Leading the Pivot | Comfort's Blind Spot


Welcome to Wednesday! As you step into the natural pivot point of the week, here’s a brief moment of encouragement and perspective to help you lead the pivots in your life.


Leading the Pivot | Comfort's Blind Spot
Practical wisdom for the pivots that shape us.


The Moment

There is a way of working that has carried us for a long time, and we stop questioning it.

It becomes how we lead, how we are known.

Somewhere inside that certainty, we stop imagining any other path to get there, or stay there.


The Pivot

Comfort has a history of passing itself off as permanence.

We assume what has worked will keep working, and let our guard down against whatever might be shifting underneath it.

When the change finally comes, be it a role that disappears or a skill that no longer sets us apart, we call it unexpected, though it seldom is.

What moved was never the ground, only where we were looking.


The Move

Today, notice how much comfort has already decided for you.

What other path might still be worth imagining, long before you need it?


Cheering you on to your best life,
