PIVOT?

Imagine the central point being where you or your business stand today. That central point, pin, or shaft drives how your business performs. Now, consider the opportunities and challenges your business must embrace or face to grow. How you PIVOT swivel or turn to face these challenges or opportunities is crucial to building on what’s going well or adjusting when your business is challenged or disrupted.

PIVOT is a practical solution for business owners and managers who need to make decisions quickly and effectively. It offers easy access to a skilled facilitator and a structured process to help you strategize. We don’t stop at thinking; we move immediately to action. We include a Pivot Action Plan to guide and support you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you a licensed counselor or therapist?

Nope. I am a facilitator. I have studied, taught, and facilitated creative process for over 20 years. I apply appropriate methods, along with practical experience gained in my 40-year marketing, sales management, and leadership training and development career, to help clarify measurable outcomes and a plan to get the job done.

No buzz words here. Pivot’s theme is “a little less talk and a lot more action!” Built to dig into your current situation, Pivot will get you unstuck so that your business can turn toward what matters to your customers, ultimately focusing resources and creativity on what matters.

Public speakers, thought leaders, meeting planners often use the word “facilitate” to describe everything from giving a lecture, to leading exercises in a group, to planning a meeting and being there to make sure it comes off without a hitch. None of that describes what I do.

I apply all of my experience to make taking action more accessible for you. I am an empathic and active listener who has created a system of asking the right questions, then providing detailed and action-oriented feedback. My only agenda is to help you discover the “what’s next?’ for you and your business that will put you on the right track.

PIVOT is a series of three remote 45-minute appointments. In addition to the live meetings, you’ll probably need to set aside 30 minutes of self-guided thinking time to get ready for each session.

Each appointment builds on the next session. After each call, you will get a summary of pivot points leading to potential outcomes, projects, and timebound action steps to keep your projects moving forward.

PIVOT starts with the individual business leader. No matter how many people are involved eventually, it all begins with the person who, in process language, “owns the problem.” Why? Because you set the direction. The success or failure of any plan depends on how clearly the obstacle or opportunity is defined. That starts with you.

PIVOT is powered by Cinnamon Sparks, which is a facilitation services business specializing in strategic planning projects that involve a wide variety of stakeholders of your choosing. Of course, I’d love to develop a custom program to engage your team when the time is right.
