About this Episode:

In this episode of the Transformative Leader Podcast, I’m happy to bring you a conversation with trainer, advisor, and speaker, Nancy Murphy, about the typical challenges that intrapreneurs face and how they can overcome them to realize their vision for change faster and with less frustration and resistance.

Often, leaders pay more attention to the advice that comes from an external consultant than they do to the internal resources. If you have experienced this as an internal champion, you won't want to miss this episode. On top of that, the lessons Nancy shares with us are equally applicable to entrepreneurs, and anyone who wants to create change in any community.

Nancy Murphy has spent her career saying what others are afraid to – and learning to say it in ways that others will listen. She’s the founder and president of CSR Communications and creator of Intrapreneurs Influence Lab. Her passion is helping leaders of change within established organizations (intrapreneurs) influence and persuade others so that they can realize their vision for change faster, with less frustration and resistance. 

From challenging stereotypes of girls in her Catholic school more than 40 years ago, to her first job after college convincing nonprofits to engage youth volunteers, or her role as board chair of a global nonprofit transforming the way we do international development....

She’s experienced the challenges of leading big change within established organizations. And she’s willing to share all the mistakes she made – and all the solutions she discovered – so that you don’t  have to learn them the hard way. 

Nancy’s worked in philanthropy for Steve and Jean Case’s family foundation, as a federal government program officer with the Corporation for National & Community Service, and as a global consultant for APCO Worldwide, where she designed and implemented sustainability, community engagement and philanthropic strategies for  companies such as UPS and Johnson Controls, and nonprofit organizations including W.K. Kellogg Foundation and Annie E. Casey Foundation. Nancy mentors and advises executives from local governments, federal  agencies, global nonprofits, foundations and Fortune 100 companies. 

As a trainer and speaker, Nancy has shared her expertise from Kuala Lumpur to Kansas City and London to  Las Vegas. She holds a master’s degree in public affairs from University of Minnesota’s Humphrey School, a  master’s in health communication from Boston University, and a bachelor’s degree in American Studies from  University of Dayton.
