I was on top of the world. A big job at the number one network. And then life gave me an unwanted shove. It was time to pivot.
About Chris Cranner
Career Backstory
I started my career on Madison Avenue, working on major accounts at legendary advertising agencies. When that chapter ended, I pivoted. I switched coasts. I switched careers.
It wasn’t easy — but I did it.
The Second Pivot
This time was different. The first time, I was a young man with something to prove. This time, I was a grown man with something to share. I needed a new purpose. A new driver.
Then I looked around. Everyone I knew was facing something.
Promotions that didn’t happen.
Startups that stalled.
Jobs that disappeared.
Industries reshaped by technology.
Change with a capital C.
The Origin of Coaching
Around that same time, something unexpected happened. People started reaching out. Colleagues. Friends. People I barely knew. They wanted perspective. Encouragement. Strategy. So I helped.
I took calls.
I Zoomed.
I met for coffee.
And something interesting happened.
It worked.
A film got made.
A book got published.
A glass ceiling shattered.
A project funded.
A career reignited.
And Pivot Point Momentum was born.
