by

Since interviewing today’s guest for the show a few weeks ago, I have seen her new book getting all kinds of recognition. It’s even been included in a number of Best of 2020 lists.

I like to think that makes me look pretty smart.

Her name is Shellye Archambeau, experienced CEO and Board Director with a track record of accomplishments building brands, high-performance teams, and organizations

In the book, Shellye recounts how she overcame the challenges she faced as a young black woman, wife, and mother, managing her personal and professional responsibilities while climbing the ranks at IBM and subsequently in her roles as CEO.

In an amazingly inspiring story. I hope you’ll click the play button below to join our conversation now. For a summary, just keep scrolling.

In today’s episode, I ask Shellye about:

  • Her belief that Imposter Syndrome is not something you conquer but something you lean into
  • Why she hates the phrase “work/life balance”
  • Her secret to finding the right mentors and how that relationship can benefit both parties
  • And lots more!
