Receptionist to CEO: Building Confidence as a Woman in Leadership | CJ Bachmann

How do you get taken seriously when people look at you and assume you do not belong in the room? CJ Bachmann started as a receptionist at a construction company after leaving college to support herself and others, and on day one she told the president he would want to promote her. In this episode of the Servant Leadership Podcast she shares with Greg Aden what she learned about confidence, reinvention, and women in leadership on her climb to CEO of 1SEO.

In this conversation: - Why CJ says her confidence was not entirely real at first, and how one small change in how she presented herself made it real - How to reinvent yourself by naming what is actually holding you back, and why many limiting beliefs are not real - Why 1SEO teaches every employee that the client comes first, and why asking clients "are you happy" brings the most valuable feedback - Her advice for young leaders: remove the fear, learn from mentors, and ask the people you lead "how can I help"
