Still We Rise, Still We Lead is a Black History Month radio series highlighting Black leaders, creatives, and changemakers whose work spans justice, community development, mental health, and service. Through thoughtful conversation, the series explores how leadership is formed, sustained, and carried forward in real life.
In this episode, we sit down with Charise Beckett, leadership strategist, transformational speaker, and author of P.O.I.S.E.™: The Blueprint for Escaping Burnout, Redefining Success, and Creating Your New Reality. With more than two decades of experience working with women executives, CEOs, and high-performing leaders, Charise shares how burnout has become a defining leadership challenge and why a new model of success is required. We explore her P.O.I.S.E.™ Leadership Framework, the shift toward conscious leadership, and how women can lead with clarity, build influence without exhaustion, and balance ambition with well-being without sacrificing excellence. This conversation centers on sustainability, self-trust, and redefining what powerful leadership looks like in this season.
