If you're like most people, you've had good bosses and bad bosses. Some bosses have inspired you. Others have caused you to scratch your head and think, "How did this person get to be in charge?" But you might not realize that you have one amazing boss, someone who's capable of incredible accomplishment and legendary leadership, probably the best boss you'll ever have...YOU Yes, you. There will always be bosses, teachers, parents, and others to whom you are accountable. All those people will influence and guide you. But only you can choose your ultimate course--and I'm the Boss of Me will show you how.

Jeanne Beliveau-Dunn left childhood behind when she became fatherless at age 12. From this financially unstable starting point, which she calls contrast, Jeanne developed a philosophy of life based on love and meeting life's challenges with resilience and a deep willingness to learn. Now with more than 20 years of executive-level experience in the technology industry and having founded the Internet of Things Talent Consortium, Jeanne shares career-building lessons, strategies, and tactics, interspersed with stories about how she and others have used contrast, courage, resilience, and persistence to propel themselves forward into stellar careers in music, sports, real estate, technology, and many other fields.

With a passion for mentoring others, Jeanne offers this guide to developing a self-empowered approach to work, career, and life. The book delivers easy-to-follow instruction on how to

  • Build a Vision-Strategy-Execution plan
  • Develop a personal brand statement
  • Use networking to develop a bench of supporters who will help you bring your career dreams to reality

Industry Reviews

"Everyone, regardless of age, will benefit from reading I'm the Boss of Me because professionals have to be accountable for their careers and take charge of their lives, instead of relying on companies to guide them. Jeanne reminds us that we are all a work in progress and can improve ourselves so that we become more valuable as we make career transitions in our lives."

~Dan Schawbel, New York Times bestselling author of Promote Yourself and Me 2.0

"One of the most influential women in technology explains how she took control of her own life and career ... an exceptionally thoughtful, systematic and practical guide to what worked for Jeanne and why, and how lifelong learners of all ages can apply these lessons to themselves."

"In I'm the Boss of Me, Jeanne Dunne has written a heart-felt guide to self-improvement that is crammed with wise advice from someone who pulled herself out of a family tragedy and learned to craft her own happiness."

~ Ellis Rubinstein, President and CEO at The New York Academy of Sciences


"In working with Jeanne on the IoT Talent consortium, it is obvious the she has a passion for helping people create their own success. But it is more than passion; she plans, sets goals and takes action to achieve her goals.

In her book, I'm the Boss of Me she shares the operating model that allows her to be successful, not only in business, but in life.

Jeanne tells of the survival skills she has used to overcome adversity and talks about the people she admires and what she has learned from them. Jeanne gives her readers the strategies and tools to define and achieve their own success.

I've found it to be a great read. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to enhance their career, whether they are just beginning or well established in their journey."

"Jeanne has created an engaging roadmap to living a 'big and joyful life.' Grounded in her own humble and challenging beginnings, and her determination to move beyond 'survival mode,' she guides readers through the qualities and actions needed to live a life of purpose. It's refreshing to hear a successful business executive talk about every person's ability to choose love-not in a romantic sense, but instead related to passion, creativity, and connectedness-to become their own boss in life. Readers will come away energized and empowered to activate their own game plan."

~ Celina Morgan-Standard, Senior Vice President, Digital Learning Solutions at The New York Academy of Sciences
