Leading the Pivot | Learning Keeps Finding Us


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 | Learning Keeps Finding Us
​
​
Practical wisdom for the pivots that shape us.


The Moment

A parent needs care we don’t yet know how to give, and the language for it is unfamiliar.

The new job in a new industry feels bigger than we are.

Both ask for skilled work fast, after years of being the one who already knew.

Under all of it, the doubt returns.

Can we really do this again?


The Pivot

Expertise can look like a place we finally reached, so starting over seems to mean giving up everything we had earned.

We have been beginners before, more times than we remember.

The doubt came first.

It always does.

That is true of every beginning, when so much depends on getting this right.

Life keeps handing us the next thing, and we never stop learning, most of it unnoticed.


The Move

Think of something you now handle without thinking.

What might the person you were when it was still hard say to you today?


Cheering you on to your best life,
