Testimonials:
“This was the most useful PD I have had in a very long time. So organised, well-researched, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Mostly PRACTICAL and APPLICABLE!” The Scots School Albury – Teacher and Boarding Housemaster
“Thanks Jane for your presentation. You hit the mark—I have had positive feedback from the parents who attended and there is [a lot of discussion] on the WeChat group following your talk.” Ravenswood School for Girls Parent Connect Co-ordinator
“Jane has outlined a step-by-step approach that the school can utilise to assist in [the process of transitioning our cross-cultural learners] as well as ongoing reflection and feedback from the students to assist. Jane has helpfully used her own experience and professional expertise in [cross-cultural mobility] to develop this program…Clearly with our boarders this has been of great benefit to them in assisting them in the transition into boarding.” Director of Boarding, Sydney Church of England Grammar School (Shore)

“I realise having talked to a lot of people just how helpful our sessions were and how much they set us up. So grateful!” Sal (Australian passport, after moving abroad)
“Just finished a great de-brief week with Jane Barron from Globally Grounded. We worked through a program tailored for our family, and set priorities on how we want to launch life again back in Sydney. I learnt a lot about my own family, and recommend to anyone in transition. Thanks Jane!” John (Australian passport, seasoned missionary throughout Africa)
“Thank you so much for your help and support. I can’t tell you how much more positive and calm I feel going forwards now I know that what we’ve been through as a family, is actually normal in the transitioning process!
