Regarded as a Relationship Expert on radio and TV, her programs are known to tackle burning issues in our society, with the aim of equipping her audience and followers with everyday tools to deal with significant topics such as: conflict and anger management, integrity and compassion, mind power, communal accountability, adolescence issues, trauma and animal abuse – to name a few.

Charissa’s passion lies in Business Integrity and the cost of low integrity in organizations, as well as building integrity into all working and private relationships. She also works with Youth NGO’s to host programs on Integrity Leadership.

After consulting in various institutions and working closely with teams, Charissa realized that although institutions have Integrity as their core value, many employees do not understand what it means to apply this value in their everyday life.

Charissa extensively researched this topic to see if it can be trained and has consequently written her own training course, developed material and has been very popular giving talks on Radio and TV on developing Integrity at work and in the home.

Charissa feels that an organization’s success depends on the integrity of its employees and has witnessed the severe problems that result in the personal, professional and political arena, when anyone, at any level, acts without integrity. When an organization’s reputation is damaged, there ensues a tragic loss to both customers and good employees.

She uses her large media network coverage to educate, inspire and uplift, on a large scale forum.

Charissa was also privileged to consult on the Oscar Pretorius trial, due to her extensive knowledge on Anger and the Flight/ Flight response. She spoke on radio and TV discussing this topic.

Charissa uses humour, honesty and shares her own experiences as examples.

Currently she is working on her own TV show.
