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 new and expanded paperback 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 us to the heart of fulfillment.

Women are not designed for the straight and narrow path. Until now there hasn’t been another choice. In Spiraling Upward, Wendy Wallbridge offers a step-by-step roadmap for professional women 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 women in leadership positions redefine success, become positive change agents and re-author our lives.

Spiraling Upward offers clear steps and exercises to drive readers to create fulfilling lives aligned with individual gifts and callings. This volume also includes inspiring stories of 30 successful women who followed the “Spiral Up” program.

Among other accolades, Spiraling Upward is a dual winner of the 2016 Nautilus Awards: Gold (Women) and Silver (Business & Leadership).

Ready to rise up and express your creativity, authenticity, voice and power? Spiraling Upward will show you the way.

“I started reading Spiraling Upward while performing in a very personally challenging play, and experiencing debilitating stage fright. Using Wendy’s inspiring and extremely practical approach, I’ve been able to shift from my false self who was so afraid of not getting it “right” to my true self, who has the confidence to come from who I am in the present moment. It has made all the difference in the world—for me and for the audience. And, of course, it’s an invaluable lesson for my offstage life as well. Thank you Wendy.”

— Jill Eikenberry, Actress
