Spiraling Upward - by Wendy Wallbridge (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Full of insights, exercises, and over thirty relatable stories, Spiraling Upward has transformed countless women's lives and won a Nautilus Gold and Silver Award. This expanded New Edition includes a new chapter, "Spiral Up for Dudes", to show men how they can ally with women to Spiral Up.

Women are in the majority of the college-educated talent pool and are increasingly represented in positions of leadership in business and society. Why then are women withdrawing from top-tier positions in unprecedented numbers?

The linear, unyielding, single-minded approach to success forged by men will never lead women and non-binary people to the heart of fulfillment. We are not designed for the straight and narrow path. In Spiraling Upward, Wendy Wallbridge offers a step-by-step roadmap for professionals to unlock their power and achieve success on their own terms.

The Spiral Up method teaches women in the workplace to cultivate the five co-creative powers-Energy, Thoughts, Feelings, Speech, and Action. These fundamentals of self-creation help female-identified leaders redefine success, become positive change agents, and re-author their lives.
