Keynote Speaker Beate Chelette

Speaking: Aligning Spirituality with Strategic Success

BESTSELLING AUTHOR | KEYNOTE MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER | FOUNDER OF THE WOMEN’S CODE | ONE OF HUFFPOST’S “50 MUST-FOLLOW ENTREPRENEURS” | SURVIVOR OF 9 DISASTERS

Hi, I’m Beate Chelette.

My journey is one of rising, again and again — from a broke single mom and immigrant, $135,000 in debt, to building and selling my business to Bill Gates for millions.
But success alone doesn’t tell the real story.

I’ve survived nine major disasters — from fires to floods, financial collapses to betrayals.
And the last one—the Palisades Fire—took it all: my home, my office, my podcast studio, my art, my history. Gone in a single day.
It could have broken me. But it didn’t.
Instead, it cracked me wide open.

What I learned is this:
The game isn’t about chasing more anymore. It’s about choosing better.
It’s about building a life and business that’s in full resonance with who you are, not just what you achieve.
It’s about aligning strategy with soul, ambition with meaning, action with energy.
Because when your internal alignment is strong, no external chaos can take you down.

The world is messy right now. The ground beneath us is shifting. Many feel lost, uncertain, questioning if the old rules even apply anymore.
That’s exactly why I do what I do.
I help leaders, teams, and entrepreneurs reframe the challenges they face — not as dead-ends, but as openings.
Openings to create something truer, stronger, and more deeply aligned than ever before.

My superpower is taking complex, overwhelming ideas and turning them into clear, executable strategies. I bridge the invisible (energy, resonance, intuition) with the practical (action steps, growth plans, business models) so your audience walks away not just inspired — but equipped to move forward.

Organizations and groups I’ve spoken for include:
The Los Angeles Philharmonic, United Way, Shelter, Merck, Johnson & Johnson, Chevron, the Women’s Caucus, The Leadership Investment, WomanUP!, and many others.

Whether speaking to a packed conference room or facilitating an intimate gathering of changemakers, my goal is simple:
Ignite hope. Spark action. Empower transformation.

Conversations and Keynotes

When the old systems collapse, the future belongs to those who can imagine, build, and lead from a different place — a place of alignment, resilience, and creative power.
These aren’t just talks. They’re strategic awakenings for your audience.

Here’s where we can go together:

Entrepreneurship and Creative Thinking
When structures fall apart, creativity rises. I show how entrepreneurial thinkers can tap into disruption, trust their instincts, and build the solutions that the future is urgently calling for.

Failing Fast, Rising Stronger
Resilience isn’t a slogan. It’s an art form. I teach the discipline of reframing setbacks into accelerators — and how to hardwire hope and resourcefulness into your leadership DNA.

Finding Hidden Business Opportunities
When the obvious paths close, the hidden ones open. Learn the true art of reframing — combining intuition and strategic thinking to uncover opportunities that align with who you are and what the world needs most.

Business Growth Strategies
True growth isn’t about scaling for the sake of numbers. It’s aligning ambition with fulfillment, profits with purpose, and designing strategies that feed your soul as well as your bank account.

Mergers and Acquisitions
In times of rapid change, hyper-specialization becomes a growth catalyst. I teach how to build a business positioned not just to survive — but to attract acquisition, investment, or partnership by design.

Creating Your Unapologetic Value Proposition
We’re conditioned to fit in — then punished for not standing out. I show how to break that cycle: how to articulate your unique value with unapologetic clarity, owning your worth without compromise or hesitation.


Every conversation, every keynote is designed to reconnect your audience to what’s real, what’s possible, and what’s next.
Because the future isn’t handed to us. It’s created by those who are brave enough to align, adapt, and lead.

Caitlin Angeloff

Head of Global Social Strategy & Operations, Docusign

Out of the myriad of insightful and informative presentations, I can, without a doubt, tell you I found yours to absolutely be the most inspirational. And inspiration, in my opinion, is the most valuable skill of all.

Callie Groth

VP Operations and Business Development, Brocktek

… I ended up at the University of Hartford listening to you speak. I immediately reached out to you. You responded, and we begin my VIP journey. I learned a lot about myself, my abilities, gain much needed confidence, and faced some demons holding me back from success. I finally was armed with the tools I need to get back to myself and grow my career as an insurance agent. My book of business started to grow before we were even through the VIP process. All the tools you gave me lead me to my meeting at reSET. With crazy confidence, my new tools, and new found self awareness I am embarking on something I never thought possible. I am developing a business plan for a business idea of my very own. You helped unlock a person that has me dormant for too long. I can never thank you enough. I am in the process of using my VIP materials to create my personal value proposition for my new business.
