Uncommon Wisdom at Work - Bolder Results. More Ease. A Wiser Way to Work and Live

Stop playing by the broken rules of work...there is a better way to have impact and success without sacrificing your well-being.

Work isn't working for most people and our workplaces have never been more challenging.

We inherited an old story about work that no longer serves us. It tells us success requires nonstop striving and proving, emotions are liabilities, worth is measured by output, scarcity is real, we're on our own, well-being is optional but stress is inevitable.

These stories are broken yet so deeply ingrained, we just believe that's the way things are-yet they quietly fuel stress, resignation, and dissatisfaction, and rob us of our potential. We wait...for the "right" boss, the "right" system, better circumstances, or better timing, giving away our agency and power while unknowingly contributing to our own suffering (and the suffering of those around us).

Meanwhile, the world has grown more complex. In today's post-truth world, where we can't even agree on the facts, much less collaborate across businesses, industries, or even countries, navigating the constantly shifting sands requires more than better processes or productivity hacks. It requires questioning the very rules of work, largely invisible to us, that we've taken for granted.

Uncommon Wisdom at Work does exactly that. It's a compact guide (intentionally so) packed with big ideas and practical applications. Distilling decades of global leadership experience, it gives you frameworks you can use immediately-whether you're leading a team, navigating your own career, or coaching others.

You'll learn how to:
¿Expand your effectiveness -start creating bolder results and impact now with more ease.
¿Break free from faulty thinking and outdated assumptions - uncover and challenge the invisible stories of work that fuel stress, scarcity, and self-sacrifice.
¿Thrive in chaos - lead with more mindful presence and greater resilience, even in uncertain, fast-changing times.
¿Practice more conscious choice - stop being reactionary and triggered in the face of work pressures.
¿Have more powerful conversations - For leaders and professionals, raise your game and those around you. For executive coaches, use these frameworks to spark deeper, more transformative client work...
. . . and so much more.

In Uncommon Wisdom at Work, Terrie Lupberger challenges the status quo you didn't even know was shaping your choices.

About the author

Terrie has spent decades leading teams and coaching executives around the globe. Her conclusion: work isn't working. Even with talent and good intentions, we are stuck inside broken rules and invisible scripts that leave most people burned out, dissatisfied, stressed, and unfulfilled.Terrie's gift is her gentle irreverence. She questions what others won't or don't see and, with respect and care, opens the door to different ways of working that bring more impact, bolder results, and greater well-being. Her deep curiosity about how work itself can be a spiritual practice infuses her writing and coaching, inviting people to show up at work with more awareness, courage, and humanity. Regardless of circumstances, we still have power and self-agency over how we show up and, in doing so, we can bring our vastness to work instead of shrinking ourselves to fit in.A global coach educator for over two decades, she is considered a pioneer in the coaching profession. She was a founding member of the Association of Coach Training Organizations and is a former global board member of the International Coaching Federation. She believes that coaching was actually born for these times and that coaches (and the clients they serve) must expand and deepen their awareness to best serve in these chaotic and uncertain times. When she's not writing or coaching, you can usually find her hiking or biking in the Colorado mountains, chasing her much-needed fix of ocean time, savoring a really good cup of coffee, or lingering with the timeless words of the great philosophers and wisdom teachers.
