Weird Wisdom: At Work

What if being called "weird" was the highest compliment you could receive?

In Weird Wisdom at Work, challenges everything you've been taught about fitting in, playing it safe, and keeping your head down. When author Trish Goodfield she was labelled "weird" in a meeting for asking the questions no one else would, she didn't shrink. She got curious. What she discovered changed the trajectory of her career - and can ultimately transform your workplace too.

Rooted in the original meaning of wyrd - destiny - Weird Wisdom is about reclaiming your unique way of seeing, thinking, and solving problems. It's recognising that the perspectives often dismissed as unconventional are frequently the very ones that drive innovation, inclusion, resilience, and real results.

Through powerful stories, practical insights, and five transformative principles, Trish shows how to:

• Get comfortable with uncertainty and use it as a creative advantage • Reframe failure as feedback and fuel for growth • Find harmony in contradiction instead of forcing false certainty • Question outdated norms without becoming "difficult" • Explore the unconventional within the constraints of work

Weird Wisdom at Work is a real-world approach to unlocking diversity of thought - the hidden advantage inside every team. It's time to use your "weird" as your greatest strength.
