In Pivot I ask what your sliding doors career/s might be: in a parallel
universe, if time, money and judgement from others were not a factor,
what other career paths could you see yourself taking?

I often play this game with friends even while going about life in New
York, calling out alternate reality careers when I see them. For example,
in one scenario I’m a book-color-coding consultant for wealthy people's
personal libraries, traveling up and down Manhattan and beautifying their
bookshelves. 

Another title that always fascinated me: Chief Operations Officer. All
those logistics and systems and processes, oh my! So I was thrilled to
discover this week’s guest, Lauren Letta, who serves in that very role at
charity:water. In this conversation we explore what it means to organize an
entire rapidly-growing organization, why role labels are overrated, her
best strategies for building scalable systems, and how to be open to
pivoting within a company even before you can spot specific opportunities.

This episode also coincides with World Water Day, a United Nations
observance day to increase global knowledge about water related issues,
that's coming up on Wednesday, March 22! World Water Day is a big moment
each year for charity: water as the organization continues to raise
awareness about the global water crisis.
