Sticky situations come in many forms, but what they have in common is that they’re stressful, uncomfortable, and no fun to deal with.

I probably don’t have to sell you on the idea that we live in interesting times. You might even be tempted to call them stressful – I know I would. For trans people and our allies, there has never been so much attention and opportunity to make meaningful change in the world, including in the workplace.

As an innovation and creativity consultant, I spend my days working with clients who want to change their mindsets, skills, behaviors, organizational systems, and cultures to better embrace change. I counsel clients on pivoting (thinking, products, services, and more), but what is the biggest pivot you can make? A hard quit.
