After arriving in Berlin, Germany at the end of July, 2021 - Stephen and Jennie Jones sit down with host Mike Picconatto to discuss some of their experiences as they are going through the life-changing transition to Berlin.
In this 2-part series, Stephen and Jennie look back at the themes covered in earlier episodes: Beginning with the Endings (Episodes 1-3), The Neutral Zone (Episodes 4-6), and What is Culture (Episodes 8-19). This practice of intentionally looking back during the transition process is an important part of healtihly navigating through the changes that cultural transitions bring, but more about that next week!
We are once again viewing the transition the Jones family is experiencing through the lens of Stephen’s book, Transitions Across Cultures and his Cross Cultural Transition Handbook.
