The Signpost Plan: Foundational Orientation

The Profile: Is this for you?

The Signpost Plan is designed for families at the very beginning of their journey who want to ensure they are starting on the right foot. You are likely a self-led family that feels confident managing the move but wants the security of professional markers to ensure no critical steps are missed. You value having a clear “heads-up” on what to expect, allowing you to navigate the path with a sense of order and foresight.

This plan is particularly relevant for:

  • Families in the Exploration stage who are considering an international assignment/relocation offer and want to understand the roadmap ahead.

  • Experienced global families who are moving again and want a streamlined, stage-specific reminder of the essential milestones.

  • Independent movers who prefer to manage their own relocation and want to avoid the “common obstacles” of a global transition.

  • Proactive parents who want a steady stream of expert insights delivered to them as they manage life abroad.


The Logic: Why a Signpost?

On any new trail, the most important tools are the ones that keep you from getting lost before you’ve even begun. The Signpost Plan provides the foundational orientation every global family needs. It isn’t about someone walking the path for you; it’s about providing the clear, expert-led markers that point the way forward.

Our guidance at this level is designed to normalize the common hurdles of relocation by giving you the predictive knowledge to see them coming. We provide the essential “narrative infrastructure” that turns a daunting move into a series of manageable, well-timed steps. With a Signpost, you can move forward with the confidence that you have the right information for the right season.

  • Global Family Checklists: Foundational roadmaps that break down international life into manageable, stage-specific milestones. From Exploration to Repatriation, these guides ensure you balance practical logistics with the essential emotional processing required at every turn.

  • Global Family Newsletter: A monthly digital publication delivering expert insights and practical strategies directly to your inbox. It serves as a gentle reminder that you aren’t alone on this journey and provides the tools and tips needed to help your family thrive.


A Story from the Trail: Starting with Clarity

“We weren’t sure where to begin when the offer first came through. The Signpost Plan gave us exactly what we needed: a clear set of markers that told us what to focus on and when. It took the guesswork out of the early months and allowed us to talk about the move as a family with much more confidence.” — Second-time Expat Family, relocated from London to Dubai.
