There's a Hollywood version of pivoting which is waking up one day and dramatically quitting your job and noticing the bakery in your neighborhood and buying it on a whim to be a baker. We all know this is not how it looks in reality. These career pivots for women are more methodical, more long-term, more scrutinized, and more planned out. It takes women a few years to achieve a real transformation.
Because it does not happen overnight, it becomes less intimidating for many people who do these pivots. It opens the possibility for more women who want to follow a systematized, more conservative path in making a change. Some career pivots for women are not spontaneous but rather strategic and highly planned out when doing these pivots.

Jess’ career pivot was sparked by her experience stepping into motherhood. When she had her first daughter, she craved a more authentic and purposeful career. Through initial research, she quickly discovered that her story—building a stellar career, doing everything “right,” but waking up lost—is not unique. Today, Jess has studied the career trajectories of more than 150 highly successful women and become an expert on women and career reinvention. She is a corporate speaker, private coach to high-performing women, and shares the extraordinary stories of the career changers she interviews through her blog and upcoming podcast. She is also the author of her upcoming book, Reclaim Your Career: Stories of Women Letting Go to Get Ahead (Fall 2022).
