How to become the CEO of your own life | Puja Talesara Bhandari | TEDxSeasonsStreet
In this insightful talk, leadership expert Puja Talesara Bhandari challenges our conventional views on leadership. She proposes that the most important enterprise you will ever lead is your own life, not with a title, but with intention. Bhandari introduces a powerful new framework: becoming the "Chief Energy Officer" (CEO) to manage your inner state and the "Chief Influence Officer" (CIO) to shape how that energy flows into the world.
Through compelling stories and practical insights, she explains how to align your inner voice with your true potential, transforming self-doubt into authentic influence. This talk is a guide to reclaiming your personal power, managing your energy as your most valuable asset, and leading with integrity in every aspect of your life.
