Debriefing is a process that is designed around your story. The number of days is negotiable and here are some of the components that could potentially be considered during your debrief:

- Length of a debrief: typically 4 days of debriefing (# of days can be negotiable). Factors to consider: number of years on the field; debriefed as one person or in a couple; time availability)

- Topics may include: laying out your story, what's happened in your journey, the impact it is had on you, your family, teammates, etc. We may look at loss and grief; transitional challenges, cross-cultural living; relational challenges

- Discover how transition has impacted your journey

- Conflict: how conflict in relationships as well as cultural dynamics can impact our behaviors and how we treat those around us

- Let's discover what scripture has to say about all of the above and give you an opportunity to ask 'what is God saying to me in the process'.

If you've landed on this website, you are probably thinking about how to best care for your workers that are thousands of miles away. Or, perhaps you find your organization in the midst of a crisis situation and are not sure how to go about handling it. Did you know there are a lot of resources available to you, and I can be one of them to help you through a challenging season - whether it's a one time event or an ongoing discussion of how to build a member care strategy to provide your entire organization - both domestic and international. For a free 30 min. consult, contact me to set this up. Would love to come alongside your organization.

Are you new to a member care role? Or perhaps you are a veteran member care provider, but need some outside input. I can be a sound board for you as well as help you strategize approaches of how to handle various personnel decisions. This can be especially challenging if you are located in two different places. I can also be a neutral third party for your team members in the event you feel it would be beneficial to provide your team with an experienced member care provider from the outside. Not sure what your needs are? Let's do a consultation chat to see if we can discover opportunities to partner.

Let's face it...Transition are HARD! I know as I've had many of them in my years of cross-cultural work. How we navigate those transitions impacts not just us, but those around us. Transitions impact our heart, our behaviors, our family/teams, and our attitude about the future. Sometimes we need someone to come alongside and help coach us through it in order to navigate these seasons of change. Or perhaps you are sending people overseas who would benefit from a once-a-month chat for their first six to twelve months on the field. This is a huge help in navigating cultural transitions and being away from their home country. Or perhaps your organization is going through a major transition - a workshop can help everyone to get on the same page. I can help!
