Jenny Blake is an author, podcaster, and the founder of Pivot Method®, a growth strategy company that helps forward-thinking individuals and organizations map what’s next. Her motto: if change is the only constant, let's get better at it.

Jenny is an international keynote speaker, and the author of three books, including Life After College (Running Press, 2011), Pivot: The Only Move That Matters is Your Next One (Portfolio/Penguin Random House, 2016), which won the Axiom Best Business Books award in the careers category, and the award-winning Free Time: Lose the Busywork, Love Your Business (Ideapress, 2022).

After two years at a political polling start-up in Silicon Valley (later acquired by YouGov America), Jenny worked in training and career development at Google for over five years, where she helped co-create and launch the global Career Guru drop-in coaching program, still thriving today.
