- --------- My story as an intrapaneur What winning looks like What losing looks like Strategies Break out of your shell I’m an introvert and it takes a lot of energy to put myself out there My default move was to shut up and listen Now I actively force myself to speak up. In situations where I would normally be quiet, not put myself out there, I do it. Current role: appreciations. I plan beforehand who I will appreciate and why. It’s not the job of your boss, your coworkers, your CEO to understand your value and what you do. It is your job Quote: “Your value doesn't decrease based on someone's inability to see your worth.” I have struggled with trying to convey value. I throw together a powerpoint with what we do and walk away Keep continually demonstrating value as publicly as possible. How to demonstrate value Think big: docathon Take advantage of existing opportunities: demos Reach across the aisle: blog for marketing or help in other ways Be the voice of the docs: video (with you!) names in your help topics Lunch and Learns
