Before COVID upended our daily routines, I wrote PIVOT Principles. A book about how to help others move through change which isn't always easy. The only thing we can really say about change is that it is constant and inevitable! Some people adapt easily to change and others push back and fight change or sabotage change. I use a cowboy model in the book to talk about the different types of people. There are trailblazers, settlers, stay at homes, and saboteurs.
The book is full of PIVOT Principles which are intended to help you move through change with minimum disruption and maximum joy. Here are a the PIVOT Principles.
