And you should be. Most expats find coming home after an overseas assignment more difficult than adjusting to a foreign culture--and very few organizations and companies prepare people for the experience. \u003cbr\u003eVeteran trainer and consultant Craig Storti sketches the workplace challenges faced by returning businessmen and women as well as the re-entry issues of spouses, younger children, and teenagers. He also addresses in detail the special issues faced by exchange students, international development volunteers, and military and missionary personnel and their families. \u003cbr\u003eIf you're about to relocate abroad, are already living abroad, about to come home, or already home, this book walks you through the biggest adjustments, personal and professional, and in this new edition presents a complete do-it-yourself repatriation workshop to help you identify and address your individual readjustment issues. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCraig Storti is the founder and director of Communicating Across Cultures, a Washington DC-based intercultural communication training and consulting firm.
