Pivot
Jenny Blake is a career and business strategist, as well as an international speaker, who helps individuals move past burnout and into fulfilling professions. She left Google after five and a half years in career development to launch her first book, Life After College, and has since established her own consulting business in New York City.
What comes next? In an economy where the typical work duration is barely four years, positions change continuously even within that period, and talented, ambitious people find themselves reaching professional plateaus, this is a question we must all ask and answer more frequently. But how can you weigh your options and move on without becoming bogged down?
Jenny Blake, a former Google training and career development specialist who now works as a career and business consultant and speaker, has a solution: the pivot. Pivoting is an important strategy for Silicon Valley tech companies and startups, but it may also be a successful strategy for individuals wishing to make career transitions. This book will introduce you to the Pivot Method and show you how to take tiny, logical moves to move your career in a new direction—now and in the future.
Jenny's counsel will help you move forward with confidence, regardless of your age, industry, or bank account status. Pivot also contains useful information for leaders who wish to engage more frequent career talks with their teams in order to help outstanding people move and advance within their roles and the larger organization. It is considered one of the best books on career development.
If the only constant is change, let's get better at it. Your ability to navigate change successfully is critical to your job success and satisfaction, and this book can assist you in doing so.
