As a leader striving for meaningful change, it's natural to feel apprehensive about letting go of the familiar. One of my coaches dubbed me the pivot queen during a pivotal moment of doubt and uncertainty in my life, saying, “You’re the pivot queen. It’s what you do!” Now, I’m sharing the seven steps I use to take full responsibility for my life and turn challenges into powerful opportunities for growth.
Breaking New Ground
Before we dive into these steps, I want to share a bit of inspiration. Have you seen the show "Breaking New Ground" on Max? Robert Hartwell, a dear friend and coach, beautifully transforms an old home with a rich history into something magical. On Juneteenth 2020, Robert bought an old home in Great Barrington, MA. The house had been vacant for years and had a history where people who looked like him were once enslaved and served in this home. Now, as a free, gay, Black man in America, Robert owns this very home and reimagining a new life and story for it. The show is magical, filled with messages of hope and possibility, and I even have a cameo in Episode 2!His story of hope and transformation during the pandemic is truly inspiring, and it reminds us that nothing is impossible when we believe in ourselves and our dreams.
Path To Transformation 🚗 Less Control
Life is always happening, but it doesn’t have to just happen to you; it can happen FOR YOU. The key is to take full responsibility and control over your life Is learning to let go.
Here a glimpse of a few steps to guide you:
Acknowledge Your Emotions: Allow yourself to feel guilt and fear. These emotions are natural responses to change.
Name the Old Vision: Clearly define the vision you need to let go of. Write it down, talk about it, and understand why it’s no longer serving you.
Grieve the Loss: Give yourself permission to grieve. It’s okay to mourn the loss of an old vision.
Embrace the New Vision: Focus on new opportunities and possibilities. Write and talk about what gets to be great now.

Remember, making pivots in your life is all about committing to yourself and what you truly want. When you take full responsibility, you turn challenges into opportunities and make life work for you. Life is a journey, and the only certain destination is death. While thinking about death can be scary, it's a reminder that life is short. So, live with gratitude and take charge to make things happen for yourself.
