NEW YORK (March 8, 2022) — Climbing the Spiral Staircase: How Women Can Navigate Their Careers and Accelerate Success by Leanne Meyer, the Faculty Director of the Women’s Executive Leadership Academy at Carnegie Mellon University, is available now. The book is published with ForbesBooks, the exclusive business book publishing imprint of Forbes, and is available on Amazon today.

In Climbing the Spiral Staircase, Leanne Meyer shares specific, actionable strategies to help women build the careers they aspire to achieve. Meyer also crafts a helpful blueprint for getting unstuck from the corporate career stagnation that can cause women to feel a lack of engagement with their work or career.

“My evidence-based strategies will eliminate pressure and offer practical tips to help readers succeed. Readers will be able to better understand their surroundings and what they need to advance through challenging professional environments,” Meyer said. “In this book, I cover how to identify sticking points and address any obstacles that are preventing forward progress.”

Informed by the innate intersections of career advocacy for women, Meyer’s advice in Climbing the Spiral Staircase isn’t abstract or academic. Instead, her work reflects real stories and real lives. Meyer advocates for 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.
