Pivot

"A brilliant, insightful read." --MORI TAHERIPOUR, author of Bring Yourself "Hustle is dead. It never worked very well, and now it's burning us out. Jenny Blake is back with a generous, helpful and more caring alternative." --SETH GODIN, author of This is Marketing "Wildly, wildly helpful. A chill, introvert-friendly birthday party for business owners . . . every page is a celebration. Free Time is, quite simply, a joy to read." --SARAH YOUNG, author of Expansive Impact Time is not money. Time is life force. Your time is far more precious than money. It is your presence, your memories, your quality of life. As a business owner, you are already paying a risk and pressure tax. For many, growth fueled by added stress is not worth the trade-off. You have an urge to simplify and streamline instead. Ask yourself: Are you consistently doing the work that you and only you can do? Or are you burdened by busywork, the bottleneck blocking your company's profit and potential? Free Time is not about working as little as possible. Nor is it about creating a lifestyle business purely for one's own gain. It is about creating a life-giving business energizing every single person who is a part of it, from the owner to team members, to clients and community. Free Time is about making small investments now to create greater optionality in the future. A more joyful business is within reach. Imagine: Traveling, going off the grid, or handling family emergencies without panicking that everything will fall apart while you are gone. Working 10- to 20-hour weeks, delegating the rest to a motivated, part-time remote team. Answering questions with relief, knowing you don't have to "own" the next steps. Empowering your Delightfully Tiny Team(TM) to answer their own questions before they even have to ask you. Harnessing your creative energy for the strategic projects that excite you most. Jenny Blake, author of the award-winning book Pivot and co-creator of Google's acclaimed Career Guru coaching program, is back with her signature blend of heart-based operating principles and practical tools. This book will teach you how to move from friction to flow through smarter systems and the three-stage Free Time Framework.(TM) Free Time is a playbook to free your mind, time, and team for your best work. This book will teach you and your team to operate efficiently and intuitively, while earning abundantly, so you can make your greatest contribution as a business owner. Let's dive in.

The Complete Guide to Getting What You Want

Life After College

“Looking to make a career change? Pivot is a book you will turn to again and again.”—Daniel H. Pink, author of To Sell Is Human and Drive If you've got the perfect job or business, congratulations. But if you are even a little bit uncertain that your current gig is the right one, it is time to start thinking about your next move. In the new world of work, it's the only move that matters. What's next? is a question we all have to ask and answer more frequently in an economy where the average job tenure is only four years, roles change constantly even within that time, and smart, motivated people find themselves hitting professional plateaus. But how do you evaluate options and move forward without getting stuck? Jenny Blake's solution: it's about small steps, not big leaps—and the answer is already right under your feet. This book will teach you how to pivot from a base of your existing strengths. Pivoting is a crucial strategy for Silicon Valley tech companies and startups. Jenny Blake—a former training and career development specialist at Google who now runs her own company as a career and business consultant and speaker—shows how pivoting can also be a successful strategy for individuals looking to make changes in their work lives, whether within their role, organization or business, or setting their sights on bigger shifts. When you pivot, you double down on your existing strengths and interests to move in a new, related direction, instead of looking so far outside of yourself for answers that you skip over your hard-won expertise and experience. It empowers you to navigate changes with flexibility and strength—now and throughout your entire career. Much like the lean business principles that took Silicon Valley by storm, pivoting is the crucial skill you need to stay agile, whether or not you are actively looking for a new position. No matter your age, industry, or bank account balance, Jenny's advice will help you move forward strategically. Her Pivot Method will teach you how to: · Double down on existing strengths, interests, and experiences. Identify what is working best and where you want to end up, then start to bridge the gap between the two. · Scan for opportunities and identify new skills without falling prey to analysis paralysis or compare and despair. Explore options by leveraging the network and experience you already have. · Run small experiments to determine next steps. Do side projects to test ideas for your next move, taking the pressure off so you don't need to have the entire answer up front. · Take smart risks to launch with confidence in a new direction. Set benchmarks to decide when the time is right to go all-in on your new direction. Pivot also includes valuable insight for leaders who want to have more frequent career conversations with their teams to help talented people pivot within their roles and the broader organization. No matter your current position, one thing is clear: your career success and satisfaction depends on your ability to determine your next best move. If change is the only constant, let's get better at it.

O que vem depois? é uma pergunta à qual todo mundo tem que responder ao longo da vida, principalmente no mundo corporativo atual, onde a mudança é uma constante. Para Jenny Blake, cocriadora do programa Career Guru do Google, todo novo passo na carreira precisa ser pensado, planejado e testado antes de ser executado; assim, as chances de dar certo serão muito maiores. Para auxiliar seus clientes a fazer uma transição suave e certeira na carreira  conhecida como pivô , Jenny criou o Método da Pivotagem. Composto de cinco etapas  Estabilização, Sondagem, Projetospiloto, Lançamento e Liderança , o método propõe diversas análises (paixão, situação financeira, pontos fortes e lacunas a ser preenchidas), a criação de uma rede de relacionamentos para futuras oportunidades, a realização de projetospiloto  que devem funcionar como um teste para ver se aquela atividade realmente corresponde às suas expectativas  e a definição da hora certa de colocar seu plano em prática. Com o Método da Pivotagem, você irá aprender a:  sondar as oportunidades e identificar novas habilidades sem cair na paralisia por excesso de análise e sem se desesperar ao se comparar com os outros;  realizar pequenos experimentos para determinar seu próximo passo;  assumir pequenos riscos para se lançar com confiança em uma nova direção. Independentemente de seu cargo atual e de sua idade, uma coisa é certa: seu sucesso e sua satisfação na carreira dependem da habilidade de determinar o próximo passo da melhor maneira possível. Se a mudança é uma constante, precisamos estar cada vez melhores nisso.
