If you’re not taking all of the candy in the candy jar, you’re exactly where you need to be. Anna Oaks is a change agent focused on restoring humanity into both our work and workplaces. Raised by hippies, she’s always had a natural inclination to leave the world better than we found it. She brought this proclivity from her childhood into over two decades of work in small, mid-sized, and large companies focusing on strategy, growth, and culture. She toggles between being both an intrapreneur, or working directly in companies, and also an entrepreneur, or working on solutions to make work better through her own company, Oaks Co. In this episode, Erin and Anna discuss what it means to be an intrapreneur vs. an entrepreneur (and why you’re probably already doing both), why intention overrules your opinion, and how doing what is asked of you and nothing more is saving our workplace culture. ICYMI – Your Post-Episode Homework: Think about your current role.  Maybe you're an intrapreneur listening to this show and you don't recognize that you are an intrapreneur. Or maybe you're an entrepreneur listening to this show and you lead a team of people and that team might include some intrapreneurs. How can you get more curious? Is this the season of your life that you are going to do that? Maybe it's not your season and you want to leave the candy on the table. But if this season feels like you can dream and you want to get curious, I want you to jot down a list of three ways that you're going to get more curious at your current role.   Connect with Anna Oakes: Anna’s Instagram Anna’s LinkedIn   Show Links: Tell us about your fails and/or send a question/voice message on SpeakPipe here!
