About the book:

When the rules stop working for you Unruly is the guide to navigate your authentic path to personalized success. Rules are necessary for a functional society but many "rules" we follow are simply conventional wisdom norms or limited interpretations. We're expected to play along by conforming following the crowd and steering toward comfortable paths. But viewing rules as a starting point rather than as an endpoint opens worlds of opportunities for your success. Unruly is your manual to identify your best maneuvers in the gray areas that allow you to authentically create and secure your own path to success.

Lauren Wittenberg Weiner a powerful speaker and business leader who has upended barriers on her journey toward extraordinary success teaches readers in any industry how to:

• Navigate your 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 you should or could do to find what you can do.
• Use your power to be a gateway not a gatekeeper for others.

Borrowing from concepts in psychology law business and the military Unruly uncovers a deep understanding of rules and where they bend to equip readers for personalized success.

Biographical Note:

Lauren Wittenberg Weiner is an entrepreneur who found success in the field of military contracting by changing the rules of the game.  

Lauren started WWC Global when she could not get a job as a military spouse stationed overseas. What started as a way for Lauren to do some part time consulting work until she could move back to DC and re-start her career, instead turned into one of the largest privately-held government contracting firms in Tampa Bay. Under Lauren’s leadership, WWC Global won one of the largest awards to a small business in US Special Operations Command Headquarters history, a $200 million contract to provide training and military exercise support with Special Operators (Navy SEALs, Green Berets, and others) around the world.  

Over the course of almost 20 years, she and her team built the company to almost $100 million in annual revenue before the company was acquired in 2022. Since the original founding of the firm in 2004, WWC Global employed over 250 military spouses, and kept dozens of them employed through multiple military moves, some for over 15 years.  

Lauren also co-founded the very first non-profit organization, In Gear Career, focused exclusively on military spouse employment at the professional levels, which merged with the US Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Hiring Our Heroes program. Lauren also co-founded Homefront Rising, a program to train military spouses to engage in the political process as candidates and elected oicials, political and policy staers, and advocates.  

Lauren is an authentic leader, speaker, and mentor who routinely shows “behind the curtain” to the reality behind her success. In addition to her professional duties, Lauren has an undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan and a PHD in Psychology from Dartmouth College. She lives in Tampa Bay with her family, where she sits on the Board for Baycare Health System (a $5.2B not-for-profit), the Tampa Bay WAVE technology incubator, and the Tampa Bay Chamber of Commerce. She is the primary caregiver for her aging parents and a loud and proud hockey mom.
