Denise Harrington challenged the traditional 'ladder' metaphor for career advancement at the Nobody Cares event, suggesting instead a spiral approach that promotes inclusion and collaboration. By illustrating this concept, Harrington emphasized that success doesn't have to be a solitary endeavor; rather, it can involve bringing others along in the journey. The event featured a diverse panel of successful entrepreneurs who echoed the message of forging personal career paths and finding joy in one's work, moving away from the conventional expectations.
When you move in a spiral, you can actually bring people along with you. They can stand with you, not below you.
This is about forging your own path—and finding joy along the way.
Every month, we host a speaker series called Nobody Cares, led by Food52 CEO Erika Ayers Badan, inspired by her book Nobody Cares About Your Career.
At our May Nobody Cares event, Denise Harrington encouraged the audience to ditch the ladder analogy for career growth.
