Pivot

     I'm letting someone I respect take up this space today, Nancy from https://startupdecoder.com
She rightly says that the word "pivot" was grabbed by the startup business community a decade or so ago. Now we are all pivoting and it is the new normal.

     Pivot. The startup world appropriated the word a decade or so ago, and now it's practically the word-of-the-year (behind unprecedented). Thanks to the global pandemic and recession, almost every company and individual is currently going through some flavor of pivot to adjust to a new environment. While it may feel very chaotic to think we're all spinning on our individual axes, there's a silver lining: Changing direction is expected. Suddenly pivoting is normalized, as is your winding career path or your next step. All bets are off, as we all shift in this new normal. Stay safe and take care.
