Praise for Pivot for Success
“Historically, the principles of rigid resolve and fierce intractability have been baked into the nation's DNA. Now comes Amy Hilliard with Pivot for Success, in which she draws on her own character‐building personal and career experiences to convincingly reinforce the counterargument that, in today's fickle and fast‐moving environment, the inability or unwillingness to pivot can easily lead to unfortunate and unfixable results. This book is based on the most solid kind of research: the kind derived from the real‐life story of a highly accomplished, keen observer of human behavior. It says that we must all learn to dodge the curve balls that fate will invariably throw at us, and that life is not going to adjust itself to custom fit our master plan. This book supplants the sin of certitude with the positive power of pivotability.”
—Tom Burrell, Founder, Burrell Communications
“In Pivot for Success, Amy Hilliard provides a step‐by‐step guide of how to not only survive but thrive in corporate America. From defining priorities to having patience (my personal favorite!) she does a masterful job of sharing the lessons learned throughout her storied career.”
—Mellody Hobson, Co‐CEO and President of Ariel Investments
“With bracing candor and boundless wit, Amy Hilliard's Pivot for Success offers inspiring stories of invention and reinvention drawn from her own remarkable life and career and provides concrete guidance about how to create a life of purpose and fulfillment by transforming difficulty into opportunity.”
—Phylicia Rashad, Actor/Director/Producer
“I love this book! Amy is one of the country's great thought leaders. She is also an excellent businesswoman with an abundance of diverse experiences. This book successfully melds those two attributes, thought leadership and realistic experiences, with the result being a pragmatic tool for success.”
—Steven Rogers, Harvard Business School, Senior Lecturer (Retired)
“Powerful, clear, dynamic, and impactful—these are just some of the reasons that make this book so important. It is based on true experiences and fortified with the knowledge gained from the life experiences, and it helps the many people Amy has mentored.
I have seen her apply each of the 10 Pivot Points and obtain extremely successful results over and over. I have literally followed Amy for years. As her sister, I assure you each chapter will give you a place to identify yourself and use and gain effective ways to steer your career and life in
