Pivot: The Only Move That Matters Is Your Next One

by Jenny Blake

Give: Impact on Others What impact do you want to have on your family and friends? On your local community? On the global community? What types of information and resources are you most excited to share with others? If you were invited to speak at TED, and you knew your talk would go viral and be seen by at least one million people, what message would you send? Receive: What You Want to Experience What result will your contributions to friends, family, and society have on your own life? What major life experiences, work or personal, are most exciting to you? How do you want to feel on a daily basis while pursuing them? Who do you want to meet? Take a look at your bookshelf, Kindle, blog, or podcast subscriptions. What themes stand out? When you go into a bookstore, which section do you beeline toward, and what does that say about you? Achieve: Specific Results What does success look like one or two years from now? What will be happening in your life and work? What are your metrics for measuring financial or professional success? What achievements will indicate that you are having the impact you seek? Imagine an award ceremony in your honor. What organization is giving the award, and for what are you being recognized?
