Charlie’s journey starts and continues in the spirit of high-performance. As a former professional athlete, now communication consultant, his role evolved into leadership development. He's recently launched his own coaching company (CLR Connection) centered on mindset, communication & developing daily discipline. In addition to heading up a 1:1 coaching product in his previous role, he's also facilitated upwards of 700 + hrs of management trainings primarily in the communication space. He’s worked with founders, start-ups and growing companies in high-tech. He’s also trained across fortune 100 and enterprise companies that include Salesforce, Airbnb, Google and SAP. With an emphasis on influence and presence, his approach has always been rooted in leading by example through servant leadership and practical coaching. Training with coaches in sport and technology, his experimental approach helps leaders gain confidence and get out of their own way. Leveraging mental discipline as a cornerstone, he believes preparation is key to executing in the moment.

Before the jump into tech, Charlie was drafted in the 10th round of the 2009 MLB Draft by the Colorado Rockies. After years in this highly competitive environment thought to have one singular identity, he also works in career and role transition. He partners with individuals that have a background in sport, military, or leaders going through an overall industry change. His mission is to elevate stories of transferable skills, frameworks, and moments of resilience. His work provides skills to lead THROUGH transition, not just transition. This includes searching for new opportunities, navigating internal shifts and responsibilities or redefining existing skill sets from a past life. Once identified, he works to create habits to maintain leadership performance, no matter what industry you find yourself in.
