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 Part That Was Ours The Moment We feel it before we can name it. A clench in the chest, needing this to not be on us.
