About This Podcast

#zigszagsandpivots explores what it really takes to navigate change—when the path isn't straight, the plan shifts, or life nudges you (sometimes firmly) in a new direction. Each episode dives into honest conversations about leadership, identity, resilience, and decision-making, featuring voices you can learn from: experienced leaders, thoughtful practitioners, and everyday people who've faced pivotal moments and chosen to move forward anyway. These aren't polished success stories—they're real reflections on what holds steady, what evolves, and what carries us through transition. Whether you're standing at a crossroads, leading through uncertainty, or simply rethinking what's next, this podcast offers perspective, insight, and the reassurance that you're not navigating change alone. #zigszagsandpivots is brought to you by the Leader Transition Institute.
