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.

“Spiraling Upward is that rare and potent blend of inspiration and pragmatism. Wallbridge shows us, with humor, wisdom, and serious research, how to remove the barriers that keep us playing small. An essential roadmap for women who want to uncover their power and create more confidence.”

—Claire Shipman, coauthor of The Confidence Code and The Power Code

“An invaluable guidebook for women seeking to live lives of meaning, authenticity, and wholeness.”

—Brigid Schulte, author of Overwhelmed and award-winning Washington Post staff writer

“Wendy’s Spiraling Upward shows women how to seize this moment in order to shape their futures and remake the world.”

—John Gerzema, CEO, The Harris Poll; coauthor of The Athena Doctrine
