Journey of the 2021 United States CEO for One Month

The Announcement

I am honored and beyond blessed to share with you the news that I have been selected as the 2021 CEO for One Month US representative!

If you had asked me just last week if I would be sitting down with C-Suite Executives and Senior Leadership at The Adecco Group, I would have laughed. But here I am, a stronger story-teller, an "art-heist" aficionado (Escape Room only of course), a beginner Italian cook, and a humbled CEO for One Month representative.

What drove me to apply for this once in a lifetime opportunity?

Pure curiosity to explore an understated industry. As we return to work whether that be in a hybrid or fully in-person model, I'm curious to see how we adopt to a new culture and mindset surrounding work-life balance.

This upcoming month will undoubtedly provide me an opportunity to be a bold entrepreneur and ask many questions, offer my innovative ideas, and learn how to create a Future of Work that includes everyone.

I truly believe that with this platform, I can encourage others to be their own superhero and develop a strong balance of curiosity, creativity, and courage.

Of course, no leader can fly solo. I am so grateful for my nine friends, inspirations, and teammates who I've had the privilege of spending time with and learning from. Each of them carries such a unique perspective that together, we embody the essence of future leaders. Thank you for leaving me with a smile on my face every day and a sense of family.

Allow me to reintroduce myself...My name is Catherine Liang and I am humbled and honored to serve as The Adecco Group's United States CEO for One Month.

Follow along my journey as I shadow c-suite executives and compete in the Global CEO Bootcamp!

What better way to be welcomed into a new role than by receiving the BIGGEST bouquet of flowers. After hearing my name called out as the recipient of the 2021 US CEO for One Month, I could barely contain my smile. This was truly the cherry on top of an already incredible day. I love that they even match my aesthetic throughout my website!
