Do you want to learn the art of being able to pivot in life? This past year has taught us that we can’t take anything for granted, and many of us wonder what’s the next best step to take in order to accomplish our goals, make an impact, and leave a legacy. For those of us who are motivated to do things differently this year, we invite you to listen in to our guest Heather Wolfson, CEO and Lead Strategist of Maven Coaching and Consulting as she gives us a few pointers on how to redefine our roles, refocus our vision, and reimagine the benefits of taking a risk.

Earlier this summer, as the pandemic continued and summer plans were canceled, my children (ages 9 and 6), entered into a team project–building Manchester United’s stadium, out of Legos. This kit was designed for ages 16+ and included nearly 4,000 pieces. They saved their own money, so my husband and I needed to be supportive. Much to my surprise, their construction month was a lesson in group dynamics and management.

Reflecting on my twenty-year career, I’m surprised to notice that “stuck in the middle” remains a common theme and especially at this moment as we face a global pandemic. For years I served in “middle management” with a robust team of colleagues in the field and a senior team above us.
