“My evidence-based strategies will eliminate pressure and offer practical tips to help you succeed. You will be able to better understand your surroundings and what you need to advance through challenging professional environments,” Leanne encourages. “We can work together to identify sticking points and address any obstacles that are preventing forward progress.”
As you move through the pages, harsh facts about the different workplace experiences of men and women come to light. A frank discussion about workplace biases and the kind of environments those biases create for women helps readers realize that the real picture is much more complex and nuanced than conventional ideas about the glass ceiling.
Illuminated even more by other innate intersections of career advocacy for women, the conversations in Climbing the Spiral Staircase aren’t abstract or academic. Leanne’s work reflects real stories and real lives. In the end, she takes the long view of success, positioning careers as marathons rather than sprints, while preparing women for the rigors and demands of each different career stage.
