You Didn’t Move Abroad to Play Small.
Many accomplished women build successful careers at home —
only to find that leading across cultures makes their voice less visible.
​
I help senior women leaders reclaim their presence, influence global teams, and lead with confidence across cultures — without losing their authenticity.
​
Executive coaching for women leading across regions, cultures, and global organizations.
​

Have you ever felt invisible in a room you worked so hard to earn your place in?
Have you held back because of your accent, your culture, or the fear of being “too much” — or "not enough"?
​
In Find Your Voice Abroad, global leadership coach Ina Saltanava speaks to women building careers across borders who are tired of shrinking to fit systems that were never designed for them.
​
Drawing on two decades of international experience and the A.B.R.O.A.D.™ framework, this book helps women leaders reclaim their voice, rebuild confidence, and lead with clarity and authenticity across cultures.
​
You don’t need to become someone else to succeed abroad.
You need to come home to yourself.
​
And when you do, your voice won’t just return — it will lead.

When Women Lead Globally, the Rules Change
​
You know how to lead.
​
But when you step into international environments:
​
-
communication norms shift
-
authority is expressed differently
-
expectations of women leaders vary across cultures
​
Many talented women begin to feel:
​
-
less heard in global meetings
-
less confident navigating cultural dynamics
-
unsure how to assert their leadership without compromising authenticity.
​
Not because they lack capability — but because global leadership systems were not designed with women’s voices at the center.
When women leaders fully own their voice across cultures, they:
​
-
lead global teams with presence and credibility
-
influence across regions and power dynamics
-
bring authentic leadership into international organizations
-
help redefine what global leadership looks like
​
Not just for themselves — but for the generations of women who will lead after them.
Leading Globally Is Different — No One Prepared You for It
You are adapting your leadership style to a new country
You easily get emotional and may lose composure during team meetings
You think and feel like everything needs to be perfect, it is never enough
You struggle with global stakeholder expectations and performance pressure
You want to grow and thrive in an international environment
You are overwhelmed and close to burnout and would like to start setting boundaries
You are seeking long-lasting results from your intercultural team
You feel like an outsider and would like to build trust and gain confidence
You suffer from imposter syndrome and would like to improve your self-esteem

Turn Cultural Complexity into Your Leadership Advantage
Testimonials from Female Leaders Worldwide
“I've been very fortunate to work with Ina over the past several months as my executive coach. Ina is insightful, engaging, empowering, challenging in the best way, thoughtful in her approach, and truly skilled - both technically and intuitively - in the coaching field. I have a particularly unique perspective on this assessment, as I am an executive coach as well ... so, it's extra difficult to impress me! Yet Ina has done so in epic fashion, and I consider it a privilege to call her my coach.”
- Julie, Head of HR, Houston US
"In our work together, Ina created
the conditions for me to be weak so that I could become stronger. To give myself grace. To find my next step forward rather than simply pushing through.
I am eternally grateful for that, and it is precisely why I trust her."
-Carolina, Senior Vice President, US
“Ina's coaching has been very valuable for me. Ina provides a safe space to think out loud and is a great listener. She helps me to structure my thoughts, obtain new insights and identify the best solutions through challenging questions. This has supported me a lot to define and reach my professional goals.”
- Agnes, Finance Manager, Luxembourg
