Blake, a former Google career development specialist and author of Life After College, presents a five-stage (Plant, Scan, Pilot, Launch, Lead) career development process for new and seasoned professionals exploring fresh occupational options. She defines "pivoting" as an "intentional, methodical process for nimbly navigating career changes." Similar to many popular career coaching strategies, Blake's recommendations include a number of tried-and-true approaches, such as examination and clarification of personal values and work-related strengths; identifying allies; networking; and testing the career waters through internships, volunteering, and work projects. Citing such diverse sources as entrepreneur Steve Jobs, writer Joseph Campbell, and comedian Jerry Seinfeld, Blake applies the principles of "lean" business practices to personal and professional development. VERDICT Well-researched, well-written, and well-organized, this book will appeal to those willing to invest time, energy, and effort into the process of "pivoting" their careers for the better.--Alan Farber, Univ, of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
