About the Book

This comprehensive, step-by-step guide is designed to prepare you for your move abroad and to enable you to manage the transition effectively. Alone in the market, it combines the practical, cultural, and psychological aspects of relocation, and helps to allay the fears and reduce the stresses that accompany this major event in a person s life.Preparing For Your Move Abroad follows a typical relocation timeline, taking you from your first step the decision to move to your integration into the host society, and through every step between these two points.It deals with the challenge of change by pulling together the practical, cultural, and psychological aspects of relocation and addressing them at each phase of the process. This distinctive approach helps you to develop three essential skills: systematic organization, cultural flexibility, and psychological resilience. These skills are crucial for successful change management, and can be put to use in any new culture, anywhere in the world.Moving to a new society invariably induces a degree of culture shock largely the result of change overload.

About the Author :
Rona Hart, Ph.D, is a relocation trainer and a counsellor working with bright, successful professional people, preparing them and their families for their move abroad. Her personal relocation experience is rather unusual. She has moved home twenty-four times and has experienced, both as a teenager and as an adult, six international moves and four re-entries. She has been living outside her country of origin Israel for a total of nineteen years now. Importantly, she went, with her husband and two children, through all the ups and downs of the immigration and naturalization experience as they finally decided to make Britain their permanent home. With this background it is perhaps no coincidence that she chose to devote nearly a decade of her life to carrying out several studies, including her PhD, on the relocation experience, exploring its social and psychological aspects. After completing her doctorate, she left the world of research and went on to establish a successful company offering relocation training and counselling services. http://drronahart.com/.
