#178 CEO Summit Part 1 Jeanne Johns - Turning Light Hearted Remarks into Career Game Changers

Welcome to Interview One in the 6-part CEO Series Visionary Voices where I explore the CEO Mindset and path to success. Could a light hearted remark spark a wonderful career? You bet! This happened for Jeanne Johns. "If you don't get discovered by the time you're 30, your career is over." This comment was shared by her boss when Jeanne was only 22 or 23 years old. Jeanne thought "Well, that's the game, I'll need to find a way!" This light-hearted remark became a driving force for her to get noticed and make impactful changes.

In this interview I have the pleasure of speaking with Jeanne Johns, the former Managing Director and CEO of Incitec Pivot, as she shares her remarkable journey from the Midwest to leading a world-class industrial explosives and fertilizers organization. With a 30-year career at BP, Jeanne played a pivotal role in transforming BP's safety and operating risk culture following the Deepwater Horizon accident.
So many great pieces of advice to soak up in this interview through Jeanne's journey. Enjoy tuning in.
