Pivot to Good Podcast

Have you ever looked at the career you have built, the skills and the experience, and asked yourself whether all of it could be doing more good? We have.

We are Katya and Marina, two former management consultants and colleagues who, after many years in the corporate world, moved our careers towards impact. Since then we have realised how many experienced, talented people want their work to matter more, and how hard it is to know where to contribute, how your skills translate and where you would be most useful. The world of social and environmental impact can be messy. There are many ways in, and the best path is rarely obvious, especially for people coming from the private sector.

Pivot to Good is a series of real conversations with people who have shifted their careers towards social and environmental impact. We talk about what prompted their pivot, what helped them make the move and what happened afterwards. And we go beyond the polished success stories, into money, identity, status, family, uncertainty, and the skills that transfer and the ones that do not.

This is not a podcast telling everyone to quit their job and join a non-profit. A pivot to good can mean changing sectors, building something new, creating change from within a company, or finding a different way to use your skills and experience for more impact.

Follow the show and explore the impact world with us, so you can decide what a pivot to good could mean for you.
