Hi, I’m Charlene

I am a daughter. I am a sister. I am a mom. I am a wife. I am a friend. I am a co-worker. I am a boss. I am a life-long learner. I am my own unique person all in one.

For the better part of my life, I carried the weight of expectations on me. I acted as a people-pleaser, an over-achiever, and a perfectionist. Today, I release this self-imposed reality. I explore the possibilities in my life; I give myself permission to look for those possibilities and I consciously seek out ways to honor my strengths.

I still have admiration for these qualities, but through self-awareness, I have learned how to shift these from a burden to a gift. I choose to help others achieve what they really want for themselves and on their own terms honoring their unique strengths. 

“When who you are aligns with what you do and how you do it, success is yours.” — Bruce D Schneider

How can you be who you are At Your Core?

My coaching

With a kind approach, I challenge you to find out what is At Your Core. Whatever it may be that is keeping you from moving forward in your life, I challenge you to face that head on. Challenge those social norms that may be keeping you stuck, from realizing your true self or from allowing you to move through difficulty or uncertainty. There is not just one way to look at something.  There is not just one path.  There is your path. 

I ask, Why?

Coaching encourages relentless curiosity. I ask you powerful questions and together we explore your values, your thoughts, your feelings and your actions. 

For students transitioning to the next stages in your career, professionals looking to pivot to something different, parents transitioning to an empty-nest.  All these changes are filled with thoughts and emotions that will either lead you to action or inaction. Which would you like to choose?

I am here for you to explore your possibilities and engage in a powerful conversation.

Give yourself permission to explore your possibilities.
