Planning a Pivot
Sometimes a recalibration in your career doesn’t start with a leap – it’s sparked by a question. If you’re contemplating a shift into a new industry, a different type of role, or a move from big to small, ask:
What would it look like to be doing work that aligns with my best and highest use?
Fulfillment – not fleeting happiness – should be your guiding star.
Here, you’ll find ideas and strategies for how to think about risk, build momentum as a proactive contributor, and reshape your identity not by title, but by curiosity, capacity, and the value you create.
Businesses (particularly small businesses) aren’t looking for perfect resumes – they’re looking for people who can help build something that lasts.
“My hope for you is that you’re always moving on and in more interesting and productive directions..If you’re getting transparent feedback and always seeking out your highest and best use, my experience is that you’ll achieve tremendous personal growth and that the world will catch up to reality eventually.”
— From Tim Hanson’s “You’re Different”
“What’s on your plate that you enjoy? Why?
What’s on your plate that you want to keep? Why?
What’s on your plate that’s draining? Why?
What’s on your plate that someone else could do better?
What unexpectedly landed on your plate? Why?
It’s a simple exercise, but often leads to an hours-long conversation about personal confidence, their Thing, how elements have shifted, how well others have stepped up in key areas, and more.”
