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.

This is executive coaching energy — not hustle culture.
