January 2009 – TBA
Sharyn was contacted by Nissan and asked to assist in a confidential relocation of the companies first Executive Vice President to the United States. For weeks She worked secretly to prepare for the arrival of this executive. Normally this work would be done by several vendors. She was asked to do this assignment alone. After the announcement She was asked to manage the process to ensure continuous care for the executive.
Things happened and they were not good.
During this time Sharyn decided she needed to speak up about issues that did not seem right.
She's still waiting to see if Nissan is Listening?

Specialties
My life travels & work experience has opened my mind giving me a high CQ (Cultural Intelligence) and I can see clearly how the lack of cultural understanding stifles a company. I'm able to see the bigger picture and assist people from all over the globe in making informed decisions. My goal is to train managers in cross cultural business skills making them more accepting of diversity, this is essential in today's global economy.
Summary in Reference to Relocation
Summary in Reference to Relocation
I will show companies how the "pull" system to reduce the "muda". Giving them a custom plan to move relocation work In-House (less pathways!!!!). Better customer service & added benefits to the employee being transferred.
In today's tough economy this "new" approach saves money. Good News!! The cost savings will magnify during the economic rebound.
It also empowers the transferee giving them more options in relo benefits while saving the company money.
The right People, Process & Technology can save your company from excessive consultant cost.
Why Sharyn Bovat???
My travels have given me a clear understanding of global cultural differences. I have a knowledge of the Asian culture & business practices from multiple visits to Japan & China. I understand the Latin culture by traveling throughout Canada, Mexico and Central America. I've spent time in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Australia and Africa. Between 1998 & 2001 while living in the Netherlands I developed an appreciation and respect for the European way of life.
My clients feel comfortable with their move to the USA prior to arriving in Nashville because I communicate & share expectations on housing and lifestyle. This can happen because I understand what is "the norm" in their country. My knowledge helps families transition to a new way of life with less stress. Understanding Nashville's communities I can quickly help with a clients home finding needs that are close to the office of the transferee while taking into account their budgets and education needs in assisting them.
For those that are still on "the fence" about moving to Tennessee I've proven that my orientation tours make for a quick "positive" decision on making a move to TN.
