Pivot Point

A turning point can happen in our lives for so many reasons. New opportunities, new relationships, a new outlook.

At this time of year, I think about grief and loss. This is also a turning point, a pivot forced on us. What we do with that creates a new path. It is remarkable and horrible all at the same time.

My loss forced me to start over. It forced me to “find myself”. Finding your new place in the world pushes us to discover our strength. What really matters.

Embrace your strength. Embrace the journey.

We've reached that magical moment where reflection meets aspiration. As we close the chapter on a year of decisions, we step into a new year filled with opportunity, renewed determination, and the chance to create meaningful impact.

What will the new year hold? Let’s embrace it with purpose, drive, and a commitment to building stronger communities and brighter futures—together.

When someone feels safe enough to raise their hands and say, “I made a mistake” or “I need somehelp,” according to Simon Sinek, that leader has created an environment where their people feel safe to be themselves.

Mistakes will happen; it is inevitable; what happens after differentiates average organizations from great ones. When errors are made, our actions shift from doing the right thing to covering our behinds. Pointing fingers rather than accepting personal responsibility, hiding errors rather than fixing them, and allowing minor problems to become big because they’re inadequately addressed.

Remember that mistakes are vital to our growth; we often put way too much pressure on ourselves to seek some unrealistic ideal of perfection. As the leader, let your team know that there’s no shame in making mistakes, and most importantly, you have their back when they happen. Leaders are responsible for creating an environment where people feel safe to be themselves. When employees are scared to make mistakes, they become preoccupied with protecting themselves from the forces within the company instead of helping the leadership protect the company from external influences.
