It Is Well Leadership

As leaders, we have so much pressure placed on us. We’re required to increase profits, maintain staff, and keep things chugging along at a healthy rate.

But what happens if we don’t? What happens to the way we think, feel, or even act?

I recently heard pastor Peter Reeves speak to a group of students at Michigan Youth Convention about his ministry. He said something that shocked those in attendance.

Relocating for work offers an exciting opportunity to embrace new environments, expand professional horizons, and take on fresh challenges. Yet, the logistics of moving can be daunting, especially when juggling a career shift.

Plan Ahead and Stay Organized

Creating a timeline is critical when relocating for work. Start by listing essential tasks such as hiring movers, securing housing, and transferring utilities.
