Meet Author Lauren Wittenberg Weiner and Conversation Partner Cristal Thomas Gary at The Book Cellar
Lauren Wittenberg Weiner, speaker and author of Unruly: Deconstruct the Rules, Defy the Norms, and Define Your Success, will show the audience how to “get unruly.”
Most people follow the rules—written and unwritten—and never find their own breakout success. But it doesn’t require breaking the rules to find success; knowing the rules better than anyone can give you opportunities to find your own authentic space within the rules in business and in life overall. Through Unruly, Lauren will teach readers how to take the Unruly journey to learn how to leverage the rules for their own authentic success.
Readers will learn how to:
• Navigate their own space within the rules while remaining in compliance and maintaining a strong moral compass.
• Convert fear and imposter syndrome into a superpower.
• Determine when it’s time to stop listening to what people think they should or could do ~ to find what they actually can do
• Use their power to be a gateway, not a gatekeeper, for others.
ABOUT LAUREN:
Lauren Wittenberg Weiner, PhD became a barrier-breaking entrepreneur when she quit her White House job to follow her husband on military orders to Italy. Once there, she was told that military spouses were prohibited from holding professional-level jobs. She started WWC Global, and she and her team grew it to $100m in annual revenue. In 2018, WWC Global won the largest-ever contract to a woman-owned business in US Special Operations Command headquarters history—the headquarters for the Navy SEALs and Army Green Berets—making WWC Global one of the most successful women-owned small businesses in the government contracting space. After opening doors and demystifying the GovCon process for many, Lauren's company was acquired in 2022.
