
To build muscle, some people hire a fitness coach, while others try the youtube workouts, and some start and stop sporadically. I am like a fitness coach in that I can help you make changes more quickly and with less likelihood of quitting. However, the primary responsibility for the work falls on you. I am here to guide and support you along the way.

How much time and money it takes

Trial session – free of charge

Session packages
Online or offline meetings once a week or two,
partial prepayment


Express
5 sessions + 1 for free = €300

Standard
9 sessions + 1 for free + bonus = €500

Premium
12 sessions + 2 for free + support between sessions + individual personality portrait = €1200
You will receive a presentation with your unique traits and characteristics, as well as recommendations on how to highlight your strengths.
If you do not see the results and decide to stop our cooperation, I return the prepayment.

If you buy one session and within three months decide to continue, the first session counts as a part of the discounted package.

I prefer to limit the amount of sessions, 3–4 months are enough for almost any request. My goal is not to get you hooked on coaching, but to help you build a ship and let you float.

Why it's good working with me

Irina Kuzmenko
I have changed a lot in my life and I know how difficult it can be. My own experience of traveling and living abroad helps me to understand the challenges that come with living a life that spans cultures, languages, & time zones. Because of this, I’m able to bring a great deal of empathy and understanding to my work.
I was a timid girl from the outskirts of Moscow, Russia, and now I am a tranquil and happy businesswoman living on the French Riviera. It was a long way, so I understand pretty well how to get from one point to another. And what hinders this movement, and what helps. At the same time, I am aware that not every person needs to move abroad or to reach career heights.Everyone has their own way to be happy, we will find yours.
