7 Things to Remember When Traveling For Work

Image by Steven G. Style post with outfit details is here.

Traveling for work is one of my favorite perks of my job. In the last year and a half I’ve been to New York City, Columbus, St.Louis and Orlando for work. Sounds good, right? Yes, it is but to whom much is given, much is required. I want to share what I’ve learned along the way.

7 Things to Remember When Traveling for Work:

  1. Punctuality: Be early to every meeting, dinner, break, flight, etc.

  2. Technology: Charge your devices prior to traveling. Purchase a cute portable for charging in your bag. Here’s one of my favorite portable chargers.

  3. Reason for Travel: Solidify the purpose of travel before heading to your destination.

  4. Travel Light: Only pack what you absolutely need. I like to stick to carry on 1 carry on bag and 1 personal item to avoid waiting for baggage.

  5. Monetary Responsibility: Set clear expectations on who is paying for the business trip.

  6. Research: Dive into the agenda for the visit and research topics of conversation, industry trends and hot topics related to your client.

  7. Rest: Go to bed early the night before you’re scheduled to meet with your client. You don’t want to be the sleepy girl with a full day’s agenda ahead.

I hope this post was helpful and insightful for you. Work travel is privilege that should be handled with care. Do you have any questions? Leave them below.
