The American Market Alchemist

Working in the USA as a Dutch Career Coach: Interview with Maartje Bakker of Space To Think

July 16, 2024 Christina Rebuffet-Broadus

I have a special place in my heart for European entrepreneurs who have gone to live and work in the USA.

We have switched places!

I moved from the USA to France.

They moved from Europe to the USA.

So we always have a lot of things in common.

This week, I have the great pleasure of interviewing Maartje Bakker.

If you don't know Maartje, you should follow her on LinkedIn NOW.

She is an inspiration and a role model for personal branding on Linkedin.

Maartje is a career coach from the Netherlands. She moved to South Carolina a few years ago.

So of course I wanted to interview her about the work culture differences (Netherlands VS. USA), her perception of Americans at work, and how she adapted to her new culture.

We also talk about how she got out of the tech industry to become a career coach for women.

And balancing your authentic European identity with the expectations of American customers.

If you sell services and work with American clients (or you aspire to), you'll want to listen to this interview.
