Relocation is more than a move - it changes your life.

Are you about to Relocate, Just Arrived or Returning home?

Relocation is not a single event. It is a human transition that unfolds over time.

My work is designed to provide the right support at the right moment — at each phase of relocation - before departure, after arrival, and beyond.

My MAG – Move · Adapt · Grow approach offers a practical, experience-driven way to manage your next transition successfully.

Support is delivered through hands-on Relocation services combined with structured change-management coaching, tailored to international employees, partners, and families relocating to or from Frankfurt Metropolitan Region.

More About Me

Step 1: Initial Consultation

We start with a conversation to understand your plans, timing, requirements — and your readiness, concerns, and expectations.

Step 2: Tailored Support proposal

Using the MAG framework, I translate our conversation into focused support package aligned with your current stage and priorities.

Step 3: Clear Scope & Agreement

We then agree on scope, deliverables, and fixed costs. Once confirmed, the engagement is formalised so everything is clear before we begin.

Step 4: Early Preparation & Delivery

Support begins as early as possible — ideally 1–3 months before departure — to build preparation, clarity, and reduce pressure later on.

Step 5: Arrival & First

90 days support

Move doesn’t end at the front door. Support continues through structured check-ins and availability during your first 90 days after arrival, ensuring stability as daily life takes shape.

*Included in fixed price

Step 6: Adapt and Grow

Once stability is established, the focus shifts from settling in to adapting and growing. Support evolves with your needs — helping individuals and families build routines, confidence, and long-term momentum in work, school, and everyday life.

Hello and Welcome

I´m Martin Augustsson Gbenplay

The M.A.G. Approach™

MOVE
Be Prepared, Plan and Move

Pre-Departure & Relocation Support

The MOVE phase combines structured preparation with hands-on relocation support before and during the move. It supports employees, partners, and families moving to or from Germany by aligning expectations early and delivering Relocation services - including Planning, House- School Search, Orientation, and Settle — to create clarity & reduce risk early.

Explore MOVE

ADAPT
Build Stability & Belonging

Settling-in and Transition Support

The ADAPT phase focuses on life after arrival. As routines are missing and emotional pressure rises, it provides hands-on settling-in support alongside human-centred guidance — helping individuals and families restore stability, rebuild routines, and stabilise everyday life.

Explore ADAPT

GROW
Thrive in the long run

Ongoing Support & Integration

The GROW phase supports longer-term stability, confidence, and direction after relocation. It focuses on flexible, ongoing support focused on consolidation, integration, and direction — supporting partners and families as needs evolve over time, without forcing outcomes.

Explore GROW

"Different phases require different types of support - M.A.G ensures the right support at the right time.

Why MAG works

MAG is built on three core principles:

Early preparation prevents unnecessary struggle
Adaptation is a process, not a moment
Sustainable relocation requires human support, not just logistics

By addressing relocation as a continuous transition — rather than a one-time event — MAG helps individuals and families move with greater clarity, confidence, and resilience.

Who MAG is for

MAG is designed for:

International employees and their families relocating to Germany
HR and Global Mobility teams seeking to reduce assignment risk
Relocation agencies looking for human-centric transition support

Support can be delivered as standalone phase services or as a continuous engagement across all three phases.

Success Stories

“The MAG framework aligns closely with contemporary research showing that expatriation success is a psychological transition — not just a logistical move. Independent peer-reviewed research confirms that resilience develops in stages, and that early support for individuals, partners, and families is the strongest predictor of long-term adjustment.”— Based on Gao et al., 2023
