Charlene Wheeless

‍This talk takes participants on a journey with me from climbing the corporate ladder, shattering the glass ceiling, and hitting a concrete wall and still succeeding, to overcoming cancer, becoming a recovering C-suite executive, changing my world and creating a life of purpose, passion and unapologetic authenticity. In sharing personal experiences and stories throughout my career and life, along with modern-day research, I provide the audience with a look at how people are made to feel invisible at work (and sometimes in life), the toll it takes on their psyche, and how they can turn the tables to achieve beyond what they think is possible. This session shows you how, why, and the best way to chart a new path. With wit, humor, and seriousness, I share the secrets to tapping into your 7 Seconds of Courage, how to win, and most importantly, how to THRIVE.
