Pivot
by Jenny Blake
Blake's method for career change: plant (know your strengths and values), scan (explore options), pilot (run small experiments), launch (commit when the evidence supports it). It is structured and reassuring, with exercises, and treats change as a series of small moves rather than a leap.
Read it if…
you want to change direction and are paralyzed by the size of the decision.
Skip it if…
you already know your next step; the book is for the uncertain middle.
Three things you will actually use
- Pivot from strength; start with what works.
- Pilot before you launch.
- Set a decision date so the experiments end.
Do this first
List three small pilots, a side project, a conversation, a course, you could run in the next month.
Our verdict
Structured and calm; a sensible career-change method.
