E79: Navigating Pivots

Whether in business or personal life, a pivot happens in a person’s life, usually, when there is a certain rumbling or hunger inside for more or for something different. This feeling of restlessness or dissatisfaction is often our nudge that we probably need to explore new opportunities, take on new challenges, or pursue different goals. In today’s episode, I’m sharing how I pivoted from my role as a client service strategist to now, in service of the people. That rumbling started six years even before I actually did it.  Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: Listening to the rumbling inside The value of a coach The importance of self-awareness to stay attuned to the signs around us Welcoming our signs and messages with open arms Episode Highlights: [00:16] The Value of a Coach The decision to pivot is a deeply personal one, and the process will vary depending on the individual and the situation. However, it's important to approach the decision with an open mind, a willingness to take risks, and a commitment to makeing informed choices. Taking action can really be challenging and may require support, especially from a coach, to give you the confidence you need.  [01:08] The Importance of Self-Awareness When we are self-aware and in- tune with ourselves, we are more likely to recognize the signs and messages that we receive from our inner voice or intuition. By developing our self-awareness, we can better understand our own thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and make more conscious and intentional decisions that align with our values and goals. [01:21] Welcoming Signs with Open Arms When we have that level of self-awareness, we can easily push away things in a relationship or bad habits or self-sabotaging behaviors that. It may come up and jump and get you in some way shape or form. But what’s important is you welcome them with open arms. By welcoming these patterns with open arms, we can begin to understand why they are present and how they are serving us. This understanding can help us develop more compassionate and effective strategies for addressing these patterns and creating healthier behaviors and relationships.
