Reset. Reframe. Rise.
In today’s increasingly global and mobile workforce, the challenge of transitioning into a culture vastly different from your own is not simply a logistical one, it is deeply psychological. For expatriate leaders, this transition often comes with an invisible load, navigating cultural dissonance, identity shifts, and professional adaptation, all while trying to stay grounded.
At Janice Rowen Consultancy (JRC), we believe that resilience is not something you wait to build in a crisis, it is something you cultivate daily. And that belief transformed into a unique, psychology-informed tool: the Thrive Resilience Building Cards.
Beyond DEI: Addressing the Real Transition Gap
While many organizations offer DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) programs, few truly equip their people for the psychological toll of cross-cultural transitions. Thrive Resilience Cards do not just tick a corporate box, they speak directly to the lived experience of individuals navigating new environments.
This toolkit goes deeper than strategy and surface-level support. It helps individuals:
- Recognize cognitive, emotional, and somatic symptoms of transition fatigue
- Understand the psychological impacts of change and adaptation
- Reset the mind and body using evidence-based techniques drawn from positive psychology and coaching psychology
Why PERMA+V? A Psychology-Backed Foundation

- Positive Emotion
- Engagement
- Relationships
- Meaning<
- Accomplishment
- +Vitality
Each card in the deck is designed to guide a moment of reflection or action. Whether digital or physical, they meet the individual where they are, be it in a hotel accommodation, a boardroom, or between meetings, offering a prompt to reset, reframe, and rise.
Practical. Portable. Powerful.
What makes these cards different?
They are:
- Self-directed yet structured: Ideal for daily use or in-the-moment support during emotional spikes
- Culturally intelligent: Designed with the realities of expatriate life in mind
- Flexible: Use them as part of a corporate onboarding experience, during coaching or mentoring sessions, or as a personal self-care ritual
- Exclusive to JRC: These cards are part of the wider Thrive Resilience Toolkit, but can also stand alone as a high-impact, low-effort tool for change
