A snow skier who lacks control of his skis and exercises a series of ever accelerating sliding turns with flapping clothes and skis. You must beware for danger of being hit.
As I was skiing out at Whistler I was almostslayed by a "stivotting flapper."
When a simple change in direction isn’t enough, a shivot is a more intentional, energized move, adjusting not just what you’re doing, but how you’re doing it. Often used in business, careers, or life when momentum matters as much as direction.
“We didn’t justpivot after the feedback—we shivoted and completely rethought our approach.”
