Leaving a job that you have loved for years can be tough. For me, it was made even more difficult by the incredible colleagues and team that I have had the pleasure to work with. Saying goodbye feels like closing a chapter on a book that I wasn’t ready to finish.<\/p>\n

However, throughout the process, I tried to focus on two important things. <\/p>\n

\"Luke<\/span><\/p>\n

Firstly, I reminded myself that opportunities to grow and change can help me remain flexible and adaptable. With every decision, I worked hard to see the bigger picture and kept in mind what was ultimately best for my career, family, and personal goals. Though it will be difficult leaving the team I had grown to love so much, I sense it\u2019s the right move for me at this time.<\/p>\n

Secondly, I want to be sure to show my appreciation to my colleagues and Christensen\u2019s Plant & Hardscape Centers. As I leave, I want to emphasize how grateful I am to have gotten to work with amazing people. Their friendship, guidance and support made my time here a truly wonderful experience.<\/p>\n

\"Luke<\/span><\/p>\n

From day one, our team’s energy and passion inspired me to work harder and strive for excellence. I learned so much from everyone at the company and am honored for the chance to share the successes and challenges with them.<\/p>\n

\"Christensen's<\/span><\/p>\n

While leaving behind something you enjoyed so much is never an easy decision, I take comfort in the fact that I’m taking a step towards new challenges and opportunities. I will always cherish my experiences with Christensen\u2019s and those that I worked so closely with but am excited for what lies ahead.<\/p>\n
