To all you creative minds out there... In this same letter (please see my previous posts) they write:
Beide Ziele haben wir in der Vergangenheit bis heute umsetzen können, ohne uns dabei um die eigene Achse zu drehen.
Can I work with something like "spinning/revolving on/around our own axis"?

at every turn

IMO, the point is not so much the actual phrase, but continuing to use the word turn.
