Coaching to Your Best Life

Leading the Pivot | Seeing the Good

Published 7 months ago • 1 min read

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 | Seeing the Good
​
​Practical wisdom for the pivots that shape us.

The Moment
​
​We rarely have to go looking for what is wrong.
It finds us.

A missed mark at work. A hard update with our kids. A lab result, a symptom, a number. The gaps rise to the top of the day, and they speak loudly.

The Pivot
​
​What is good often does not announce itself. It sits quietly under the noise. And when we are surrounded by what needs attention, the good can feel harder to name, even when it is right in front of us.

But the good matters. It is where confidence and courage come from. It is what helps us face what is lacking without becoming harsh with ourselves or each other. The good is not a denial of the hard. It is the strength that lets us hold it.

The Move
​
​This week, a small shift in where you look may be enough. A slight turn of your attention toward what is working, what is growing, what is showing up.

What good might you see now that you would have missed before?

Cheering you on to your best life,
​
