WE ARE ALWAYS PIVOTING! 

WE PIVOT TO CONNECT WITH SOMETHING BIGGER THAN OURSELVES.

 

We are impelled to move away from stagnation, boredom and mind-numbing sameness; away from second guessing ourselves and relationships that limit our possibilities. We are moving toward experiencing more of who we really are—toward our passions, toward creating new value, toward feeling more refreshed and grounded.

But a pivot is not a reckless JUMP.

It is a deliberate move in the direction of a Big Impossible Goal or “B.I.G.” - a sequenced elemental equation of VISION, PASSIONS, TALENTS & GIFTS  that can be known and practiced.

 

It’s not an emotional egocentric move to avoid something or someone. It is not coming from a panicked knee-jerk reaction or from survival mode. It’s moving deeper into yourself and your center where your purpose, gifts and talents are. 

Yet too often it is in the area of our work, where we are giving most of our life’s energy and time, that this movement towards what really matters does not happen. So pivoting deeper into your B.I.G. might mean re-imagining your enterprise, your idea of work, the way you work and its place in your life now.

This event is an opportunity to meet other professionals, innovators, creatives and disruptors who are working on Big Impossible Goals. 

It is an opportunity to playfully connect and perhaps

PIVOT TOGETHER

Our guidelines and practices

Here are some practices that help us ensure that everyone gets the most fun out of our time together. 

  • SPEAK LESS / SPEAK MORE: If you tend not to speak, try speaking more. If you tend to speak a lot, try speaking less. Listen for the gold in what others are saying.
  • GIVE 100% : Whatever that is for you.
  • APPRECIATE / ADD VALUE:  Whenever possible add to the value that you are seeing and receiving.
  • BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR EMOTIONS & NEEDS:  Say what you feel and need without attributing blame.
  • GIVE FIRST WHAT YOU WANT TO RECEIVE:  There is enough for everyone and we each have what the other needs.

These are practices that help us to hold the space safely and open for an adventure-filled time together!

“…This event provides purpose-filled questions, which is a wonderful way to be in community and to expand my network.”

For over 25 years he has worked with diverse leaders in the United States, the UK, Africa and the Caribbean; leaders who are thinking collectively, working cooperatively, and acting globally in the fields of Well-Being, Social Justice, Economic Empowerment, Equity and Community Development. 

He is the author of two books on life purpose and life balance: BLOOM, The Essential Journey, A New Guide to Balance Growth & Well Being, and FINDING YOUR B.I.G. — Finding New Purpose In A Changing World. In them he introduces a new way of thinking and asking fundamental questions based on the five elements that grow and balance life. This body of thought is called “The Philosophy of BLOOMING.”

Olubode is the founder of the BLOOM | Education — a learning institute that uses his Philosophy of BLOOMING to help visionary and creative leaders negotiate the challenges of expanding their enterprises while keeping themselves well.

 "Olubode taught me how to think, shift and bloom. During the formative years of my career his coaching and mentorship created a powerful environment to test and examine my modern ambitions and be held accountable, while balancing the spiritual scaffolding of my parents and ancestors. With his guidance my chaotic mindset was unearthed and a new type of thinking emerged. I am successful because of it. That foundation orders my world and informs my decisions every day."
