Q1. What does transition entail? Transition is a lifelong process. We ALL experience transitions throughout our lives but even throughout our daily routines. Consider the transitions we make when moving from school to college, from college to career, or from career to retirement. All BIG changes. How about smaller, more routines-based transitions? We transition from home to the events planned for the day. We might move from work, to lunch with a friend, to a work meeting, to the gym, and then home again. Each of those transitions requires us to plan and prepare.
