Charle Peck, LCSW, M.Ed., is a keynote speaker and author who equips professionals in high-pressure roles with tools to thrive under stress. Her keynote, Thriving Under Pressure, along with her leadership toolkit, helps individuals and teams perform at their best and create lasting impact across education, mental health, and helping professions.

She consults with education leaders on how to lead through stress and complex student behaviour using practical, neuroscience-informed strategies that support both staff and systems.

Questions

  Right now, many education leaders are navigating overwhelmed staff and escalating student behavior. What patterns are you seeing across schools—and why don’t traditional solutions seem to be working anymore?

  Leaders genuinely want to support teacher stress and student behavior, but often end up layering on more initiatives.How can they respond in ways that actually help—without unintentionally increasing burnout?

  There’s a lot of pressure on leaders to hold everything together. How can they lead effectively and support their teams without carrying the entire emotional and operational load themselves?

  You talk about consultation differently than most people. What does effective, ongoing consultation for school and district leaders really look like—and how is it different from one-off professional development or motivational sessions?

  If you could offer education leaders one powerful mindset shift—or one next step—that would make the biggest impact right now, what would it be?
