Charise Beckett has always known that leadership is about more than holding a title. For her, true leadership is the art of building something that outlasts you, something that not only drives results but also shapes lives, communities, and futures.
As a seasoned leadership strategist, author, and founder of the P.O.I.S.E.™ Framework and Queens Behind the Scenes, Charise has dedicated her career to redefining what success looks like for women, particularly Black women and women of color. Her mission is simple but powerful: to prove that excellence and wellness can coexist, and that legacy is not a privilege reserved for a select few…..it’s something every woman can design on her own terms.
Her journey to this work began with an awakening. After years in high-pressure corporate environments, Charise observed a recurring pattern: leaders with authority but lacking true influence, individuals making decisions without a deeper vision for the people they served. This realization sparked her commitment to become the type of leader who would inspire others to rise higher, to lead with authenticity, and to prioritize both performance and peace.
The P.O.I.S.E.™ Framework was born out of this vision. It guides leaders “beyond burnout,” teaching them how to align strategy with soul, and ambition with well-being. It’s a system that has helped senior executives, scaling entrepreneurs, and emerging influencers not just manage their responsibilities but thrive in them, without losing themselves in the process.
Charise also recognized the need for a space where women could tell the real, unfiltered stories behind their success. This inspired her to create Queens Behind the Scenes, a platform dedicated to celebrating the women whose work transforms industries, communities, and narratives, often without public recognition. For Charise, these stories are not just inspirational, they’re roadmaps for others to follow.
Her impact is far-reaching. Clients who once struggled with self-doubt now speak confidently on global stages. Entrepreneurs who were burning out have restructured their businesses to generate more revenue while working fewer hours.
Leaders who felt unseen in their industries now command attention, influence, and respect.
But Charise’s vision extends beyond individual transformation. She believes that when women lead with purpose, they spark a ripple effect that strengthens entire ecosystems. "When one woman rises with integrity and impact," she often says, "she lifts everyone connected to her."
This philosophy has made Charise a sought-after speaker and thought leader across the globe. She is frequently called upon to speak on leadership, wellness, women’s empowerment, and the intersection of cultural identity and business.
Charise’s approach is refreshingly holistic. She doesn’t separate leadership from lifestyle, or strategy from self-care. Instead, she shows women how to build businesses that sustain them, relationships that support them, and legacies that speak for them long after they’ve stepped away from the boardroom or stage.
Her work resonates deeply in today’s fast-paced, hyper-visible business landscape. For women, especially women of color, navigating these spaces can be exhausting. Charise offers a different path: one where power is paired with peace, ambition is balanced with alignment, and leadership is measured not only by milestones but by the lives changed along the way.
"Legacy isn’t just about what you leave behind," Charise believes. "It’s about how you lead today."
Through her frameworks, platforms, and coaching, Charise Beckett is not only helping women build successful businesses, she is equipping them to craft legacies that redefine leadership for generations to come. And in doing so, she’s proving that the future of leadership is not just profitable……it’s purposeful, powerful, and profoundly human.
