Chantell Preston is a leadership strategist and trusted voice for women who want meaningful success without sacrificing their health, joy, or identity. After decades leading multimillion-dollar healthcare organizations and founding multiple ventures, she understands firsthand the cost of chasing someone else's definition of achievement--and why it's time to rewrite the rules.
As CEO of Preston Partners, Chantell works with organizations to drive growth through strategic planning, leadership development, and cultural transformation. She is also the host of the Get Real, Get Results podcast, where she shares candid conversations and practical insight to help ambitious women lead with clarity, confidence, and integrity--without burnout or constant pressure. Chantell's perspective and expertise have earned her recognition as one of America's Top 100 Women to KNOW, along with features in Forbes, USA TODAY, and US Weekly. A sought-after speaker and advisor, she challenges conventional narratives about success and invites women to pursue ambition from a place of alignment rather than exhaustion. Grounded in authenticity and action, Chantell believes leadership isn't about doing more--it's about making choices that reflect who you are now. Through her work and writing, she equips women to set boundaries, trust themselves, and integrate career, family, and personal growth in ways that actually fit their lives."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
