FAQs

1.What is the Tour of Duty Experience™?

The Tour of Duty Experience™ is an award‑winning, 3.5‑hour, in‑person workshop that reconnects employees to the meaning of Civilian Service to America. It blends ceremony, storytelling, videos, games, and facilitated conversations to create a powerful cultural impact.

2. Who is this workshop designed for?

Any organization whose workforce contributes to the fabric and mosaic of America. This includes hospitals, first responders, municipalities, federal and state agencies, corporations, nonprofits, universities, and community organizations.

3. Do you offer workshops in all states?

Yes, you can schedule our workshops in any state across the U.S. We travel to your location and work with groups all over the country, making it easy for you to take part no matter where you are.

4. How many sessions have you delivered?

We have delivered more than 300 sessions nationwide, reaching thousands of employees across public and private sectors.

5. Who leads the workshops?

You will be guided by experienced Master Facilitators who specialize in helping employees understand the value of civilian service. They skillfully connect your workforce to your organization’s mission, priorities, and culture — while also linking their daily work to the larger story of service to the nation. 

6. What size groups do you work with?

We accommodate groups from 25 to 100 participants, which ensures every attendee can fully engage — including responding to questions, participating in the Smart Phone Research Game, and having their contributions acknowledged and validated.

For organizations with slightly larger groups, limited flexibility may be possible and can be discussed during planning to ensure the experience maintains its quality and impact.

We regularly partner with large organizations and can schedule multiple Tour of Duty Experience™ sessions across several days or an entire week to ensure every group receives the full, high‑quality experience. Each session is delivered with the same level of interaction, respect, and individual attention that defines the Tour of Duty Experience™.

7. How much notice do you need if we want to reschedule a workshop?

We recommend 4–6 weeks of advance notice to ensure proper planning, coordination, and logistics. This allows time to secure your preferred date, review space and AV needs, coordinate any optional panels, and prepare your team for the experience.

For large organizations scheduling multiple sessions across several days, additional lead time is helpful, and we will work with you to build a schedule that fits your operational needs.

Typically, you should let us know as soon as possible if you need to reschedule a workshop. This helps us plan and make sure we can find a new date that works well for you and your team.

8. Can you change the date of a workshop after you have already scheduled it?

Yes, you can change the date of a workshop after it is scheduled, as long as you give us enough notice. We will work with you to find a new date that fits your needs.
