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.

But that version is often something we constructed, not something we were given. When we hear what was actually requested, separate from what our overwhelm assumed, it rarely carries the size we gave it.
