About this companion

The take-home from Tammy Rainey's session on career pivots.

This is the post-session companion to Tammy Rainey's 60-minute JobNet 2.0 session on June 10, 2026. Published the next business day by baHRC as a courtesy resource for the attendees, it goes deeper than Tammy's hour could on the topics she introduced live.

Eight pages. Each tuned to a different question or audience. The deepest single dive is on Tool 9 (digital presence), because in 2026 the machine reads you before any human does, and that work has the highest leverage of anything in a pivot. The companion extends the 11-tool framework Tammy introduced in the session.

If you attended the live session, bookmark the page you need most. If you found this through the baHRC calendar after the fact, read the slide-by-slide recap first to see what was covered, then jump to whichever deep dive applies to where you are.

About the Recalculating Series

Part 1 was June 10. Part 2 was September 16.

Recalculating is a two-part series. Part 1 (Tammy's session, this companion) gave the strategy and the toolkit. Part 2, Recalculating: Detour Stories, brought five people who have actually pivoted to OneDigital in Cupertino on September 16, 2026, moderated by TehShan Lee. The stories stayed in the room. What its companion carries is the instrument: a question bank for talking one-on-one to someone who made your move, and the questions the room sent in, taken up by a coach.
