The Squiggly Career" - Helen Tupper & Sarah Ellis

The Squiggly Career" by Helen Tupper & Sarah Ellis

Ditch the Ladder—Why 'The Squiggly Career' Is the Career Guide We All Needed

Climbing the ladder? It’s old news.

Today’s careers are squiggly. Twisty. Full of change, chances and fresh starts.

And that’s not a bad thing.

In The Squiggly Career, Helen Tupper and Sarah Ellis flip the script on traditional career paths. They reveal that there’s no “one way up”—only a way forward that works for you.

Sound freeing? It is.


Here’s what makes this book a game-changer:

  • Five Key Super Strengths: You’ll master values, confidence, networks, strengths and possibilities. The must-haves for a thriving squiggly career.
  • Practical and Playful: Tools that work in real life. Exercises that make you think. Tips you can try today.
  • Permission to Pivot: You're not flaky for wanting change. You're evolving. This book shows you how to do it with purpose.
  • No More Career Guilt: Whether you're jumping industries or trying side hustles, it’s all valid. There’s space for your kind of squiggle.
  • Build a Career That Feels Like You: Forget fitting in a box. This book helps you design a path that fits your strengths and your story.

Tupper and Ellis keep it real. They’ve lived the squiggly life. Now they’re handing you the map.

So, if the straight-line career path never felt right, you’re not broken. You’re just squiggly.

And that’s your superpower.
