Women’s Organizations

Charlene is an inspirational keynote speaker for women’s organizations that thrive on connection, courage, and community.

Through her CAP Framework—Claim, Activate, Practice—and her foundational mindset, “It’s Choice, Not Chance, That Changes Everything,” Charlene helps women rise from self-doubt to self-definition and from performing to purpose.

When she says “performance,” she’s not talking about quarterly results—she means the emotional labor of showing up as who we think we’re supposed to be. Charlene helps leaders replace that performance with presence—the kind that fuels confidence, clarity, and authentic leadership.

When women lead from presence—not performance—they don’t just elevate their own careers; they also inspire others to do the same. They build teams that innovate faster, cultures that retain top talent, and organizations that outperform the market.

Unapologetically authentic and grounded in lived experience, Charlene’s story is one of resilience, reinvention, and radical truth-telling. Her message isn’t about perfection.

It’s about presence, power, and the daily practice of choosing yourself—again and again—so you can lead with clarity, confidence, and conviction.

Perfect for: women’s leadership conferences, ERG summits, and empowerment events seeking a keynote that drives both personal transformation and measurable business impact.

Women-focus organizations bring Charlene to their events when they need more than motivation—they need a moment of awakening. Her storytelling, humor, and hard-won wisdom remind audiences that empowerment isn’t granted; it’s claimed.

“Charlene reminded us that we don’t have to shrink to lead. We get to expand.”
