CJ Bachmann of 1SEO on Going From Receptionist to CEO | Servant Leadership Podcast 33

CJ Bachmann started as a receptionist at a construction company after leaving college to support herself and others, and she told the president on day one that he would want to promote her. In this conversation with Greg Aden she walks through that climb to CEO of 1SEO, including what it took to be taken seriously as a woman in construction sales, why she says the confidence was not entirely real at first, and how a small tweak in how she presented herself opened doors that stayed open.

She also talks about the customer centric mindset at 1SEO and why employees are taught that the client comes first, the mentors who kept pushing her forward, her advice for young leaders to name the fear and go anyway, and the legacy she wants with her own children. Her core question for clients, employees and family is the same one Greg asks his clients: how can I help.
