Leaders Unscripted

9: Being an Accidental CEO with Founder & CEO at Contenda, Lilly Chen


Listen Later

People may often fight for a CEO role, but having had it bestowed on her among the founding members of Contenda, Lilly Chen is truly excelling as a compassionate leader.

Her first experience in leadership shows us that the questions you ask yourself lead you to become a better leader for others. 

We caught up with Lilly on Leaders Unscripted this week, summing up her Facebook years, chronic illness recovery, and passion for lifting others.

This episode covers:

  • Dealing with chronic illness young, and finding her path in a monastery
  • Working at Facebook, and balancing job fulfilment with financial gain
  • Becoming a first time leader in an exciting startup
  • Whether the CEO role is a blessing or a curse
  • A company culture of moving work around your life, rather than the inverse
  • Asking yourself what kind of leader you want to be
