In today's globalized world, where over 14 million citizens of the European Union find themselves living and working outside their home countries, the challenges are immense. Many expatriates grapple with adapting to unfamiliar environments, leading to feelings of burnout and isolation. Recent studies have highlighted a deeper issue: identity conflict. This conflict arises from prolonged disconnection between professional roles and personal identity, often overlooked in discussions on expatriates’ mental wellness.
Balázs Ujlaki, a certified holistic life coach and founder of GENIE Life Power Coaching, emphasizes that identity conflict is a silent energy thief that often leads to burnout. He articulates, "Burnout is not the root cause but rather a symptom of a deeper identity misalignment. Research shows that expatriation disrupts individuals' identities on a fundamental level. I have encountered professionals slowly sacrificing their energy and authentic selves to stay afloat in careers that no longer serve them. GENIE empowers individuals to identify misalignments before they become overwhelming."
The GENIE Life Power Accelerator: A Proactive Approach
The GENIE Life Power Accelerator is a comprehensive 12-week program grounded in prevention techniques that target identity stress at its source. The initiative supports expatriates by guiding them to:
- - Identify the gap between their identities, values, and professional roles,
- - Break free from limiting narratives and redefine their job titles,
- - Reconnect with their genuine motivations and goals,
- - Restore clarity and develop sustainable energy.
At the core of this program lies the exclusive GENIE Alignment Compass, a unique visual framework that incorporates various elements such as the Enneagram, six human needs, fundamental values, personal strengths, roles, and the Japanese IKIGAI model. Unlike conventional static assessments, this compass offers actionable insights into areas where energy is depleted and where recalibration is necessary.
Ujlaki explains the value of the compass, stating, "It provides clients with the vocabulary to articulate feelings they could not express before. By proactively addressing identity fragmentation, we can prevent identity strain before it escalates into burnout."
The GENIE Life Power Accelerator combines evidence-based assessments, guided coaching, reflective tools, and habit monitoring grounded in neuroscience and academic research to foster lasting changes.
