PIVOT: MAP YOUR GROWTH FOR THE YEAR AHEAD

No matter your age, life stage, bank account balance, or career level, you can learn how to navigate uncertainty and change, while thinking about how to grow and make a greater impact — even within your current role.

Your best chance of success lies right under your feet. By doubling down on what is already working, you can cut through confusion and creatively experiment with small next steps. Pivoting is a mindset and a skillset, and it is one we can all get better at. This interactive session will provide a methodical plan to move forward, one that you can cycle through as many times as necessary.

This interactive session will resonate with anyone facing the question of what comes next by providing a methodical plan to move forward with career moves large and small.

The Pivot Method is a 4-stage process that will help you:

  • Identify existing strengths, interests and experiences, and define success one year from now

  • Scan the horizon for new related skills, people and projects, without falling prey to analysis-paralysis or compare-and-despair

  • Reduce risk by running small experiments that can provide feedback and help determine resonant next steps

  • Launch with confidence, bolstered by the skills and methodology to adjust seamlessly and continuously as you move in a new direction.

Includes:

  • 30-minute pre-event strategy session with Jenny

  • 45-60 minute interactive workshop — virtual or in-person

  • Time for Q&A with Jenny at the end

  • Optional: bulk rates if you’d like to include Pivot book purchase (we can accommodate shipping individually to distributed teams)

Pivot for Managers and Coaches: Best Practices for Holding 1:1 Career Conversations

Alternative Titles: Pivot: Powerful Tools for Creating Aha Moments in Career Conversations or Pivot: a Four-Stage Framework to Map Next Moves (and Help Others Do the Same) 

The Pivot Method® is about listening more than talking; exploring more than solving; and experimenting more than having all the answers. That goes for leaders too, especially during challenging times, when it's tempting to comfort others by jumping straight to problem-solving.  

In the first half of the session, Jenny Blake will walk us through the four-stage Pivot Method, a process that will help you coach others to:

  • Identify existing strengths, interests and experiences, and define success one year out

  • Scan the horizon for new skills, people and opportunities related to their role

  • Reduce risk by running small experiments and stretch projects

  • Launch next steps with confidence, bolstered by the skills and methodology to adjust seamlessly and continuously

During the second half, we'll focus on best practices for managers to enhance career coaching skills, with powerful questions and practical tips to make rapid progress in any conversation. You'll learn how to apply the Pivot Method framework to help team members set a powerful vision and map next moves even within their role—with a toolkit of simple questions to support employees’ ongoing career development.

Includes:

  • 30-minute pre-event strategy session with Jenny

  • 60-90 minute interactive workshop — virtual or in-person

  • Time for Q&A with Jenny at the end

  • Optional: bulk rates if you’d like to include Pivot book purchase (we can accommodate shipping individually to distributed teams)


Pivot Panel

Best following a keynote; helps illuminate the key concepts with powerful internal examples.

You will leave this session with powerful, practical takeaways you can implement as you map your own growth for the year ahead.

Includes:

  • 30-60 minute Pivot panel hosted by Jenny (can be stand-alone or following an interactive keynote)

  • Q&A from attendees (Jenny will help facilitate audience questions for the panelists)
