about shifting shores
Coaching - but not as you may know it.
​
Shifting Shores is founded and run by Sharon Cunningham.
​
Based in Copenhagen, Denmark, but working internationally, Shifting Shores Coach offers accessible and flexible coaching for those relocating overseas - providing a listening space and honest conversations, as well as practical elements including worksheets and mindset tools.
​
Coaching is a proactive investment honouring the emotional and identity shifts that come with moving your life (and often your family) across borders before the stress peaks.
​
From pre-departure preparation to family adjustment and cultural integration, Shifting Shores Coach is coaching with a twist - part coach, part mentor, part facilitator, and part educator. We provide tools, frameworks, and tailored guidance that help families settle faster, adapt with confidence, and stay engaged.
“If you’re brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello.”
– Paulo Coehlo
about your coach
Sharon has lived and worked internationally for over 30 years, having moved countries seven times - sometimes for employment, and sometimes with a small child in tow, always with a lot of emotion in the mix. As a wife and a mum who has lived through relocation, she understands how overwhelming the change can feel.​​
"With 30 years of lived global experience and 20 years in senior corporate HR, I’ve worked across international organizations leading professional development, talent acquisition, and relocation. My career has always been centered on helping people grow, adapt, and thrive through change.
​
Beyond the corporate world, I’ve dedicated the past 10 years to community-building projects, supporting families and schools through transitions. I currently serve on several boards and am Chair of SENIA Denmark (Special Education Network & Inclusion Association), where I champion inclusion and advocate for diverse learners.
​
Founding Shifting Shores is a natural extension of this work — bringing together my professional expertise and lived experience to guide individuals and families through the challenges of transition with clarity, compassion, and practical tools."
