Speaking engagements, workshops,
seminars and retreats

This work is highly experiential and immersive and is designed to ensure that participants walk out and immediately apply what they’ve learned. Follow-up support serves to continue to deepen learning and increase the return on investment. Many sessions work particularly well with a team of participants who has a specific focus, such as a sales team, a marketing team or an executive management team. In other cases, it works best if the session is filled with people from across an organization, or from diverse organizations.

“Charlena is an extremely gifted presenter and facilitator. Her work is both inspiring and challenging in ways that continue to provide value long after her direct contribution is over. By focusing on helping companies and individuals discover the true, authentic stories behind their brands and the value they bring to their customers, clients and coworkers, Charlena is at the leading edge of helping businesses to be competitive in the age of peer reviews, social networking and user-generated content. In this new environment, those who take the time and effort to look inside themselves and define their true stories (with the help of Charlena’s compassionate, insightful expertise) will be able to create the kind of authentic and trusted relationships that are increasingly the best way to ensure success.”
