Organisations today, are transforming themselves in order to rise to the complex challenges of the 21st century. INTRAPRENEURS can be the driving force behind this transformation!
It is the act of behaving like an ENTREPRENEUR whilst working INSIDE a large organisation.
Intrapreneurialism is the demonstration of business acumen, personal leadership & creative problem-solving abilities that enables employees to find, explore & implement worthy ideas that help the organisation to be future-ready and relevant.

Your Workshop Leader
Dr. Irena Yashin-Shaw (PhD, MEd, BA, CSP) is Australia’s leading authority on INTRAPRENEURIALISM. She is on a mission to liberate innovation, creativity and leadership within people and organisations. Innovation is unleashed when organisations are liberated from entrenched practices and out-dated processes. Creativity is unleashed when people are liberated from the mental shackles of default thinking and rigid mental models. Leadership is unleashed when individuals are liberated from constraints that stifle initiative and talent.
With a PhD in Creative Problem-Solving and a Master’s Degree in Adult Education, Dr. Irena is a highly experienced corporate educator adept at helping people to liberate their creativity and intrapreneurial thinking to solve problems and drive innovation. As one of Australia’s leading authorities on intrapreneurialism, she understands what works and why when it comes to helping people, teams and organisations learn, transform and evolve to be future-ready.
Driven by a belief that entrepreneurial talent is wasted in most organisations, Irena has developed a process for identifying, developing and harnessing it. She works with organisations and leaders who want a critical mass of high-performing, dedicated, energised employees who will propel the organisation forward with their creativity and innovativeness.
What people
have said!
“Each section of the Creating Intrapreneurs workshop built on the previous one. I was taken through an effective process to develop a pitch for my chosen workplace problem. By the end of the day I had the skills and knowledge needed to look at my problem in a new way, define it properly, and clearly explain to other’s what my proposed solution was. The webinar and 10-week follow up course has been great in helping me further refine my skills as an Intrapreneur.
I’ve used my learnings from the workshop to further refine the Innovation Framework for my department. In addition, our Innovation Champions group is now called The Intrapreneurs!
Dr Yashin-Shaw’s book, Intrapreneur: How leaders ignite innovation, break bureaucracy and catalyse change has been extremely useful. I used it as a reference throughout the day of the workshop and continue to refer to it.
Overall I’d highly recommend this course. Interesting, challenging, and very relevant to my work in an Innovation Unit. Anyone wanting to add additional value within their workplace and ‘stand out from the crowd’ should attend.”

“Hi Irena, thank you for a great ‘Creating Intrapreneurs in the Public Sector’ workshop and follow up webinar. Your workshop gave me back self-belief and confidence that I do have good ideas. I was almost at a point of giving up and becoming the type of public servant that people always joke about but I now have an enthusiasm and focus that I haven’t had in a while. Thank you. Your postcard is on my wall as a reminder that it is ok to be ‘brave’, to ‘challenge’ and ‘disrupt’ the norm.”
