Bio
Valerie Lane
I first worked with Charmel at Bowden/Kellett where she masterminded and designed a brilliant branding program for our agriculture business. Since that time, Charmel has coached me through several life and professional changes and reinventions. Her leadership and insight into what motivates people and how to navigate transition is incredibly valuable. Her warmth and authenticity makes her a treasure to work with. Charmel would be a valuable and loyal asset to any client or company.
Martha DiObilda
Charmel has expertise at project management, leadership and developing strategies to reach your goals. Charmel becomes very knowledgeable on a subject and has the capacity to then explain it so you can understand it. She asks questions so that she understands your goals and then works with you, developing strategies and timelines, and helps you overcome challenges as they come up.
