In recent weeks, we have seen the resignation of two prominent women in the public eye who had been ascending professionally: Jennie Bradley Lichter and Karoline Leavitt. The question some are asking is, should they have? Is it “okay to pivot?”

We've all been there in one form or another: a misunderstanding with a team member, a week where every deadline seems to fall, a project that just seems to meet one obstacle after the other. During challenging times at work, we can lose sight of the big picture and get stuck dragging our feet through the muck.
