About Charlotte

Coach, strategist,
people champion.

Charlotte Richards founded CJR Talent Solutions to do the work she's most passionate about: walking alongside people through the moments that change everything. Whether you're stepping into your first role, navigating a layoff, taking on a new leadership position, or balancing work and a growing family — she's here to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Currently completing her certification in Leadership and Performance Coaching through the Brown University and ACT program, Charlotte brings both rigorous training and deep real-world experience to every engagement. Her 12+ years inside organizations like Marriott International, Amazon Web Services, and Russell Reynolds Associates gave her an intimate understanding of what people need at every career stage.

Her background in psychology — including graduate training at George Washington University and certifications in DiSC and Predictive Index — means her coaching is grounded in how people actually think, grow, and change.
