Colene Rogers

Colene Joy Rogers is a high energy, purpose driven believer with deep Florida roots. Raised on a farm in Central Florida in a Christian home, she learned early the values of faith, hard work, and resilience. She is married to Jim Rogers, and they have two adult sons, Denver and Chandler. Colene and Jim co own a leadership consulting firm dedicated to developing leaders’ people want to follow.

A conference keynote speaker and the author of Retention: Key Mindsets That Retain Top Talent, Colene spent 25 years as an HR professional before launching Retention Architects. She also devoted 13 years to church ministry, including a decade at Celebration Baptist Church in Tallahassee as HR Manager and Drama Director—she jokes “I was both drama manager and drama director.”

Colene thrives on the camaraderie of group fitness. Before joining Redefine Fitness, she never imagined enjoying weight training. But once she experienced the transformation in her strength, health, and confidence, she was hooked. With gentle encouragement from Dawn, she became a certified Power Strength instructor and now loves inspiring others on their fitness and wellness journeys. Like many women navigating midlife, she is learning to manage weight and hormonal changes and openly shares what she’s discovering to encourage others to keep moving, keep learning, and keep showing up. She believes movement is a gift—and she’s here to help others embrace it.

Hobbies & Interests: Traveling, reading historical fiction, hiking, and biking.

Unique Background: Colene began singing and acting at age seven and performed in regional and community theatre in Orlando. Her favorite role was Eliza in My Fair Lady, captivated by the character’s transformation. She put herself through the University of Central Florida using Miss Florida scholarship funds and by working in entertainment at Walt Disney World. She believes every one of these experiences prepared her to stand confidently before others today to teach and lead with biblical principles of character, integrity, trust, and empathy.
