Keynote Speaking

Charlene Davidson, A Certified Resiliency Coach since 2021 (Leadership Wellness Group), Char brings a wealth of personal experience from motherhood to her 30 years in law enforcement and being a firefighter’s wife. From her front-line roles to management, Char has observed some of life’s biggest stressors layered with today’s complexities and the way individual’s respond. Trained at the Women’s Leadership Institute, and a University of Ottawa graduate in criminology and psychology, Char prioritizes people. Investing in individual’s resilience fuels the human capacity to adapt and overcome life’s challenges, struggles, adversities and change in a healthy, productive manner, allowing the individual to bounce forward to be better than they were before.

As the American Psychological Association states: “Resilience isn’t a trait that people either have or do not have. It involves behaviors, thoughts and actions that can be learned and developed in anyone.” Char founded Fuelling 22 Resiliency Coaching in efforts to improve individual lives, workplaces, and communities through providing one on one, group, and organizational coaching. Char guides and supports individuals in adopting behaviors, thoughts, and actions that are common sense but are not always common practice to grow personal and organizational resilience. It is about getting back to basics such as knowing your why, brain function, sleep, healthy eating, movement, mindfulness, positivity, connection, restoration, and intentional living. Backed by neuroscience, micro practices are introduced to rejuvenate and grow individual resilience resulting in healthier, happier, more resilient people, organizations, and communities.

Char’s multitude of experiences and training bring a unique, real-world perspective on stressors, burnout, and resilience.
