Before moving into business coaching, Charlie worked as a successful health and fitness coach. At one point, he trained an Oscar-winning actor and actress. During this time, he noticed a troubling pattern. Many of his clients were busy, stressed, time-poor executives struggling with energy and burnout. This experience sparked his passion for building resilience.
Charlie’s drive also comes from his personal story. As a young athlete, he dreamed of becoming a professional sportsman but struggled to perform under pressure. Later, at 21, he survived a traumatic car accident that left him hospitalised and his sister fighting for her life. This life-altering event inspired his research into resilience and overcoming adversity.
As a schoolboy, Charlie played rugby for England, West of England hockey, and county cricket. His early struggles with performance under pressure taught him the value of a growth mindset and mental toughness.
