Part II: The Ultimate Pivot

Although we heard a sprinkling of news about coronavirus before it reached the U.S., no one was prepared for how much our lives would change in a matter of weeks.

Do you remember mid-March? It feels like a year ago.

Since the shelter-in-place orders were issued, our lives feel like one giant pivot after another.

The word PIVOT shows up daily as I watch people and businesses adapt at a fast and furious pace.

I watch friends pivot in their businesses to deliver goods to their customers' front porch.

I witness parents pivot as they juggle working from home, facilitating distance learning and managing the impossible without childcare.

I applaud the fitness industry as they pivot to become digital businesses overnight, keeping people healthy and sane in their homes. 

 The entire world - individuals, families, businesses, and schools have been forced to decide how they are going to pivot to make this all work.

Whether you think you're killing it or feel like you're drowning, acknowledge that you are quickly becoming a pivot master.

In business, the idea of a pivot is changing the direction of your business while staying grounded in your vision.

While we've HAD TO pivot due to this pandemic, and life as we know it has changed, we can stay rooted in the things that are important, the routines that work for our families, and the rituals we've been able to create.

This is how we get unstuck. We continue to pivot as each wave of this crisis hits.

 As a mother, wife, employee or business owner, you can add a new title to your list of awesomeness - PIVOT MASTER.
