Synopsis

#1 International Bestseller

An empowering guide to career growth that reveals how to “be more lobster”—to never stop learning and pave the way to a meaningful working life

In today’s working world, careers are characterized by change. You can take control of your own development at any time, but many of us don't as we feel held back by time, money, or imposter syndrome. Careers used to be linear and ladder-like. They were about following in other people’s footsteps and focused on getting to the top. This predictable approach to careers no longer fits—and it doesn’t reflect people’s reality or their individuality.

Enter the lobster, which never stops growing. Inspired by the lobster, superstar career coaches Helen Tupper and Sarah Ellis show you how to achieve a meaningful and motivating career:

• Ask questions, experiment every day, and increase your impact
• Grow in hard moments, take in feedback, and adapt to new circumstances
• And create your own opportunities to grow.

By learning like a lobster, you will find the path to level up.
