People Like Us - Frank Nilsen - S2 E25 TCK Podcast

I am delighted to announce that as the 25th episode of the second series, this is the 50th episode!!

In this episode I had the pleasure of chatting with a former coaching client, Frank Nilsen.

Frank grew up between Norway and the USA (moving between the two many times during his upbringing). He talks about the many changes that he has experienced in his life (relationships, career, locations).

Listen as he describes how coaching helped him calm his “three year itch” and take control of the choices available to him.


And in Frank’s words:

The coaching sessions with Jenny helped me recognize that a nomadic TCK (third culture kid) background is a platform to build upon rather than a "swamp" to get us stuck. Jenny's calm demeanor and thoughtful observations lead me to consider how I can harness my rootlessness and restlessness energies to become part of purposeful decision-making rather than drivers of my decisions.

Working with Jenny—a TCK herself—meant that I could forego a lot of time that might otherwise be spent with background explanations. We were able to “cut to the chase” since her starting point is an understanding of what it means to grow up on-the-go. The sessions with Jenny allowed me time to examine my TCK liabilities while exploring ways of converting those into constructive focus going forward.
