Wendy Wallbridge is a pioneer in the coaching field and a rare talent for creating cultures of belonging. Diagnosed with life-threatening lupus early in her career, Wendy used that experience and her journey back to health to explore what it means for women to live true to their values, feminine wisdom, their unique calling. Her singular brand of coaching defined by her Spiral Up model empowers women to become architects of their own lives by following a radically different roadmap to success. The founder of Spiral Up and the Women's Evolutionary Leadership Forum of Silicon Valley, she is the award-winning author of Spiraling Upward, the Five Co-Creative Powers for Women on the Rise. Her spiral up clients have included Dolby Intel, HP, Apple, Oracle, ABC, and Disney among others. A former producer of TEDx Sandhill Road Women, she's spoken at UCBerkeley Haas School of Business, the Professional Business Women's Conference, Texas Conference for Women, and TEDx. She's also been profiled by Fortune and the New York Times, and she has a podcast, What is it To Be a Powerful Woman Today.
