Why Women Pivot

Trish Barber writes from genuine multi-industry experience, and the 2024 book fills a real gap: most career advice treats women's trajectories as a straightforward ladder, ignoring the pivot points that life-stage transitions create. The practical tools and personal branding framework are actionable rather than inspirational, and the finding that 60 percent of women consider a pivot but only 25 percent act gives the book a clear motivating thesis. The self-published origin and US-centric framing are real limitations, but the core substance holds up.
