About Navigating Your Next

At some point in your career, you may find yourself questioning the path you’re on. You might feel misaligned with your role, unclear about your goals, or simply ready for change without knowing what comes next. Navigating Your Next: Discover the Career You Want and the Path to Get There is a powerful and practical guide for professionals at any stage of transition.

Written by executive coach and global business leader Julian Lighton, this book outlines a five-step method for creating a future that matches your ambitions. Through a combination of strategic insight, personal reflection, and practical tools, Lighton helps you identify what you want, express your value with clarity, build meaningful relationships, and find the opportunities that fit who you want to become—not just the job titles on your resume.

Unlike books that rely solely on inspiration, Navigating Your Next provides a tested structure grounded in more than 250 real coaching engagements. You’ll find compelling stories, actionable strategies, and exercises that guide you forward with confidence.

Whether you’re early in your career, reevaluating at midlife, or moving on after reaching a high-level role, this book will help you move from uncertainty to momentum with intention and purpose.
