Pivot: The Only Move That Matters is Your Next One by Jenny Blake
5.0
Many will see the categories and other reviews for this book, and think it is only for people focusing on changing careers.
They would be unfortunately incorrect and missing out.
Blake's book, Pivot, does focus a lot on career and professional choices that many successful (or on their way to successful) people have made that put them in their current position. It offers resources, exercises, worksheets, and more to design a comprehensive guide for anyone who wants *more* from their daily 9-5 (or freelancing career or self-employment or...)
The basic takeaway from Pivot is just that - PIVOT! (This is best read in a screaming Ross voice from the tv show "Friends")
We all deserve to do work we love.
But in today's working world, this often means that we have to create our own happiness and destiny in our careers. That may mean adjusting the tasks of your current position, plotting a trajectory for future potential that is what YOU want instead of what has historically been the "corporate ladder" in your field, breaking out on your own for self-employment and freelancing at something you excel in, or scrapping it all together and starting a whole new path.
Regardless of your journey, you must be adaptable and learn the essential art of pivoting - knowing how to plan your next moves (more important) that will lead your overall goal (still important, but less than the pivots that will get you there - at least right now!)
Consider this book your roadmap for doing just that!
