The Architect Behind The Wisdom House Books

Author. Builder. Believer.

Dianna Lott has lived many lives in one — a former college athlete turned wanderer, mother, educator, and now an accomplished HR executive and thought leader. Her story is one of transformation, resilience, and quiet strength.

As Managing Partner of The Ha/Lo Advisory, Dianna helps leaders and teams build cultures rooted in belonging, clarity, and sustainable success. Her work blends strategy with soul, guiding organizations to move beyond performance toward purpose.

Known for her rare mix of humanity and high performance, Dianna is both an architect of systems and a gardener of people. She believes leadership is not about power but presence — and that the most lasting change is built quietly, from the inside out.

Her debut book, The Ant: An Organizational Field Guide, is the first release in The Quiet Architect Series™ — a collection designed to help professionals, executives, and entrepreneurs lead with intention, resilience, and spiritual intelligence.

Dianna’s work continues to inspire those who carry the weight of vision, reminding them that even small, steady builders can move mountains.⛰️

The Wisdom House Books was born from a simple truth: strong things are built from the inside out.

What began as one book about quiet strength — The Ant — grew into a publishing home for stories that help readers lead, heal, and belong. We write for the quiet builders and the curious leaders — the ones shaping cultures at work, at home, and in community.

Our books blend timeless wisdom with modern relevance, offering reflection, humor, and honesty about what it means to grow. Each title — from The Ant: A Book of Wisdom to Roots & Reunions, Face to Face, and beyond — explores how insight becomes culture, and how small, steady choices create lasting change.

At The Wisdom House Books, we believe wisdom isn’t lofty; it’s lived. It’s the discipline of being thoughtful in a noisy world. It’s the courage to see what others overlook, and the grace to keep building anyway.

This is a publishing home for people, purpose, and possibility — a place where words do what wisdom always has:

build something that lasts.

Our Mission

At The Wisdom House Books, our mission is to publish stories and ideas that build from the inside out — cultivating wisdom, belonging, and purpose in every reader.

We create books that speak to both heart and mind, blending insight with application so that wisdom becomes more than inspiration — it becomes action. Our work honors the unseen builders, the quiet leaders, and the everyday people who strengthen families, teams, and communities through reflection, diligence, and grace.

We believe words can do what wisdom always has:

heal, teach, and build what lasts.
