The idea of pivoting our business model, our careers, or our personal lives can be very daunting. Often, we’re so absorbed in what we’re doing that we fail to see the warning signs that we should make a move.

Come by for a candid discussion on pivoting in the business world. How to be proactive, when to start preparing, what steps to take, and how to set goals to make sure you (or your organization) makes a smooth transition.

We’ll hear from some of Seattle’s business leaders who have successfully pivoted with their career or organization.
