Speaking

"Charis' presentation to our R360 chapters was one of the most creative and engaging talks we’ve hosted. She masterfully weaves together storytelling, symbolism, and hands-on experiences to create a truly immersive journey. Her use of custom materials, like hand-crafted wands and scrolls, isn’t just for show—it deepens the impact, making her message of transformation and fearless growth truly resonate.
Beyond her compelling content, Charis brings a level of thoughtfulness and personalization that resonates with high-achieving individuals seeking deeper fulfillment and clarity. Her ability to blend deep personal insight with an interactive experience is rare, and it left a lasting impression on our members. If you’re looking for a speaker who goes beyond the ordinary and delivers something truly memorable, Charis is it."

Bio
Charis Santillie is the founder of Charis Your Life®, Fearless Transitions Coach, dynamic speaker, and podcast host. She is a multi-faceted professional with over three decades of entrepreneurial experience and is also a Certified Fearless Living® Coach and Certified Fearless Trainer.
Growing up watching her parents build an award-winning gourmet pasta business, Charis learned early the value of hard work and resilience. But at 19, her world changed when a hot air balloon accident left her Dad paralyzed and sent her Mom into alcoholism.
Charis managed her internal crisis by becoming a hyper-achiever, giving her the illusion of safety and control. This defining moment eventually led her on a journey of profound healing—and a calling to help others break free from their own invisible constraints.
Her career has spanned diverse ventures, including managing high-stakes investor presentations in Silicon Valley, launching her husband’s orthodontic practice, and pioneering marketing technology—giving her a deep understanding of the overachiever’s drive, and the quiet longing for something more meaningful.
Entrepreneurs turn to Charis to master their hidden fears and find true fulfillment. As they become the Chief Emotional Officers™ of their lives, they learn to live with passion, purpose, and peace of mind while navigating life’s seasons.

Fun Facts: Charis sparked her fearless spirit by skydiving just one year after her family’s accident. Her furry assistant, a 5-lb Havapoo named Heidi, can be found napping on her desk during coaching calls.

Behind the Scenes
That's our 5-lb Havapoo, Heidi, in the top photo. (But yes, a little Photoshop magic was applied...I pulled out my tools from the days when I was a graphic designer to create that fun image.)
Heidi reminds me every day to sniff around for joy and find ways to bring play into everything!
