The Pivot Rules: How Leaders Navigate Career Setbacks Without Breaking

When BJ Coleman's coaching staff told him "you're no longer a member of the Saskatchewan Rough Riders—find your own way home," he faced the question every professional dreads: W𝗵𝗼 𝗮𝗺 𝗜 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆? Most organizations treat career transitions like logistical problems to solve. Move people from Column A to Column B. Update the org chart. Send the announcement email. But here's what we've learned from our research: 𝟳𝟭% 𝗼𝗳 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗲𝘀 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝟮𝟰 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀, 𝘆𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝟯𝟲% 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁. The difference? Organizations that understand transitions trigger real grief—and create space to process it. BJ Coleman didn't just survive a career pivot. He developed a framework for navigating the identity crisis that comes with it. In this conversation, he shares the eight rules that guided his transition from NFL quarterback to CEO, including why it took him seven years to write the chapter on grief, what the "iceberg principle" reveals about your transferable skills, and 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴.
