UpSpiral Leadership Administrative Assistant

ABOUT UPSPIRAL LEADERSHIP

In 2016, we started UpSpiral Leadership with a dream for a better future. With constant change, uncertainty and division in the world, many people are struggling to truly connect, creatively solve problems and see challenges as opportunities. Fear, stress and mistrust were limiting, and continue to limit, possibilities for success and our collective potential.

With our diverse expertise in Employee Relations, Talent & Leadership Development, Organizational Psychology and Succession Planning, we joined together with a common purpose: to develop leaders at all levels to think bigger, act bolder and collaborate better to create positive change, even when it’s hard. 

We work with fast-growing, forward-thinking businesses whose team members have strong technical competence but struggle with change, conflict, and collaborating across silos and differences. Our clients share our vision and values, and are committed to co-creating positive change. 

At UpSpiral Leadership, we believe that every person deserves to thrive and that all of us are hurt when any of us is limited. We continually celebrate diversity because we believe that our differences are our strengths and that each of us is uniquely made for exactly what the world needs. We believe in empowering individuals to lead from where they are; we are an equal opportunity employer. Come as you are.
