The shift and pivot podcast
When life gives you lemons,
make a latte!
Together, Erika and Elliot decided to create this inspirational podcast during one of their monthly “happy hour and destress” sessions. The idea was birthed from a famous saying of Erika’s, “When life gives you lemons, make a latte,” which is basically letting go of everything you know to become a better you—aka, Shift and Pivot.
With their 35 years of professional HR experience, Erika and Elliot spent countless hours listening to people share their personal stories of how unpredictable life can be. When you combine that experience with Erika’s direct and witty personality and Elliot’s listening and conversation skills, you get the perfect chemistry needed for the Shift and Pivot podcast.
They hope that by listening to these thought-provoking, heart-pondering, and funny stories their guests tell each week, listeners won’t have to feel alone when they make their own life-altering decisions.
