Charisse Walker is an author, speaker, and coach, and the author of Flipping the Iceberg.
Charisse Walker is an author, speaker, and coach who helps people see the ninety percent of a relationship that sits below the surface. A mother of six and a former college director who taught interpersonal relationships to thousands of students, she wrote Flipping the Iceberg after her own divorce, first as advice to her own children.
Charisse Walker helps men and women uncover the hidden patterns shaping their relationships. A mother of six, an entrepreneur, and a former college director, she spent years teaching interpersonal relationships and group dynamics to thousands of college students before writing Flipping the Iceberg: Discovering and Celebrating What Lies Beneath the Surface in Your Relationships.
The book came out of her own life: fifteen years of marriage, a divorce, and a second marriage that started rocky and held. Her signature iceberg metaphor invites readers to look at the limiting beliefs, unprocessed trauma, and inherited fears under the surface. Today she speaks, writes, and runs the four-week Flipping the Iceberg Workshop.
Charisse Walker is an author, speaker, and coach who helps people get to know themselves before they try to know anyone else. A mother of six, an entrepreneur, and a former college director, she taught interpersonal relationships and group dynamics to thousands of students, and is currently earning her Neuro-Linguistic Programming credential.
Her framework began in a kitchen. Her daughter asked why everyone loved her father and nobody could see the real him. Charisse answered that a person is like an iceberg: you see ten percent above the water and the ninety percent underneath is what decides everything. That conversation became Flipping the Iceberg, written first as advice to her own children and then widened to anyone tired of meeting a different person and ending up in the same relationship.
She is not a therapist and does not present the work as therapy. Her authority is lived: fifteen years of marriage, a divorce she came out of on friendly terms with her ex, a second marriage that started rocky and held, and years of professional study and teaching.
Her stated goal, in her own words: "My goal is to get people healed so they can make healthy decisions and then get to know the person they want to marry."
