Leading the Pivot | The One Drop


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 | The One Drop

Practical wisdom for the pivots that shape us.


The Moment

We’ve all heard the ancient metaphor of seeing the glass as half full or half empty, optimism or pessimism, hope or defeat. In a word, mindset. A choice which directly connects to well-being, motivation and performance. But what if the real opportunity lies in noticing the one drop that’s already there? The smallest sign of potential that reminds us success always begins somewhere.

Deep, active listening that requires presence. Turning down the internal noise. Staying with the person in front of you long enough to truly understand what they are carrying.


The Pivot

When life hands us pivot moments, whether it’s parenting through a tough season, navigating organizational change, or leading others through uncertainty, our first instinct is often to measure what’s missing. Yet the real shift happens when we focus on what remains.

One drop of patience.
One drop of perspective.
One drop of courage.

Sometimes all it takes is that single drop to start refilling the glass. Each small step, conversation, or decision opens the path for transformation.


The Move

This week, when challenge or change shows up, look for your one drop. The small sign of possibility that reminds you hope endures and success begins with action.


Cheering you on to your best life,
