Book Report: 'Prep, Push, Pivot'

 

Prep, Push, Pivot: Essential Career Strategies for Underrepresented Women by Octavia Goredema
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Octavia Goredema's career coaching book is filled with crucial advice for those at any career stage looking to get ahead or change course. It's geared toward women of color, but the advice isn't specific to any gender or ethnic group.

Her advice consists of pragmatic approaches to asking for raises and promotions, positioning yourself for higher-paying, more prestigious career paths, making yourself more visible in the corporate culture and seeking a mentor while becoming one to others.

At times, Goredema's advice is tainted by mild naivete, and she is prone to overpromoting her own business and workshops, but that doesn't taint the rock-solid advice within. This book would make a great college graduation gift, but should also be required reading for anyone unhappy with their career path.
