Getting to know you...

   Are you a newcomer from another country or
   across the country?

   Are you interested in adapting new cultures
   and lifestyles?

   Do you want to balance different cultures to
   create a unique, inspiring life?

Getting to know you...

   Are you experiencing culture shock?

   Do you feel caught between cultures or
   lifestyles?

   Do you believe there are different lifestyle
   or cultural definitions, pathways or behaviors
   that define success?

Layers of Meaning
   Some questions about cultural adaptation are closed-ended
   'yes' or 'no' questions-

          ...while others
           encourage an
            inventory of
            ourselves on
         different levels.

        Lifestyle inventory
       is one technique we
            will discuss.
