The Career Pivot Workbook: A Step-by-Step Guide to Changing Careers with Confidence, Clarity, and a Plan

A practical workbook for professionals considering a career change.

If you've quietly rehearsed handing in your resignation letter more times than you'd like to admit, this workbook gives you a structured process instead of another "follow your passion" pep talk with no plan attached. It walks you through six steps: clarify what isn't working, test realistic directions before you bet your income on them, understand what the job market actually requires, translate your experience into language a new field values, plan the financial risk with real numbers, and build a measurable 90-day action plan.

Inside, you'll work through:

Why you feel stuck — and a way to tell burnout from a genuine mismatch

A values and energy audit to get specific about what you actually want next

How to test a new direction with real conversations and a scoped 30-day project before you commit further

A market-reality check: scan real job postings to separate genuine requirements from nice-to-haves

How to translate your experience so hiring managers see a fit, not a flight risk — with worked examples

A complete runway calculation separating your no-income safety net from your real financial exposure

A measurable 90-day plan with specific milestones, plus a completed example for readers with only 3–5 hours a week

This is a full working workbook — write-in exercise pages after every prompt, a career-direction self-assessment, a 90-day action calendar, a networking log, weekly plans, and monthly review pages.
