The choose-your-current guide for navigating career uncertainty instead of avoiding it.
School gave you structure. Then it disappears, and you're in open water. The rules you were given stop making sense. The next step isn't obvious. Everyone seems louder than the answers you're looking for.
Cue the Lifeboat is for anyone standing at that edge-unsure where to go but certain they can't stay put. Whether you're a recent graduate, navigating a career pivot, or facing a moment when the old roadmap no longer fits, this story begins there.
You're the main character. Each chapter drops you into a real adventure: midnight sailing regattas in Hawaii, business deals in Buenos Aires, meditation in Indian temples. The book's choose-your-current format means that at the end of every chapter, you decide which adventure comes next based on what you need most right now: finding your voice, dealing with setbacks, or changing course.
Every story springs from lived experience. Christiane Palpant spent two decades as a Fortune 500 executive and now teaches university students navigating their first career chapters. She once drove 45,000 miles in a van to paint the horizon in all 50 states because she needed to figure out what came next. She's lived with uncertainty.
You'll get action steps, honest reflection, and the confidence to navigate uncertainty one choice at a time. Start at the beginning or jump to what you need right now. Equal parts guide, companion, and permission slip to chart a course that's truly your own.
