Charlene Wheeless spent much of her career doing what so many successful women learn to do: proving herself.
During a remarkable 30-year corporate career, she was often the first and only Black woman at the executive table. She succeeded, but over time realized she'd spent years becoming who others expected her to be.
Then two cancer diagnoses changed everything.
In this conversation, Charlene shares what happened when the titles, influence, and carefully built identity no longer mattered quite so much. She talks about learning to trust herself, own her value, and make courageous choices without waiting for fear to disappear.
One of my favorite ideas from our conversation is her Seven Seconds of Courage™ strategy: acknowledge the fear, count to six, and on the seventh second, act. Send the email. Ask for the sale. Speak up.
Charlene Wheeless is a leadership strategist, executive coach, keynote speaker, and bestselling author of You Are Enough.
