A Portable Identity - A Woman's Guide to Maintaining a Sense of Self While Moving Overseas (Electronic book text)

A Portable Identity is the accompanying spouse's definitive guide to success during international relocation. Unlike any other book about overseas living, this book explains with clarity, candor, and compassion how global relocation affects the accompanying spouse's identity at each stage of the move - from pre-departure to arrival, while living overseas, and during repatriation or future moves. The authors are two former expatriate spouses who are also counselors and life coaches specializing in relocation for over twenty years. With practical exercises, inspiring stories, and The Wheel, an innovative model for taking charge of change, a spouse can make choices for a happier and more meaningful life overseas. The result is a successful transition to life abroad and a more "portable" identity that can thrive away from home. A Portable Identity has received rave reviews from around the world and is recommended reading by the Associates of the American Foreign Service Worldwide (AAFSW).
