Are we capable of pivoting?

If you are to look at any successful long term company’s they have made pivots and leaps that at the time seems insane, but we’re making moves to benefit the future of the world. Based on their just cause

The fear of change or failure does not stop these businesses from taking drastic measures to keep growing and succeeding. Walt Disney was not content with how his movies were being produced and shifted completely to a new company when things were already successful. You may be asking, "I never heard he started a new company". That creation was Disney world. An amusement park at that time was not successful overall and people thought it was a major risk. But Disney wanted an experience that could continually evolve. He did not like that once a movie is created, its done. You can't add to it, and for some, you watch it once and never again. An amusement park on the other hand can evolve with each new movie, series tread or anything unimaginable at the current moment.

The risk was major for most who couldn't see his bigger vision. Critics couldn't understand why when things were going so well in his movie industry.

Things are going well enough-ish in our schools. Students are coming out and succeeding (enough) in careers.

But there is so much uptapped potential of how we can be educating our students. We can pivot. It will be scary, it will ruffle feathers. It will lead to a lot of conversations, discussions and fears. But if we allow ourselves to pivot, change our current structure so that students are ready for any unknown or untapped futures/potential.

The fear lives in comfortability.

We need to courage and gumption to make a pivot. And for it to stick, we need our WHY to drive us to something we can't quite envision yet.
