Jenny Blake, author of the #1 Bestseller, Pivot: the Only Move That Matters is Your Next One (Portfolio Penguin), chats with me about her years at Google, and how she co-created the Career Guru Program. She was there when Google scaled from 6,000 to 33,000 employees.
She answers the burning career question that we are often confronted with: “What’s next?”
What was the point of 20% time at Google? Was it more like 10% time? Or was it really 110% time?
What is the leapfrog approach to pivoting? What does grad school have to do with any of it?
Plateaus are not horrible. Find out why.
Oh my gosh, Jenny cheated on a test--in high school. What does she do next, and how has this helped align her values and her integrity?
We talk about making mistakes, conflict management and life at work. Yes, I just said making mistakes at work. Because it happens.
How does this have anything to with petroleum engineering? Listen, learn, and find the self-awareness on today’s episode.
