Everything you need to grow your network
Emigrating to a new country is an exhilarating yet challenging experience.
Among the many obstacles, overcoming language barriers is particularly significant.
My journey started nearly four years ago in Curaçao, where I sought a community that could communicate in English, my second language, if not in my native Afrikaans.
Shortly after settling in, I launched a Facebook group for expats and visitors. This community gradually expanded, especially with an influx of members from English-speaking countries.
Eager to dive deeper into island life, I looked for a local networking group.
When I couldn't find one, I saw it as a sign to create my own community – motivated by the belief that "if you build it, they will come."
Build Meaningful Connections
Wherever we find ourselves in our business journeys, the innate human urge to connect with others stays the same.
And although we each navigate our own unique entrepreneurial journeys, the fundamental desire for authentic connections and relationships remains constant.
NICE TO MEET YOU
Hi, I am Suzette
My unwavering belief in the power of connection, my multi-dimensional expertise and multi-passionate personality, and my commitment to empowering others have been the driving forces behind my journey as a Women's Self-Awareness Coach and the founder of I Am Life Coach, CURACAO Business Network, and Insta Curaçao.
Hailing from South Africa, my life has been a tapestry of colorful experiences, from being a single mother to embarking on diverse careers spanning administration, sales, compliance, finance, and leadership roles.
Driven by my passion for personal growth and making a positive impact, I took the leap into the coaching world a year ago, establishing my coaching business online. My coaching practice revolves around empowering others and facilitating personal transformation. Drawing from my diverse background and experiences, I guide individuals in discovering their true potential, cultivating self-awareness, and achieving their personal and professional goals.
Ever since I arrived as an expat on the vibrant island of Curaçao, I felt a strong need for English-speaking individuals to connect and have a platform to connect, share information, and share their experiences.
Inspired by the belief that "if you build it, they will come," I founded the CURACAO Business Network, a much-needed platform that brings together like-minded individuals and fosters a sense of community on the island. Where individuals can come together, share information and opportunities, and exchange experiences. In English.
I strive to create an environment where every individual feels supported, inspired, and capable of achieving their dreams. Together, we will embark on a journey of growth, self-discovery, and transformation, unlocking the boundless potential that lies within each of us.
