Signature Talks

Three talks, built to land

The Five Keys to Building Successful, High-Performance Teams

Great teams are built on purpose, not assembled from talent. What intentional team composition actually takes, and the habits that hold a team together under pressure.

Start Finishing: How to Go from Idea to Done

The mindsets and frameworks that move your best work from someday to done, drawn from the award-winning book.

How to Navigate the 5 Stages of Small Business Growth

What each stage of a growing business asks of the person running it, and how to prioritize when everything feels urgent.

Every talk is tailored to the room, and Charlie is often booked as the closing keynote — when an audience needs to leave with something it will use on Monday.
