CJ McClanahan

CJ McClanahan is the founder and president of reachmore, a leadership training and management consulting firm. Over the past nine years, CJ has spoken to thousands of professionals and has helped more than 250 business owners and corporate management teams achieve record sales and profits.

As an author, CJ has written for numerous publications and was a regular columnist for the Indianapolis Business Journal. His first book, Thrive, teaches five simple strategies for anyone to live their extraordinary life. CJ also spent two years on the radio, hosting central Indiana’s premier program for entrepreneurs—Let’s Talk Business.

After beginning his career with Arthur Andersen where he helped organizations utilize technology to improve their processes, CJ shifted his focus towards the small business. He served as the Director of Finance and Operations for a mid-sized manufacturing organization and as a Director of Sales and Business Development for a software company with global sales of more than $20 million.

He began his consulting career as a licensed business coach with Action Coach and was soon recognized as one of the top coaches in the United States. He was named the “Rookie of the Year” and “Coach of the Year” in his territory and was recognized nationally with the “Action Man of the Year” award.

CJ’s coaching, speaking and training is built upon the simple belief that intellectually reaching your goals is easy. Unfortunately, very few people make the changes necessary to transform their lives. CJ’s unique approach allows him to build an emotional connection with his audience that leads to an actual change in behavior.
