When talking to someone, try to reach beyond the surface by asking more meaningful questions. One action you could take: The next time you're talking to someone, ask more questions that start with “why, what, or how.”Adopt a helpful mindset. When you learn something new with the intent of helping others, you'll internalize the information and better understand it. One action you could take: Before you begin learning, ask yourself, “How will this information position me to help others?”Set up experiments. When you experiment on new ideas, with no commitment to the outcome, you'll begin to see patterns emerge and give you more direction. One action you could take: Choose one experiment to test an idea you have and see where it leads. Be observant. Step back and be an observer of your own life to see what direction you should take next. One action you could take: Observe your life for two weeks, then take note of what energized you and what drained you. Use this information to maximize your time.Plan for free time. When you intentionally work towards having more free time, you'll reach a more balanced level of success. One action you could take: Ask yourself, “What action can I do today that will free up more time for fun in the future?” Then schedule time to do it. Guest ResourcesPrepare for your next career move with Jenny's award-winning book and podcast, The Pivot Method.

Hello Lovely Listeners! This is my first solo episode in a while. I hope you enjoyed my conversations with Kathy Oneto, Heather Ussery-Knight, Stephanie Lindloff, and Patrick Geary.  Today I want to give you a useful model for thinking about how to ride the waves of change that are inevitable with more grace and ease.  I mention the article I recently wrote for my Substack Newsletter on the What it Means to be Human in a world of Artificial Intelligence.  Using my "marital pivot" (definitely a spiritual pivot, if there ever was one) I explain Jenny Blake's Pivot model which includes: 1) Plant 2) Scan 3) Pilot  4) Launch More about this idea can be found in Jenny's book, Pivot - The Only Move that Matters is Your Next One, and at her Pivot Method website here.  This is such a useful way to think about change. What people usually skip for forget is the process of planting ourselves where we are and taking stock of our strengths, values, and interests. We need to do this before reaching out to scan, so we can move with our own internal compass, which is our embodied wisdom, to a direction that's a fit for us.  As we pilot different options, we can think of these small experiments as windows into our next step, or possibly like horses at the Kentucky Derby. We gather data to see where we might want to go next.  This is a helpful reduction of risk stage before we go into an "all out" launch and take a bigger step.  What I love about this model is that it's cyclical and it's more of a mindset than just a set of activities we need to follow. Change is a constant, so Jenny helps us get better at it, developing this metaskill of pivot as a life skill.  I applied it to my relationship, because I was seeing all the parallels here. Maybe in a future episode I can unpack one of my (many) career pivots so you can see how it applies there as well. Better yet, read Jenny's book if you're interested in this topic. Jenny Blake hosts the Pivot and Free Time podcasts, and she is a wise soul. Full disclosure that I'm a part of Jenny's BFF Circle Community.

Jenny Blake is an author and podcaster who helps entrepreneurs move from friction to flow through smarter systems, powered by Delightfully Tiny Teams. Her third book, “Free Time,” launches March 22 — and it's just in time for me! It's easy to get caught up in just getting things done without really stopping to think how it could get done faster or better, or if you're really the right person to be getting it done at all. And "Free Time" is made specifically for people who are struggling with busywork, what Jenny calls the bottleneck in the way of your profit and potential. After reading the book, I've been thinking about my business and what I do in it completely differently, and I'm so excited for the rest of the world to get ahold of this. Anyone who preorders a hardcover or ebook edition prior to 3/22/22 is eligible for the https://itsfreetime.com/bogogo (Buy One, Get One, Give One) bonus. They can submit their receipt to receive instant, early access to the audiobook edition, with instructions on how to gift one early copy of the audiobook to a friend. What is “Free Time?” We talked to Jenny back in https://www.conniewsteele.com/episodes/76 (episode 76) to discuss career pivoting, a topic that only got more important as the pandemic continued and we saw some huge changes to the workforce. She offers an easy-to-follow framework with The Pivot Method, and that's one of the reasons we really appreciate Jenny as a podcast guest and an author — she always offers concrete systems and tactics that anyone can leverage. “Pivot” was about adapting to change. If change is the only constant, how do we get better at it? And how do we more strategically map what's next, particularly by starting with small pilots and experiments.  “Free Time” is about optimizing what's here now. So within our current role, how can we reduce the level of overwhelm, burnout, and busywork that we typically face in our business?  Many business owners and even leaders of organizations have had this need to control everything where we become the Chief Everything Officer. There is often a fear that if these activities are not within our domain of control, then we're not going to get to the outcome you want. Which then leads to stress and stress is a systems problem.  The ultimate goal of “Free Time” is what Jenny calls High Net Freedom. This is freedom of choice; what we work on, when we work on it, and with whom. You're optimizing for time and energy, not just money. The “Free Time” Framework: Align, Design, Assign The Free Time framework is composed of three stages intended to help you spot important trends in how you work so that you can simplify, streamline, and de-stress.  1. Align. The first stage is about aligning a project or an area of the business to your values, energy, and strengths. The goal is to understand what is giving your energy and what is taking it away. It's about figuring out, should you be doing this in the first place? And if something about the work is not aligned, how can you realign it and recalibrate? Think about how you are systematizing the spirit of your business and remember there's no point in optimizing something that no longer needs to be done. Your values are an important piece of this because they provide the logic for you and your team to make the relevant tradeoffs and decisions when there are tough choices to make. But it's important to communicate that logic to everyone else because they have to understand what those values truly look like in practice. 2. Design. The second stage asks us to be really intentional about the ideal outcomes and impact, and even designing a process for how you want to work on something. This is where you start to think about how to map out what to do and how to do it.   You can't just decide you want to stop doing busywork and drop it all. You have to be intentional and design how...

On today's podcast, Lisa Lewis Miller, author and founder of Career Clarity, joins us to explore how we can stay centered while making a career change. Lisa emphasizes the importance of exploring our values, who we want to be, what lifestyle we want to have before taking action. Most of us can get stressed and overwhelmed in the job searching process, but Lisa explains the key to managing overwhelm is by taking such small steps we hardly feel like we are taking action. For instance, start by telling a trusted friend you are interested in making a career move! She explains how this is a powerful practice that creates a snowball of effects. Lisa also drops wisdom for how perfectionists and people-pleasers can use mindfulness to untangle from unhelpful patterns and actually find work that fuels their soul.

Sometimes both: we get pivoted, and we choose how to respond and adapt, creating a new order from chaos as we strengthen ourselves as organizations and individuals.” In this week’s Work From The Inside Out podcast, learn about Jenny’s work and professional journey: After two years at a technology start-up in Silicon Valley, followed by five years in Training and Career Development at Google, Jenny moved to New York City in 2011 where she has been running her company ever since, helping innovative organizations like Google and Microsoft incorporate the Pivot Method into their global career development and manager training programs.  Jenny has always liked to write and earlier in her career wrote her first book, Life After College: The Complete Guide To Getting What You Want Learn more and connect with Jenny here: http://www.pivotmethod.com/ https://twitter.com/jenny_blake https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennyblake https://www.instagram.com/pivotmomentum/ https://www.facebook.com/pivotbook/ http://www.pivotmethod.com/podcast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ-nun3N5_8xNQvzTct1Oxg Listen, subscribe and read show notes at www.tammygoolerloeb.com/podcasts/ - episode 081

How do we help others navigate change, particularly during moments of crisis? In this episode, I’m including a replay from another recent workshop I delivered on March 25: Pivot for Managers, Mentors, and Coaches. This mirrors the keynote I give within organizations around helping managers and coaches improve their career conversation capabilities, but I have shifted (ahem—pivoted) the content to more directly address what we’re all going through now. Listen for strategies and reflection questions on how to apply the Pivot Method as a coaching tool, even just to help others envision one day, one week, or one month from now.

“Pivoting” might seem like a dirty word in business, but Jenny Blake has learned to embrace it. Not only that, but she’s built her career around it, becoming a business strategist, keynote speaker, and author who teaches others the positive value of pivoting. Blake is the author of Pivot: The Only Move That Matters Is Your Next One, and the creator of the Pivot Method, which distills all the wisdom she’s gained throughout her career to teach you how to change your business direction without falling on your face. Blake learned the virtues of pivoting by doing it many times throughout her career. After spending two years at a technology startup in Palo Alto, she landed a job at Google as a product trainer for AdWords. She stayed there for five years, training more than 1,000 employees and building her public speaking and career coaching skills, before she pivoted once more and set out to become a solopreneur. She now speaks and holds workshops on the Pivot Method around the world, at companies like Intuit and Pimco, universities like Yale and MIT, and conferences like TEDxCMU and the World Domination Summit. She also runs the Pivot Podcast, which started as a passion project while she was writing Pivot and has grown into a forum for world-renowned authors and businesspeople to share their advice on how to seize opportunities and pivot like pros. Jenny has so many great stories and insights to share in our interview, from the health benefits of practicing yoga to why reading will make you a better person. She also talks about how to get over your fears of public speaking, how meditation will make you a better entrepreneur, and how you can use the Pivot Method to succeed in business and improve your personal life.

If setting revenue targets gives you anxiety about launching something new, you are not alone. When we put pressure on ourselves to hit a specific number by the end of a launch, we tend to forget about the people involved. So, what if we reframed the way we thought about marketing a launch? What if we focused on attracting the community we genuinely want to spend time with? What if we played to our strengths to design a launch experience we could LOVE? *** This episode falls under the P of Promotion of The Gentle Marketing Mandala.

Pop quiz: What's one of the biggest hurdles to pursuing meaningful work? The belief that it won't pay enough to be worth it. That if you give your full heart, you won't be compensated in return, and the job will take (and take and take…) from you until you're completely drained.  There's lots of evidence to support this frustrating belief. You've probably heard plenty of tragic stories about public school teachers who can't afford to buy a home or social workers drowning in tens of thousands of dollars of student loan debt. And despite these options seeming like they doom you to living paycheck to paycheck…people willingly choose these paths all the time. And a number of them have found ways to do it while also making *good* money (without relying on a spouse or being a trust fund baby). You might think they're unicorns, but more people than you think have cracked the code on creating a lucrative living and financially thriving while doing meaningful work.  SHOW NOTES: Read more about Jordan Raynor Master of One: Find and Focus on the Work You Were Meant To Do RSVP Now for a Masterclass on the Pivot Method!

Stay In Touch With Jenny Website Jenny’s Podcast FREE Founder Time Course by Jenny  LinkedIn Twitter Instagram Facebook Show Notes For my first interview on Your Yes Life Now Podcast, I had to invite my dear friend Jenny Blake back onto the show. As the author of Pivot, she was the perfect guest for this episode. We begin the conversation with the question “what are we saying yes to?” Jenny shares that saying yes for her is also saying I she is her first priority and that means that her health, her wellness, her rest, her space, her sanity is her first priority – a lesson we can all learn to be better at. The yes for Jenny and her yes life is about honoring who she is and giving herself permission to say no so that she’s really clear and joyful when she does say yes. We talk about burnout and how quickly it can loom upon us if we are not careful. Jenny shares that having awareness of our own tendencies is so crucial. And then what she offers for us when we do find ourselves in a state of burnout, is to flood ourselves with self-compassion. So instead of the self-talk that burnout is a problem, flip the conversation to be able to say to yourself -  I can see that you've been working so hard and I see how much you've done. She goes on to share that If she is worried about someone else's wellness more than her own and she hasn't yet done her basics of movement, hydration, eating well, sleep, then she reminds herself to rewind so that she can stay full to help and love those around her. Jenny’s life mantra is “Let it be easy, let it be fun.” And for her, this is a lens she uses when making decisions about her life and work. As this show was recorded at the end of 2019 we talk about our words for the upcoming year. Mine is Financial Freedom, which moved us into a conversation about money, worth and income. We speak about money being energy and that if we allow ourselves to take the restrictions and the fears and the worries away and we allow full abundance to flow through us, we can serve others, we can serve the world, we can create more, we can reach more, we can donate to charities and we can earn more and share more. We move onto the topic of time and Jenny invites us to question what we have been told about traditional working hours and what it takes to be successful. Jenny wants 2020 to be a year where she can simplify. She shares that she has just blocked off her calendar in 2020. She has blocked out the fourth week of every month along with I blocking off Mondays and Fridays. She is going to experiment with compressing her time and elevating her focus with an estimated total of 1000 working hours in 2020. Jenny’s word is luxurious and we both share that our words for 2020 feel a little uncomfortable and we invite you to pick a word for 2020 that is a stretch word – one that makes you feel a little pushed and challenged. Jenny is both spontaneous and also a genius as systems. She also has a mantra that comes from the agile development word and that is - each time you repeat a task, take one step toward automating it. What that means is saving yourself the time. Being kind to your future self. If you find yourself writing an email, giving directions to your home, or any task that you can anticipate you're going to do move it into a system that can be replicated. Jenny and I both believe that you can be successful on your own terms and that it takes courage and perseverance to figure out what works for you and your life and on your terms. With that as we move into 2020, both Jenny and I wish you a journey that is easy and fun -and has systems in place to help you out along the way.

No matter our age, life stage, bank account balance, or seniority, we are all being asked to navigate career changes much more frequently than in years past. The average employee tenure in America is just four to five years, and even those roles change dramatically within that time. Our economy now demands that we create businesses and careers based on creativity, growth, and impact. In this dynamic world of work, the only move that matters is your next one. Drawing from her own experience and those of other successful pivoters, Jenny Blake has created a four-stage process that teaches anyone how to seamlessly and continually: Double-down on existing strengths, interests, and experiences Find new opportunities and identify skills to develop without falling prey to analysis-paralysis and compare-and-despair Run small experiments to determine next steps Take smart risks to launch with confidence in a new direction Whether you have hit a plateau in your perfect-on-paper job, are considering taking on a new role in your current job, are thinking about starting your own business, or you want to move into a new industry altogether, one thing remains clear: your career success depends on your ability to determine your next best move.

You might also like the So Good They Can’t Ignore You episode of Steph’s Business Bookshelf.   BIG IDEA 1 (6:51) – This is not about passion. This is about embracing your strengths and experiences and using these to take you forward. It is about intentional shifts in different directions.  It is acknowledging that careers are not linear anymore; more like a jungle gym – you’ll go a few rungs on the traditional ladder, swing over to another side, down the slide and back up the climbing net throughout your career. Passion doesn’t mean that you’re good at something or that a particular career will be satisfying for you. It’s about planning, thinking, testing and moving. It’s not about blindly following your passion and hoping it will take you all the way. It’s important to recognise the idea that you can pivot within companies or your own business, you don’t have to just become an entrepreneur as your next career move. For example you might be a lawyer who wants to stay being a lawyer but wants to do it in a different market or industry. Jenny uses a couple of terms throughout the book – people who are ‘high net growth’ are those who always reflect on what they learned, what their contribution was and the value they added. These people are impactors, they have the mindset to be different, are intentional and having discipline. BIG IDEA 2 (9:18) – You need to plan career moves like a netball player. Jenny has a five-part pivot method that you can use to plan and implement your next career move. The four main parts are plant, scan, pilot and launch. Plant is about putting a pin on it – where do you want to be a year from now and setting that direction. Looking from within and knowing your values, strengths and experiences and your financial situation. Part 2 is scan which is about looking at your options. Knowing the people, skills and opportunities that you need to move forward. This is about scanning your skills gap and how to bridge them. A big part of scan is being discoverable and letting people know what you’re doing or considering. Part 3 is pilot. Pilot is a series of mini experiments to test your move idea in the real world and then reviewing them and reflecting on them – thinking about what works and what doesn’t. Part 4 is launch, which is setting your criteria and knowing your values. Jenny talks about value hexagon which shows you where your risk tolerance is, how you value and feel about risk and knowing when to hold and when to fold when launching. Finally, part 5 is lead. This is how you can use the pivot method as a leader in your organization. This helps people better plan their career and helps you have better career conversation with your team members. These are well thought intentional steps you take to see what works next, to move and pivot in the right direction. BIG IDEA 3 (13:21) – Experiment. This requires you to put yourself out there. There’s always things to make and things to change. You just have to try… Music By: The Future Is Now – Instrumental Version Song by MARLOE.

It's not very often that you get to interview someone who's been a mentor for years. What a joy to share with you my interview with the one and only Jenny Blake!

Jenny Blake is an author, speaker, and business strategist based in New York City. As I describe in this episode, there was just something about Jenny's energy that captured me years ago when I first discovered her work, and I’ve been considered her a mentor (now friendtor!) ever since. Jenny has created a body of work around her concept, The Pivot Method, which is used in a variety of small and large organizations, by individuals via Pivot coaching and reading her book of the same name, and through the Pivot Podcast. But her work goes so much deeper than just talking about career development — she bridges concepts like fluidity, flexibility, openness, ease, and joy in career & business to all aspects of life. Ultimately, Jenny is a great example of running a business with full integrity and in alignment with the kind of life she wants to live — which is why I’ve loved being a member of her Momentum private community. Momentum will be re-opening its doors with some massive new offerings in October, and you can get on the interest list here if you want to be the first to know. I loved having this conversation with Jenny, and I hope you love listening to it — if you do, please share it with a friend! ABOUT JENNY BLAKE Jenny Blake is an author, career and business strategist and international speaker who helps people move beyond burnout to build sustainable, dynamic careers they love. She is the author of Pivot: The Only Move That Matters is Your Next One, which won the Axiom Best Business Books award in the careers category. Jenny also hosts the popular Pivot Podcast, which CNBC listed among 6 podcasts to make you smarter about your career, and Entrepreneur selected as one of the top 20 female-hosted business podcasts.

"The secret to predicting the future is to get better at understanding the present." —Rohit Bhargava, Non-Obvious 2018 Edition: How to Predict Trends and Win the Future I've always been fascinated by futurists and trend spotters (turns out the latter is a myth). How do they see trends coming before the rest of us? What are they doing to sift through the noise to extrapolate a clear signal of where things are heading? Turns out, true to the Pivot Method, that the key to predicting the future lies right under our feet: we just need to get better at understanding how to spot ideas, capture them effectively, and sift through them. Enter this week's guest, trend curator (What's that, you ask? You'll find out!) Rohit Bhargava. I'm super excited to help us all get a jump on the new year with a conversation about how we can all become better trend curators and apply Rohit's Haystack Method: gather idea hay first, then sit down to find the needles or key themes. We also had fun diving into 7 of his 15 trends for 2018 more closely; our combined list includes: lightspeed learning, approachable luxury, human mode, touchworthy, truthing, enlightened consumption, and manufactured outrage.

Author, coach and career change expert, Jenny Blake, joins Rob and Kira in The Copywriter Club Podcast studio this week to talk about why she organizes her book shelf by color : ). We also talk about her book, Pivot: The Only Move that Matters is Your Next One. But this isn’t just a pitch for Jenny’s book.

Rob: What if you could hang out with seriously talented copywriters and other experts, ask them about their successes and failures, their work processes and their habits, then steal an idea or two to inspire your own work? That’s what Kira and I do every week at The Copywriter Club Podcast. Kira: You’re invited to join the Club for episode 41, as we chat with author and career strategist Jenny Blake about her Pivot Method and what it means for copywriters and others who might be wondering what’s next, leaving Google to start her own business, dealing with burnout, and whether she really organizes the books on her shelf by color, not subject. Rob: Hey, Kira. Hey, Jenny. Kira: Hello. Jenny: Hey, thank you so much for having me. Yes, indeed, I organize by color, but I will tell you, I know where every book is because the color imprint stays in my mind. It’s really easy to zoom in, like, “Oh, yeah, that was a red book, it’s over here.” It’s not as confusing as you might think. Rob: I think a lot of writers, if they go to your website, they’re going to see the video or the pictures that you’ve got of your bookshelf. That’s one of the first things, I’m like, “Oh my gosh, all of the white books are together.” Kira: I know. I love it. Rob: “All of the green books are together.” Jenny: Oh, yeah. Rob: It makes me laugh. Jenny: The funny thing is I’ve honed this thing over three or four years of living in the same apartment, so I’ll be watching TV and I’m like, “Oh, that book needs to move one slot to the left.” What you see, it’s like my bonsai tree. I just get to prune at it every single day. What you don’t see is the back of this Ikea shelf is all the reject books that don’t have a pretty color. Rob: That is too funny. Jenny, I think a lot of our listeners may not know who you are, have seen your work. You’ve got a fantastic book that we definitely want to talk about, but maybe you could start by just telling us a little bit about your story....

“Pivoting” might seem like a dirty word in business, but Jenny Blake has learned to embrace it. Not only that, but she’s built her career around it, becoming a business strategist, keynote speaker, and author who teaches others the positive value of pivoting. Blake is the author of Pivot: The Only Move That Matters Is Your Next One, and the creator of the Pivot Method, which distills all the wisdom she’s gained throughout her career to teach you how to change your business direction without falling on your face. Blake learned the virtues of pivoting by doing it many times throughout her career. After spending two years at a technology startup in Palo Alto, she landed a job at Google as a product trainer for AdWords. She stayed there for five years, training more than 1,000 employees and building her public speaking and career coaching skills, before she pivoted once more and set out to become a solopreneur. She now speaks and holds workshops on the Pivot Method around the world, at companies like Intuit and Pimco, universities like Yale and MIT, and conferences like TEDxCMU and the World Domination Summit. She also runs the Pivot Podcast, which started as a passion project while she was writing Pivot and has grown into a forum for world-renowned authors and businesspeople to share their advice on how to seize opportunities and pivot like pros. Jenny has so many great stories and insights to share in our interview, from the health benefits of practicing yoga to why reading will make you a better person. She also talks about how to get over your fears of public speaking, how meditation will make you a better entrepreneur, and how you can use the Pivot Method to succeed in business and improve your personal life. In this episode with Jenny Blake, you’ll learn: — Why you should be listening to the Pivot Podcast — How realizing that courage is hard will help you succeed — How to use your job as training for entrepreneurship — How to conquer a fear of public speaking — Exercises you can do to calm your nerves and clear your mind — How meditating will make you a better entrepreneur — Why you should be doing yoga — How to be more successful by taking care of your mental and physical health — How to use the Pivot Method to improve your personal life — How to successfully pivot in business and life — How to succeed in your career by embracing pivots — Why reading will make you a better person ---- Download show notes and transcripts at www.powderkeg.co This episode of Powder Keg is brought to you by DeveloperTown.

It’s the final countdown! Time to wrap-up the final days of 2015 then dream-and-scheme for what’s to come. I don’t set New Years Resolutions, but I do choose a theme for the year, do fun mind-mapping exercises, set quarterly targets, and hold myself accountable with mastermind groups. In today’s final Pivot Podcast of the year, I share practical tips to help you set a 2016 strategy by doubling-down on what’s working, and setting up small experiments to test what’s next. AKA, the Pivot Method!

Yes, we—there is no way this would be possible without you here reading, and for that I am grateful beyond words. The Pivot Method will be published in hardcover by Portfolio/Penguin in early 2016, one of the top business and career imprints, and I could not be more thrilled! Their vision for the book blew me away, and I feel very lucky to be in such great hands over this next leg of the JB journey. 

YO! How are you? I’ve been back in the old USA for over one week now and I’m having tons of thoughts about it (its been over a year!) I hope to write a few blog posts about it. In this episode Ian and I discuss concepts that regular listeners of the show are probably pretty used to hearing from us. We currently have a lot of overhead in our business and we are exploring ways to efficiently deploy our staff to stuff that makes us money. Last month we had a nice little revenue hit from a new product we developed using what we call PIVOT: Position, Iterate, Volley, Outsource, and Time. If that sounds like a big fat put-on, it kind of is, but we had fun using it as a structure to talk about the way we got this done. Also there are lots of random little tidbits in this episode plus an impassioned rant during the quick tip section. Interested to hear your thoughts! I’ll be in NYC all next week doin’ some biznass and meeting old friends, if you are around LET ME KNOW HOMIES!
