I employ a direct approach toward identifying and implementing the necessary steps to address the immediate goals of my clients, as well as promote insight and skill development for the long- term, self-awareness, and overall growth as an individual. I create a nonjudgmental, empathetic, and accepting environment catered to the individual needs and mutual collaboration of goals. This is consistent with my personality, such that I believe in individuality and diversity, as well as the need to understand the perspective of others. An open discourse is imperative.
Potential Optimization Consulting was founded after my private practice became consumed with professional women and minority clients having difficulty with managing their leadership roles in the workplace. It became apparent that this clientele often struggled navigating the nuances and stressors of corporate America and various institutions, particularly for persons of color. It became even more profound that the response to such stressors was often internalized and manifested in ways of self-doubt, anxiety, and an overanalyzing paralysis. This often led to burn out, incongruence with the self, and job dissatisfaction. I too suffered the same experience! After the implementation of various techniques, I developed a program to address this need for professional women and minority leaders…and the results were astounding. Hence, I founded Potential Optimization Consulting to help professional minorities excel beyond expectations in their leadership roles, making the shift from simply surviving to thriving in their career and enjoying their success while doing so!
Whether implementing diverse programs for organizations, leadership consulting individuals, or mentoring peers, Chanelle’s goal-directed, individualized approach, and integrity yield results that have led to a sense of fulfillment and enjoyment of success by many professional leaders.
