Title overview

Feeling stuck in your career can be frustrating, wondering whether to push for promotion, pivot industries, or even start over. But career growth doesn’t have to be guesswork. Climb gives you a proven framework, backed by data and real-world experience, so you can take control of your path, make smarter decisions, and move forward with confidence. 

  • The six-step CLIMB framework turns vague ambitions into a concrete, personalised growth plan. 
  • Insights from over 200 executive interviews reveal real stories, shortcuts, and cautionary tales you can trust. 
  • Practical templates and prompts help accelerate action and track progress without additional research.  

Climb by career strategists Ritchie Mehta and Mark Evans, packages four years of cross-industry research into an accessible guide. Their combined leadership and coaching expertise deliver credibility every ambitious professional will respect. 

Structured into six sections, the book blends stories, data, and bite-sized exercises. Each chapter ends with actionable takeaways, so readers move quickly from insight to implementation. The tone is practical and direct, designed for busy professionals. 

By the end of the book, you will learn a clear, adaptable plan, stronger networking tactics, and gain the confidence to negotiate roles, salaries, and opportunities. Use the tools repeatedly as your goals evolve. 

Ideal for early-career talent to senior managers navigating promotion, career change, or reinvention in volatile markets.
