Career and Industry Disruption – What to Do About It!

Marc Miller is the founder of Career Pivot (https://careerpivot.com), which helps baby boomers “design careers they can grow into for the next 30 years.” His career journey included 22 years at IBM, several thriving tech startups, a painful stint as a high school teacher, a gig raising funds for the Jewish Community Association of Austin and a near fatal bicycle accident that changed his perspective forever.

Thirty years of wandering the proverbial career desert, often repeating the same mistakes over and over, taught him his most crucial lesson: Most people don’t really know what makes them happy at their core, what fulfills them. They pursue money, status, a skill set, all of which provide some level of satisfaction, but not contentment. They wind up feeling frustrated and trapped. Others have figured out what they need, but don’t know how to chart a course to get there.

An active member of the Launch Pad Job Club, Marc found himself counseling friends and associates on their career journeys and finally realized he’d found his vocation. He would use his extensive training experience to help others—especially Baby Boomers—find careers that they could grow into for the decades that lie ahead. Marc is the author of numerous books, including Repurpose Your Career: A Practical Guide for Baby Boomers, and Personal Branding for Baby Boomers: What It Is, How to Manage It and Why It’s No Longer Optional.
