Opening Doors to New Experiences
About Charlene Moran
I fell in love with books because of Nancy Drew. Raised in Massachusettes, when I was done splashing in puddles and throwing snowballs I retreated to my room and savored the adventures of the young, female sleuth. She gave me challenges I never dreamed of, taught me that curiousity opens your world, and to not take "no" for an answer. Go Nancy. I spent a good part of my youth eagerly awaiting the next book in her series to land in my hands.
Growing up in New England as a Gen X and classic latchkey child, I had plenty of freedom. I came home from school, figured things out, went outside, and came home when the street lights came on. There were no cell phones tracking my every move, no parents texting to ask where I was, and no GPS telling me how to get home after a day roaming in the woods.
For a very independent, first born, January Capricorn this all suited me just fine.
That independent streak has accompanied me my entire life. And so did Nancy's adverturous spirit and curiousity.
Real Person Alert. I moved to California when I was 20 with one suitcase. I have jumped out of a perfectly good plane, have done waterfall repelling in Costa Rica, and plenty of other things that make mothers worry. Like divorcing twice, being dirt broke, and other things I won't mention. Having a human experience. I studied psychology, law, real estate and Yoga. I have worked in restaurants, Home Improvement, FinTech, SaaS and those are the ones I can remember. I am happily married with 2 beautiful adult children and a stocky cat who meows like he was just stepped on.
I’ve always been curious about people, possibility, and what makes us tick. I started diving into personal development back in high school, long before it was an industry. No Audible, podcats, YouTube or social media, just BOOKS.
I am incredibly fascinated by why people think the way they do, and how many people do not think about how they think.
Professionally, I’ve spent more than 30 years working at the intersection of people, business, and personal growth. I’ve led teams, built cultures, helped companies navigate change, and worked across Sales, Customer Success, HR, and operations. At most of my places of employment, I have facilitated Professional Development Book Clubs. Watching people learn, grow, and become happier and healthier after being exposed to and applying the knowledge contained between within the pages is AWESOME.
Through leading these book clubs, I realized something:
We spend an enormous amount of time learning how to be successful at work,
but very little time learning how to create a life we actually want to live.
You can have the career, the accomplishments...and still find yourself wondering,
Okay. What's next?
Or, Is this all there is?
That's why I created Resilient Readers Club and then Discover Your Next Chapter.
I take the best ideas from personal development books and turn them into experiences you can actually do something with. Experiences that get you out of your head and into conversation, reflection, connection, and action.
I have a sense of purpose.
I'm here to help people live by design instead of default,
and to remind people that there is always another chapter worth discovering.
But wait! There's more!
Charlene Moran believes the right idea, experienced at the right moment, can change a life. After years leading people, building teams, and studying personal development, she created Resilient Readers Club and it's spin-off Discover Your Next Chapter. DYNC is a one-of-a-kind experience that transforms bestselling book concepts into interactive workshops that help women reconnect with possibility. DYNC promotes the authors, Charlene's way to give back to the experts who helped shape her.
OK Ok I'm done- lol :)
Books have life changing knowledge, but not everyone has the time or desire to read. Charlene has spent a lifetime creating space for, and sharing the best ideas and techniques from best selling books to those who would otherwise miss out on the insights.
Through engaging, fun and impactful conversation and interactive experiences, she delivers the knowledge
while promoting the books, authors and publishers.
Charlene's goal is to open the world up for others,
so they are empowered to become who they want to be by design, instead of living by default. Learn more at the DYNC Events Tab.

Our Story
It started with Resilient Readers Club, a group of 8 women reading personal development books together via Zoom.
The book discussion was more of an experience that contained thought provoking exercises and impactful revelations. In person meet ups started and the foundation for DYNC was built.
Our Community
We believe that building a strong and supportive community is key to our success. That's why we've created an expereince that puts women first, and fosters a sense of belonging and connection among our participants.
Our Future
Our Future
Life on auto-pilot equals a life lived by default. Just making through everyday is not how we were intended to live. To start living life by design, women need access to ideas and techniques that easily fit into everyday life, and make an empowering, immediate impact. Join us!
