Nane Bittencourt: Living and Thriving in New Countries, New Languages

Make Life Less Difficult

My guest today is Nane Bittencourt.
Nane is a leadership coach with a mission to empower leaders to achieve their full potential. Nane is originally from Brazil and now lives in the US. With over eight years of coaching leaders in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, she helps clients unleash their full potential to drive their careers, seeing their work as a meaningful part of their lives rather than just a job and strategizing accordingly.
Nane is dedicated to empowering leaders to provide clear, empathetic, and innovative guidance in today's interconnected world. I find inspiration in my understanding of culture that goes beyond borders.
She’s been interested in living and working internationally for most of her life and has intentionally pursued these dreams, bringing them to fruition.
Nane and I met through the Georgetown Institute for Transformational Leadership Alumni Network, most specifically because she was intrigued about a Story Slam that I was hosting at the Network’s annual conference.
Along with agreeing to tell a story at the story slam, Nane also agreed to come on my podcast and share pieces of her journey.
We talk today about the challenges of moving to a new country, learning to find and express oneself in new languages and new cultures, and strategies to find an anchor in the midst of these transitions.
Nane, thank you for sharing these pieces of your story. Thank you for sharing the vulnerable reality of facing your fears, stepping into the unknowns, asking for help, and bravely stretching yourself. You are courageous, wise, and inspiring and I’m so glad we’ve gotten connected!
