LISTEN TO THE FULL EPISODE:
Anna Oakes is a wicked combo of hippie and business with a mission to restore humanity! Anna is THE person to talk to about intrapreneurs — the idea people, who display “entrepreneurial qualities,” that are often under utilized within an organization. Anna and Nikki discuss the ups and downs of the TEDx experience, their shared experience of removing coffee from their lives and the importance of taking ownership of your career to maximize where you are at now to get to your “best next”.
Major themes in this episode include:
Anna’s journey from entrepreneur to intrapreneur and leveraging skills learned in her corporate career,
the shared experience of being told you’re “too much” and how Nikki and Anna have dealt with this in their lives,
the importance of creating a patchwork of different passions and leaning into your strengths,
the process of pulling together a TEDx talk,
and Anna’s overarching mission to help restore humanity through collaboration.
