Niki Perez: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome
Manage episode 412088106 series 3478612
In this week’s episode of Women Influencers, I spoke with Niki Perez, founder and CEO of Authentic CRE. Growing up, Niki was often targeted, abused, abandoned, and bullied. This chaos framed her reality and robbed her sense of identity. After having her son, she found a new purpose and surrounded herself with female mentors who taught her that being herself was her super power all along.
In 2004, Niki started as a Receptionist at a private CRE firm and ended up falling in love with the industry despite having also gone back to school to study English Literature. Her career has built to the point that she now owns and operates her own company. She credits her willingness to step into the unknown to an idea one of her mentors shared with her, “the cure to fear is identity.”
We talked about balancing our creative and analytical sides, her advice for anyone listening, and what my hopes are for women in business over the next 20 years.
“What we do defines us.” - Niki Perez
