Jenny Blake

Jenny Blake is the founder of Pivot Method, a growth strategy company for helping "high net growth" individuals and innovative organizations map what’s next. She is the author of three award-winning books, including Pivot: The Only Move that Matters Is Your Next One and Free Time: Lose the Busywork, Love Your Business. Her interactive keynotes are transformational, practical, and inspiring for anyone looking to grow, even within their current role, and for upskilling managers coaching them through that vision-setting and change. No matter your age, life stage, bank account balance, or career level, you can learn how to pivot strategically and help team members do the same. With revolutionary developments in agentic AI and innovations we can’t even see or predict yet following close behind, we are all experiencing a tsunami of change. Now the opportunity is to ride—and lead—these waves of change, powered by the right mindset and tools. Jenny's four-stage Pivot Method walks participants through an intuitive process to double down on strengths and what is already working best, set a vision for the year ahead, then close the gap between the two by identifying small career pilots around resonant people, skills, and projects. No one "solves" their Pivot up front, especially in today's increasingly VUCA operating environment. Participants walk away with clarity on the most important question the Pivot Method asks: What can I try? Before launching her business in 2011 in New York City, Jenny worked at Google for five and a half years in coaching, training, and career development, where she co-created Google’s acclaimed Career Guru global drop-in coaching program, still thriving today. For nine years, Jenny hosted two podcasts with over two million downloads combined: Pivot with Jenny Blake for navigating what’s next, and Free Time with Jenny Blake for small businesses optimizing what’s now. She lives in New York City with her husband, a contemporary artist, and their “angel-in-fur-coat” German Shepherd Ryder.
