Who is Charlotte Rooney?
Work-life Balance Strategist, Coach & Mentor
She helps ambitious women to stop firefighting and start leading strategically so that they can get everything done without burning out.
She always knew she needed to run her own business because she hates being told what to do by people she doesn’t think are smarter than her (even if she realized later they might have known a bit more than a 22 year old …)
She never settled for a career that was anything less than exciting (she spent her 20s and early 30s in 12 countries across 5 continents leading volunteer teachers in the Himalayas, wrangling teenage entrepreneurs through setting up sustainable businesses in Bolivia and coordinating multimillion dollar emergency health responses in remote war zones in East Africa, before dabbling in public sector work and then tried her hand at McKinsey & management consulting - and a fast scaling youth employment start up where she was the victim of her own success and hired enough incredible team members to make herself obsolete).
Through all of that, one thing became increasingly clear - freakin’ incredibly talented women are everywhere, selling themselves short, burning themselves out and giving up on their dreams because they still believe that they have to trade off their happiness for their success. She burnt herself out on that lie - so you don’t have to.
Success should not come at the cost of a life you love.
