Saying what others are afraid to with Communications Leader
Nancy Murphy
Founder & President, CSR Communications
Nancy’s 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 her Catholic school student days challenging stereotypes
of girls, to her first job after college convincing nonprofits to
engage youth volunteers, or her role as board chair of a global
nonprofit attempting to transform the way we do international
development, Nancy’s experienced the challenges of leading big
change within established organizations. As an “intrapreneur”
herself, she made all the mistakes you can make and now helps
others learn from them.
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 her clients included UPS,
Johnson Controls, Target, and W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
Nancy mentors and advises executives from local governments,
federal agencies, global nonprofits, foundations, and Fortune 100
companies.
As a trainer and speaker, Nancy’s shared her expertise from
Kuala Lumpur to Kansas City and London to Las Vegas.
Nancy holds a master’s degree in public affairs from the
University of Minnesota’s Humphrey School, a master’s in health
communication from Boston University, and a bachelor’s degree in
American Studies from the University of Dayton.
