Shiny Object!
Brand Storytelling and Content Marketing for a Short Attention Span World
We’re living through the meh economy – the market is saturated with polite mediocrity. It’s time to wake up. It’s time to take a stand. It’s time to transform ourselves, our companies, and our causes.

Let’s be catalysts for passionate ideas. Let’s fill our purchase funnels, engage our prospects, and tell our brands’ stories. Let’s create big red Kool-Aid Pitchers of awesomeness that make our fans bust through walls and say, “Oh hell yeah!”

Fight the PowerPoint
Creating & Delivering Killer Presentations That Put Your Ideas in Motion
Reading bullet points to your audience is cruel and, unfortunately, the usual punishment. Quit blaming PowerPoint for bad presentations – start improving your storytelling and design skills. You are a passion transference device! If you’re not excited about your ideas, there’s no way anyone else will be.

In this talk, Charlie moves beyond the tools to share tips and tricks for perfecting your pitch, creating arresting visuals, and grabbing the attention of a distracted audience. This talk is a must for entrepreneurs, sales people, and anyone who wants to push their ideas forward.

Goal! Making This Year Your Best Year Yet
How to be productive, positive and passionate at home, at work and at life.
There are two schools of thought when it comes to goal setting: “Getting Things Done” and “The Law of Attraction”. They’re both right AND they’re both wrong.

This isn’t a boring seminar or pep talk – it’s a roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty work sessions. Bring all of your big hairy audacious goals, over-flowing to-do-lists, and “someday I’ll” folders. Together, we’ll get control of your attention, tasks and projects while we breathe new life into our work.

Butterfly Thinking
Firing-up the innovation engine to transform our economy and the world.

Designing your product, pitch or promotion to please everyone is the surest way to resonate with absolutely no one.
