About this episode
The Pivot Playbook: Navigating Change with Confidence | Executive Masterclass with Krista Pacheco
Does the current market feel chaotic? Are you constantly reacting to interest rates, inventory shifts, and industry changes? In this Executive Masterclass, Krista Pacheco (VP of Transaction Operations at eXp Realty) reveals the difference between "Reacting" (panic) and "Pivoting" (strategy).
Krista breaks down the "William Bridges Transition Model" to help you understand why you feel stuck in the "Messy Middle" and delivers a tactical 7-Step Pivot Playbook to help you restructure your business without burning out.
If you are questioning your niche, your team structure, or your budget for 2026, this is the operational framework you need to make the right decision.
