"There was no warning. No preparation. No goodbye. And in the days that followed, she had to find a reason to keep living."
"From that journey, The Purpose Finder Formula™ was born, not from a textbook, but from the intersection of personal devastation, divine clarity, and a calling that refused to be buried."
On November 9, 2014, Charisa Munroe-Wilborn's world changed in an instant.
Both of her parents, her foundation, her vision partners, her people, were taken in a plane crash on their way to a leadership conference. There was no warning. No preparation. No goodbye.
In the days that followed, Charisa didn't want to be here. She was devastated, lost, angry, and afraid. But on day four or five, a principle her father had instilled in her found her in that dark room:
That single truth gave her everything she needed to keep living.
What followed was not an easy road. For years she hid her grief. She was afraid to cry. She could not return to her childhood home for nearly seven years. She was angry with God. The cost of her unexpressed loss was profound, it nearly cost her her life, her joy, her peace, her self-trust, and her momentum.
But on the other side of her own personal transformation, she found what she now gives to every leader who walks through her door:
Charisa Munroe-Wilborn is a Leadership Strategist, Certified Coach, Keynote Speaker, and founder of Boardroom & Soul™, a movement equipping high-capacity leaders to close the gap between their boardroom and their soul. With 15+ years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and an MBA from Benedictine University, Charisa brings clinical precision and strategic depth to the inner work of leadership transformation. Her proprietary frameworks are The Alignment Model™, The Leadership Cost Principle™, and The Purpose Finder Formula™: L.I.F.E. that have equipped leaders across corporate, government, faith, and academic sectors on multiple continents. Her work was not built in a classroom.
On November 9, 2014, Charisa lost both of her parents Dr. Myles and Ruth Munroe, among the world's most recognized voices on purpose and leadership, in a plane crash. In the years that followed, she navigated grief, identity loss, and the weight of a global legacy watching. What she built from that devastation are The Boardroom & Soul™, The Internal Erosion™ keynotes, and the Pave the Path Retreat™ which came about from her own misalignment and the long, honest work of her own restoration.
She is also President of The Myles & Ruth Munroe Foundation and Vice President of Munroe Global Inc.
Charisa speaks not as someone who has studied these challenges. She speaks as someone who has survived them and knows precisely what the other side looks like.
To equip already powerful leaders to close the gap between their boardroom and their soul.
