As an expat overseas

Each of us have our own roots in our home country, some stronger than others. Our journeys as expats has led both of us to the other side of the ocean. I believe that new potentials can be found in life regardless of where you live. By potential, I mean resources, opportunities, and performance. Sometimes these can be hidden behind a workload or a challenging life situation, for example. Work supervision can help you. Feel free to contact me!

Everyone benefits from work supervision

There are many reasons for applying for work supervision. It helps employees and the work community to research and strengthen their basic role, to find new perspectives and ways of working, and to support professional growth and well-being at work. The supervisor does not have to be a professional in the same field as the supervisee. The work is based on mutual trust, interaction and the learners’ own insights. Work supervision can be implemented as an individual or as a team. Meetings are either face-to-face or remotely, in a peaceful and confidential space.

Susanna Merikanto-Timonen

Hi! I have a Master of Theology (ThM) degree from the University of Helsinki and am a supervisor approved by the Finnish Work Supervisors Association (STOry). I have worked among expats for more than 20 years – as an employee, on the employer side, as a volunteer, as a spouse and as a mother. I have everyday life experience from Germany, the United States and the United Arab Emirates, as well as returning to Finland. I also have shorter work experiences abroad from Scotland, Thailand and Belgium. Work supervision is a learning process and I bring my work experience and diverse training to this joint work supervision journey. As a work supervisor, I have been described as an encouraging and positive travel partner on the way to the supervisee´s own goals. In my free time I can be found participating in a triathlon. “

"Susanna is a positive, calm but energetic person who performs a lot to benefit the team she works for at the time. I warmly recommend her competent services."

“Susanna has done a great job in supporting our team going during the prolonged COVID pandemia and all its many implications on the way we work. Her down-to-earth style and capacity to engage all team members in discussions have been extremely valuable. In addition, she has been spreading a positive atmosphere around her and has contributed to the team’s future-oriented outlook.”

AmbassadorWorkshops

"My experience with workplace counseling with Susanna has been beneficial and a steep learning curve; I have learned to control my time management, stress at work as well as personal and professional relationships in a management position. Susanna is a good listener and helps me find the solutions, at the same time giving me the tools to find these solutions in my own way. This both enhances and supports my skills at my job and has been very helpful in managing difficult relationships that are part of the everyday worklife in management position."

Chief officerProfessional Work supervision for individual

"I had the privilege to be part of Susanna's coaching cases during her studies. Although we are friends, she was able to take a completely different role during our sessions. My peers and I had sessions for nearly two years on regular basis. Susanna has a talent to see things in people that they never saw themselves, be it on an individual or team basis. She can be your eye-opener. Susanna has a caring and friendly personality with the right amount of humor. She made me realize that professional work supervision does not have to be serious business even if the topic is tough, and sometimes it is. She is present when you talk, she not only hears but listens. Her sessions are well constructed, consistent, and logical. She can take your performance to the next level - for you to go beyond."
