Stage
Charlena is a heartfelt, entertaining, dynamic and knowledgeable international speaker that never fails to deliver. Her many years in front of the classroom as a top rated Grad professor allow her to read the toughest of rooms, and deliver a compelling message no matter the audience.
Her experience in the C-Suite allows her to feel fully comfortable pulling up a chair at the table with the worlds most elite. And her background growing up in a poor, but tightly knit community affords her the perspective of those that aren’t as fortunate. Charlena is as energetic and relatable on stage as she is inspiring in her comeback stories.
Actionable learning, with a slice of humor!
Almost all of Charlena’s sessions are based around the ‘How To’ mentality of getting things done in business and life. Nearly all of Charlena’s engagements begin with a trademarked personality assessment which allows her to speak directly to the hearts and minds of attendees.
By the time participants are done digesting her presentations, they genuinely have something of value to take away, and more importantly, to take action on – holding themselves accountable to actually making the most out of the investment they made in attending.
Highly aware of the balance needed to keep people informed and entertained at the same time, Charlena injects a light-hearted approach with her sessions and injects a little humor whenever possible.
She brings a combination of humor, relatability, and depth to every event.
Well aware of how painful it can be to sit in an audience, listening to some ‘expert’ yammer on, as they awkwardly navigate the stage, Charlena leverages her experience keeping the attention of her students in the classroom (those early morning and late evening classes with millennials, in particular, allowed her to develop this skill) to keep things entertaining and interactive, by keeping all her presentations up-to-date and regularly going down into the crowd (wireless mic required for this one!) and interacting with attendees directly.
