Alice Collins, Co-Founder of Firefly Events, Content and Event production at Brand Events
Charlène is a super advocate for better mental health and I was delighted when she agreed to speak at Travelers’ “On Risk” Conference 2022 on “Sustainable performance in law”.
She gave an excellent presentation on the mental health challenges for lawyers and set out practical steps they can take to meet those challenges and thrive professionally and personally. It was an inspiring call to action and the talk was extremely well-received.
If you want to address these issues, I highly recommend Charlène to help you do so in an informed and engaging way.
Paul Smith CIRM, Senior Risk Management Consultant at Travelers
Charlene is an emotive and engaging keynote speaker. I attended a recent presentation she did for a group of solicitors on how they can best manage their health and improve their resilience thus maintaining optimum performance and avoiding burnout.
Charlene shared a number of useful and practical insights which people can easily adopt. She even did a short group coaching session which helped the audience to relax and increase their confidence.
I highly recommend Charlene as a keynote speaker for your next event.
Dr. Richard Fallon, MD and Marketing Consultant, Tedx Speaker
Charlene came to speak at our Advisory Distributors event on 23 June 2022. Leading up to the event, she was professional and a delight to work with. At the event, Charlene did not just come for the keynote speech and then leave, she joined us for the dinner the night before as well as all the roundtable discussions during the day. It really made such a difference and I feel that it gave the delegates a chance to get to know her more. The keynote was also interactive and we had the opportunity to try a coaching exercise and our delegates responded very positively to that. I would highly recommend Charlene to speak at any event about burnout prevention and performance.
