Summary of Jenny Blake's Pivot

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Plant stage is the crux of your pivot. You will develop the most leverage in this stage. The primary goal of the Plant stage is grounding. Rather than aimlessly searching out there, you start from a strong foundation of your core values and a clear understanding of your strengths and interests. #2 What is not working is simply not all that helpful except as an indicator of what you do want. If your mind jumps back to what isn’t working, follow up by asking what the opposite would be. What do you want instead. #3 When you are searching for a place to stay on Airbnb, you narrow down the choices based on price, location, size, and amenities. Your dream room might be someone else's nightmare. Clarifying your values and vision is one of the biggest accelerators during a pivot. #4 Your next career move should reflect your core values. If you are paying attention and taking enough quiet time to reflect, each area you explore will provide you with its own hot or cold signal. Do not let these cold indicators discourage you.
