SPEAKING / CONSULTING
Temporarily located in Wheaton, IL, I am available for speaking engagements and consultations wherever I am needed, whether in North America or abroad. Please scroll down to the bottom of this page for a list of topics.
I have developed several presentations revolving around the themes of multi-cultural understanding and wholeness. All include dynamic speaking, real-life stories, Powerpoint presentations and handouts. I would also be happy to tailor my presentations to meet your specific needs. I only request the reimbursement of travel expenses and lodging.
AUDIENCES:
Churches, missions committees, mission agencies, multi-cultural kids and adults, military groups, etc.
PURPOSES:
- Helping multi-culturals of all ages to understand themselves
- Helping churches to welcome home and care for their MKs
- Helping new missionaries to prepare their families for missions
- Helping multi-culturals to transition back to North America
- Helping teachers/caregivers to understand multi-culturals
TOPICS:
- The TCK Identity: Using H.E.L.P as an acronym, we’ll discuss the specific factors that contribute to shaping a multi-cultural person’s identity. This session will also explore the conscious and unconscious choices TCKs often make to facilitate living cross-culturally. Some are healthy, but others are detrimental to achieving multi-faceted wholeness.
- Preparing for Transition: Using P.E.A.C.E as an acronym, we’ll walk through the stages that will ensure a healthy transition. Every one of those stages will be vital in a successful departure from one world and a deliberate entry into another. From planning ahead to resolving tensions, from saying meaningful goodbyes to creating space for emotions, this session will give clear guidance and explore the complexity of this daunting thing called “change.”
- Beginning Again: Using A.B.I.D.E as an acronym, we’ll discuss the attitudes and actions that can ease a multi-cultural person’s transition back into North America, or into any culture that is foreign to him/her. We’ll explore how acceptance and optimism enhance our transition into a new life, how our weaknesses and pre-judgments may hinder it, and how purposeful investment will facilitate a quicker and more meaningful “rebirth.”
