My Intrapreneurial Journey

As a Serially Successful Intrapreneur (SSI) and a dedicated professor with a knack for spotting patterns, my life has been an exhilarating blend of action and academia. Over the course of thirty years, I've delved deep into the art of fostering growth and innovation within established systems. This rich tapestry of experiences ignited a burning desire within me—to unravel the enigmatic facets of successful intrapreneurship. Thus, my journey towards creating "The Power of Hidden Treasures" began.

Exploring the Unspoken Language of SSIs

Throughout my illustrious career, I've had the privilege of engaging with remarkable SSIs like Zack Lowe from Waste Management, alongside a multitude of clients. It didn't take long to notice a critical gap in the landscape: the implicit strategies and mindsets propelling intrapreneurial success often remained shrouded in silence. This lack of clarity cast a daunting shadow over innovation within established organizations, rendering it seemingly impractical to many. I bore witness to the repercussions—fleeting successes and mishandled failures eroding trust and disengaging vital stakeholders.

A Pivotal Moment

The pivotal moment arrived during a conversation with a multinational company president, following a merger. His plea for a superior approach struck a resounding chord:

"Jeanie, you’ve got to show us a better way than what we used."

This plea ignited a fervent mission within me.

Thriving, Not Just Surviving

In response, I realized that within me resided a book waiting to be penned. "The Power of Hidden Treasures: How to Break Through Growth Barriers, Catapulting Your Business from Surviving to Thriving" emerged as the answer to that clarion call—an indispensable guide to leading businesses and projects with an unwavering focus on thriving. It's a blueprint for embracing fresh growth opportunities and confronting intricate challenges, all while harmonizing the intricate facets of business, technology, and human elements.
