reviews for pivoted by marshall b. carr
This book should be required reading for every college student getting ready to become a cog in the wheel of corporate America.
— Paul Scott, President, PWS ConsultingAs someone recently pivoted without warning, I drew solace from Marshall’s resilience and encouragement from the wisdom embedded in his shared experiences. The guidance I provide my kids will fundamentally change as a result.
— John HansenThis book is part memoir, part self help for those facing layoffs (which is a lot of people in tech these days) and part insider guide to an industry obliterated by new technology and changing consumer habits. It works because Marshall tells a good story and isn’t afraid to share personal details as he takes the reader through the wild ride of his career.
