What are the Tracks?
Uncommon offers a diverse array of tracks annually, each designed to cater to the unique phases of your career journey. As an Uncommon member you will select one of the following tracks based on your need and what you would like to achieve. Let's explore some of these tracks:
Strategic Leadership: Cultivating a Balanced Leadership Toolkit
Strategic Leadership focuses on honing essential leadership skills necessary for success in today's dynamic workplace. Participants explore the intersection of traditionally masculine and feminine leadership traits, learning to strategically blend assertiveness with empathy, decisiveness with collaboration. Through real-life case studies and interactive sessions, individuals develop an authentic leadership style that fosters inclusivity, drives impactful results, and empowers teams to thrive.
Career Reboot: Navigating the New Career Evolution
The Career Reboot track acknowledges the evolving nature of careers in the modern landscape. It guides participants through the intricacies of career transitions, helping them navigate through the complexities of the job market. From introspective exercises aimed at understanding individual career patterns to practical strategies for leveraging strengths and mitigating challenges, this track empowers individuals to chart a course towards meaningful professional reinvention.
Radical Entrepreneurship: Idea Validation, Risk-taking, and an Uncommon Impact

From validating business ideas to envisioning the future impact of their ventures, this track equips individuals with the tools and mindset needed to navigate the challenging yet rewarding terrain of entrepreneurship.
What are the Core Groups & how do you join?
Before delving into the core sessions, participants have the opportunity to meet their first Core Group—a peer group of individuals who serve as a personal advisory board throughout the four-month journey. The process of joining involves selecting your preferred track, undertaking the Uncommon Personality test, receiving your Core Group Schedule, engaging in Core Group Social activities, and finally, participating in your first Core Session. You will have 4 sessions during a track (one session per month) starting from your Onboarding Day.
What Does a Session Look Like?
Each coaching session is an immersive experience aimed at fostering growth and development. Typically lasting for an hour, sessions commence with an introduction to the foundational concepts of the chosen track. Prior to the session, participants are invited to submit their values and undergo an Uncommon personality test, facilitating a tailored approach to coaching. Depending on the track, sessions may feature workshops, exercises, and lectures, all geared towards deepening understanding and fostering actionable insights. Sessions are conducted both online and in-person, with a typical evening schedule accommodating participants' diverse commitments.
