Egg whites and Pilates: A day in the life of a CEO who runs a recruitment firm in LA with her daughters

"My morning routine is non-negotiable. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, at 8 a.m., I walk between 2.5 and 3 miles very fast and then do an hour and a half of Pilates."

Susan Levine, the CEO of Career Group Companies, shared insights into her non-negotiable morning routine, which includes a fast-paced walk and an hour and a half of Pilates three mornings a week. Her dedication to fitness sets the tone for the rest of her demanding day.

"I’m a type-A perfectionist and highly organized and efficient, but I don’t use technology to keep track of my day. I have an extraordinary memory, but I always review my calendar for business appointments."

"I'm readily available for my clients and a mentor to my team while balancing my self-care."

Despite her busy schedule, Levine stresses the importance of balancing work with self-care and serving as a mentor, demonstrating her leadership approach both to clients and her team.

"I never put my clients off because, as I always say, the ride down from a place of success is much faster than the climb up." Levine's dedication to her clients is apparent in her philosophy of never delaying responses, ensuring that she maintains strong, ongoing relationships with both her clients and candidates.

In conversation with Business Insider, Susan Levine shared her highly disciplined routine, balancing business demands with personal well-being. Her insights into leadership, mentorship, and maintaining a work-life balance provide a clear picture of how she manages the dynamic responsibilities of running a growing recruitment firm while staying committed to her personal and professional goals.
