What Her Students are saying: 2011 Class Speak on Him has been a life changing experience for me. Charisse not only coaches on effective delivery of the spoken word, but she also guides and directs the class with a spirit filled heart.  My walk with the Lord has been changed forever as Charisse has given me tools to study God's word deeply so that I can effectively 'Speak on Him'! Sue Kaiser Ed. D., Administrator, Adjunct professor and Christian Speaker For years I have felt God calling me to be a speaker but I had never even taken a speech class. Charisse's class has prepared me for this ministry by equipping me with the skills I need to prepare different kinds of talks, to study a passage thoroughly and it gave me confidence. It was fun, challenging and a great learning experience. Charisse has a real gift of teaching God's word and preparing woman to be authentic speakers. Lana Collins Former Women's Ministry Director I find it impossible to adequately express my feelings of love and thankfulness for the skills and courage Charisse has given me. Her class has taught me how to pray for my ministry, how to research my material, and how to focus on my audience. Her methods for organizing the structure of my message into effective opening, message, and closing has made me feel more confident about not only my speaking, but also my writing. Her communication skills and gift for teaching, have equipped me to speak God's truth. Judee Stapp Writer and Speaker Before taking the "Speak on Him" class, I had prayed about a way to put a voice to my soul to express all that God has put in my heart about what He's taught me. God answered that prayer so specifically. Charisse's credentials are impeccable, and her broad experience in the teaching profession, both at the college level and for women's Bible studies is such a resource for those wanting to learn how to use study tools, do research, develop an outline, and write and speak on the things of God. Charisse emphasizes our responsibility to be well-prepared when speaking about topics related to God, and to always have in mind that our goal is to bring glory to God, not to ourselves. I highly recommend this class to anyone who wants to advance their communication skills in presenting God’s word. Paula Long Church Counselor, Children’s Ministry Leader and Sr. Administrative Professional 2010 Class I have been a member of Toastmasters for many years and felt God calling me to step out and use the gifts He has given me to honor Him. But I didn’t know where to start! I thank God that He directed me to Charisse. After taking her course, I was able to expand on the skills I learned from years at Toastmasters and incorporate proper Biblical teaching into my talks. Her passion for preparing her students to effectively and accurately communicate God's word is a blessing. Lynne Leite Award Winning Toastmaster Charisse's class has been an invaluable experience for me! She has taught me how to study the Bible with deeper insight, and how to have confidence and faith even when going through a new and challenging training process. But most importantly, I have learned how to speak more effectively for the Lord, and that has been the best blessing! Charisse is an amazing servant of our Lord! Sharon Kirby Bible Teacher and Poet Charisse, this class has been an answered prayer. I have had a desire to work on my speaking and writing skills and you have been the perfect Coach.

Becki Melli M.B.A. 2009 Class Charisse, you are wonderful! For years I felt God calling me to speak and/or write. I never did anything about it because I didn't know how. With your class, you have equipped me. I praise God and thank you from the bottom of my heart. Esther Clark Award Winning Toastmaster Charisse, this class has been the best thing I ever did. It has stretched me beyond what I thought I could do. It will advance the ministry God has called me to, no doubt. Sharon Joyner Gospel Singer and Songwriter Charisse's class equipped me with the skills to effectively relate my testimony in a way I never thought possible! I am so thankful to have benefited from the clear talent God has gifted her! Sean Caldwell Bible Study Leader I've attended and taught Bible studies for many years. Charisse sharpened my study skills, taught the importance of sticking to the "aim" of my talks, and enhance my speaking with personal illustrations. Her passion for God infuses all she does and has caused me to become a better speaker. Tricia Kirchmeyer Bible Teacher Charisse is a gifted communicator and teacher. Before her class, I was comfortable teaching in an interactive format, but uncomfortable speaking in a lecture format. Because of her upbeat coaching style and excellent teaching ability my speaking and confidence improved greatly. Hilary Cox Leadership of Small Group Ministries This course has prepared me for a speaking ministry by equipping me with the ability to study a Bible passage thoroughly, prepare different types of talks, keep my audience in mind as I prepare and when I speak, and to present in a manner that will keep the audience engaged.
