Charles Clark, A World Class Athlete

Charles provided a dynamic presentation to our attendees. He had them engaged and participating the entire time. His team was easy to work with and was always there to answer any questions. Overall, great experience.

The energy Charles brought to the event was amazing and contagious! Our staff was engaged throughout the event and left with a renewed sense of self appreciation. Charles is definitely a gifted speaker. Our staff reviews were glowing and had nothing but positive feedback for the motivational speaker. Charles even took time to take pictures with our staff after the event, which they loved, and it wasn't even in the contract! I would definitely recommend Charles for your next event 10 out of 10!

From our first phone meeting, I knew that Charles' story and approach to overall mental health would resonate with our group of over 300 early childhood teachers. The process of booking Charles to speak at our event, tailor his message to our audience, and deliver an engaging keynote for us was seamless and made planning a large event so much easier! I wish we had more time because we could listen to Charles speak all day...I highly recommend Charles and his team for both small and large events--because he makes everyone feel like family.

🔥 From the very moment Charles stepped onto our town hall stage, I knew we were in for a transformative experience. As a team comms manager, it's crucial for me to ensure that the messages shared with my team not only inspire but resonate on a personal level. Charles Clark achieved this and more.

✨ A little backdrop – Charles is not just a speaker; he’s a living testament to perseverance and determination. A three-time NCAA Champion and ten-time NCAA All-American, he once held the title of the 6th fastest man in the world! But it was his journey after a life-changing injury and his rediscovery of self-identity that truly struck a chord with us. It's a story that reminds us that life's challenges are but a prologue to our future successes.

😂 Not only did Charles present insightful anecdotes from his past, but he effortlessly intertwined humor into his narrative, making the entire session both entertaining and impactful. His ability to tailor his address to our team, based on a few specific asks, showcased his innate talent for understanding and connecting with diverse audiences. His strategies and engaging style of speaking made it clear why he’s such a sought-after motivational speaker.

🌈 When asked to rate his address on a scale of one to ten, I found myself compelled to give him a whopping FIFTEEN! The overwhelming feedback from the team reaffirmed my sentiments.

👏 In conclusion, if you’re looking for someone who’s genuine, funny, engaging, and can deliver a message that strikes deep into the heart, Charles Clark is your go-to. His journey from the tracks to the stages and podcasts of the world is not just a testament to his indomitable spirit but also an inspiration for all of us looking to find and redefine our paths.

Thank you, Charles, for going above and beyond and delivering an unforgettable experience. You have set the bar high, and we are ever grateful!

"Charles was fantastic! Great energy. Relatable. Actionable advice." That was one of many rave reviews from our attendees about Charles Clark's keynote at our conference. He opened the last day of the conference and brought incredible energy right from the start. Attendees were engaged and inspired.

As a planner, Charles was also incredibly easy to work with. His team is very responsive and the pre-planning process was smooth. His website has everything you need, including headshots and walk-on music, to make the promotion and planning processes easy. Thanks for everything!

Charles Clark did a great job of connecting and was well received by all staff! He is very personable and easy to relate to! Charles offered many practical, motivational strategies for both personal and work related situations! Recommend, especially for educators and athletes...

Charles keynote to our group was phenomenal! All participants felt the presentation was right on the mark and exactly what we were looking for to rekindle energy within our company. We loved the spirit and enthusiasm and great sense of humor in the real life motivational examples Charles told. The multi-family housing industry faces challenges that can drain our team, so we were looking for a speaker that could help us regain our zest for our livelihood and inspire our team. Charles set us in motion to THRIVE! Thank you for making such an impact; you truly deserved the standing ovation everyone gave you!

Charles is so inspiring! He has a contagious energy for life!
He shared his vulnerabilities and a pathway to wellness that inspired attendees to walk away with a plan to work on themselves. He shared his passion about overcoming obstacles in life with choices that include healthy routines. He hit a cord with the audience by tuning into who was in the audience and making them feel he understood the struggles because he has been there himself, providing insights and ideas to achieve greatness. It was genuine...he's not just telling a story, overcoming obstacles is who he is.

Charles presented with lots of energy and excitement along with audience engagement! This was Keller William's 2nd year with Charles as our keynote speaker and he was excellent and well received by our group of agents and leadership. His enthusiasm level was contagious and his team was great to work with. Highly recommend Charles Clark.

Charles Clark came to speak at our BOMA Orlando May luncheon and he was a hit! Friendly, funny and had our entire membership engaged throughout the presentation. His anecdotal stories helped everyone to connect and relate on their own personal journeys. Afterwards, he had a line of members waiting to not only purchase his book, but to also speak to him and share their stories with him. We would recommend him time and time again. Don't miss out!

What an amazing experience ! Although this event was done virtually, Charles' motivation and hype was contagious ! Walking away from this experience feeling empowered and ready to THRIVE ! We highly recommend him! It's an event that you won't want to miss!

Charles did a great job for our event. For most of our attendees, this was the first time they'd been to an event where our keynote provided such motivating, inspiring, and thought provoking insights. While we all perform different duties and jobs and our life experiences vary greatly, the general message of believing in yourself, never giving up, and always being able to adapt to adversity resonated throughout the room and within ourselves.

Charles really kicked off the conference day for us. He was high-energy, fun and also incorporated some humor. This was a full day conference on a Saturday so I liked how he opened up the day for us. He did his homework to make sure he was on-topic and related it back when he could to what we would be discussing later in the day.

Charles brought the energy we needed to boost up our event! We were focused on our teams and their purpose around the work they do everyday and how it benefits our communities and Charles really helped with that message! I would definitely recommend him if you're looking to re-energize your events and really connect with your people!

Charles, you knocked it out of the park for us!! Your energy, authenticity and inspiring message set the stage for our annual conference, and left our park and recreation professionals ready to take on the world. Even now, a few weeks out from conference, attendees are still feeling the energy and putting your message to work.
Thank you for opening our event for us!

Charles came to our corporate construction Annual Meeting and wowed everyone there. His story-telling skills and vulnerability resonated with all 200+ employees in attendance. All the feedback we got from our Annual Meeting included how awesome and motivational he was. Charles is a such a class act and kind human being and you NEED him as your speaker.

My organization connected with Charles because we needed a speaker for our annual fundraising event. I have never worked with a speaker that was so attentive to details. Charles took the time to meet with us to ensure he was an excellent fit for the event. We met again to discuss his speech and even touched base on his performance post-event. The communication with his team is top-tier, and he is delightful to work with. He can be flexible, is energetic, and knows how to engage an audience. He has set the bar high for the organization. I don't know what we will do next year because his performance has set the bar high. He pays attention to details, and it shows.

Charles delivered an amazing presentation from start to finish. He was so natural and approachable in the way he engaged with the audience. He provided valuable day-to-day techniques to implement positive changes.

Charles spoke in front of our small group and did a great job! Several attendees commented that his motivational talk is what they needed to hear. He was very genuine and down to earth and interacted very well with the audience. Communication before, during, and after the event was great!

Charles wowed an audience of hundreds of higher education professionals, and I'm so glad he agreed to speak at our conference. He brings such energy and authenticity -- the audience was glued to his every word. I highly recommend him as a guest speaker to get your crowd energized and positive. He spent time asking the right questions so that he could tailor his presentation to the audience's needs. He followed up multiple times before the event. His event coordinator, JC, made sure that everything would be smooth and organized. I'm so glad we found him!!

Conference attendees were very inspired by the talk delivered by Charles. One attendee even said that he was "blessed" by Charles' talk and it helped him with some things that he is going through in life at this time.

Charles was by far the best motivational speaker our company has ever hired. He kept our employees engaged and truly made them feel heard, seen and valued! I have a wide range of employees from ages ranging from 18-78, and different cultures and backgrounds from all walks of life. Charles truly impacted each and everyone of them. I would recommend Charles to anyone in need of a motivational speaker without hesitation.

Hearing Charles Clark's story, was a revelation that life's races do not have have to end at the finish line. In fact, the best may be yet to come. Charles' energy is infectious. Even with 2 knee replacements and a hip replacement, I felt inspired--as though I could run a marathon! Thank you, Charles. May God continue to bless you in this important work.

Charles brought the energy to our meeting, even doing his speech live virtually for us. He captured the teams attention immediately. Unlike some speakers, Charles was 100% relatable, sincere and down to earth. He kept it real throughout his speech. I saw numerous team members taking notes thru out, as he gave us a lot to think about and consider. One of my favorite points he made was you can choose what is on the other side of fear - anxiety or a new destination. Its so true and gives me a different look on how to approach things I'm anxious about. Thanks from our entire team!

Charles captured the audience's interest in our virtual event. The energy Charles exuded could be felt by the entire intergenerational audience. Great Job and worth the investment!

I was challenged to thrive and find my why.

Charles is passionate, humorous, insightful. He has a great personality that shines through. Very easy to listen to, and a great motivator.

Great speaker with good takeaways.

So many great things from this presentation, but I especially like the idea of "finding your why." It seems foundational. If we don't know what we are living for, our lives are going to be without direction or purpose.

I recently started a tutoring business and I am constantly researching how to be not only the best tutor I can be but also how to be the best businesswoman I can be. Charles just helped me to realize I have the ability and can make the choices to build this business with integrity and to be healthy while I do it. I'm psyched to have discovered Charles!

I was truly impressed by Mr. Clark's message. It has helped me to know how to analyze situation(s) in a new light. Thank you for allowing God to use you in such a powerful way. Thank you for giving back to our community.

Love the practice of excellent -- who we are is the product of what we consistently do! The quality of our life is directly connected to input: what/who has the most noise in your mind -- that will become your vision. Know and act on your WHY vs. asking WHY!

Charles was phenomenal as the key note speaker for our organizations corporate retreat. He was able to engage with our group and hit our hearts and minds in an incredible way to help our organization THRIVE. Thank you Charles!!

Charles,
Thanks again for delivering an upbeat and motivational message to our employees last week. Your messaging and conversation about conquering adversity and taking charge certainly resonated with our employee base. I had a number of individuals pull me aside during the day and share their gratitude and appreciation. Even got a text from an employee stating - "Charles was a great speaker and I needed to hear that at this time in my life."

Thanks again!

Charles Clark brought the energy and synergy needed to kick-off our year! He was able to connect with our student-athletes on finding their inner drive and visualization of success. Our coaches raved about how he brought home some of the messages they were trying to emphasize with their teams. He clear message and engaging personality made for a seamless conversation with our students.

Charles exceeded our hopes and expectations and I could not recommend him more highly. He was able to make a connection with our audience, support them in thinking deeply about how to thrive, offer words of encouragement and advice in bringing these ideas to fruition, and inspiring all of us to reach further than we thought possible individually and as a community.

Charles Clark was an incredible speaker that we had attend our company's annual sales summit. We kept to a virtual format and he ignited the entire session which is so difficult to do via Zoom. We have received nothing but positive reviews from all attendees - he truly made a big impact on the group. As an Event Planner, I would love to work with Charles again. Not only is he wonderful but so is his staff that helps manage him. You will not be disappointed if you book Charles Clark!

Charles was outstanding setting the tone for our conference with his high energy presentation.

Our attendees loved his positive, encouraging message. They left the sanctuary with smiles on their faces and ready to do their best in the coming school year.

Charles was wonderful as the commencement speaker at our graduation ceremony! He kept the audience engaged, was encouraging, and motivated everyone to want to go out and thrive! Charles was so good many of our students and family members were wanting to take pictures with him after the event.

Hire Charles, you won't be disappointed!

Charles presented an interesting and engaging talk to our group tailoring his comments specifically to our groups profession and the challenges we face. Our group was small and Charles presented in an informal and relaxing environment that kept the group engaged during his presentation.

Just attended event held by Success1st.org event where Charles Clark was the keynote, you inspired me to now scrape the sky of life with your skyscraper presentation! Continue to use your life to propel others as you have to me and others this day!

You Can Make It Living Life Completely (YCMILLC)

Great background for Zoom.
Great energy.
Loved the preparedness and enthusiasm

Charles was the perfect speaker for our event. We had an All Hands meeting with a team who hadn't all been together in person ever, as at least half of the team members started after our company went fully remote during the pandemic. I wanted someone to bring energy and insight to kick off our meeting, and Charles did exactly that! He is authentic and incredibly personable, and most of our attendees said he was their favorite part of the day. I would recommend Charles for any event!

We had a team meeting for a Global Healthcare company and hired Charles to give a motivational talk to help kick off our year. He hit the ball out of the park! He had a team of over 100 people engaged and impressed the whole group! We had hired speakers in the past to help with kickoffs, but Charles was the best! The way he energized the room and kept the crowd engaged, demonstrated why he was a world class athlete, and highlighted the lessons he brought to our group!

I highly recommend him for other speaking engagements -- you WILL NOT be disappointed! Thank you, Charles, for helping us launch a GREAT event!

Great keynote presentation. Great energy. Very engaging.

Charles was very engaging and motivating. I left feeling very inspired by him!!!

Excellent speaker

Charles' style is a perfect blend of positive energy and a genuinely warm , engaging nature . He speaks with deep compassion and humility.

I really enjoyed Charles' session on the AIRS virtual conference on April 28, 2022. He was very well spoken and insightful! I gained so much from listening to his session! I hope he returns next year to speak again!

Charles Clark's presentation was highly engaging. Definately a motivational speaker. Talked about his personal life some which was very interesting. Little tidbits of knowledge he has learn through his life but touched often on his current life irregardless of hurdles he has met. Loved "procrastination amplifies assination". Not in my work life is that relevant as a have a high pace job with call taking. But when I leave work it does happen just due to the down play of my day, change in the pace. That quote hit me upside the head. I will use often to help with getting things done that I seem to put off often when not working. Best presentation of the conference!! Thank you, Charles Clark.

Awesome motivational speaker. He could provide in person presentations at hospitals and long term care facilities as many health care providers are struggling to keep their passion and motivation post COVID

This session was very uplifting, engaging, and full of encouragement! A reminder of one's inner self and the ability to overcome any obstacle if you are in the right mind set and persevere every day!

Very motivational

Words can't describe how powerful of a speaker he is. His energy and his vibe made me want to thrive for bigger and better things. This is just what I needed. He is Blessed with a great talent and I'm glad I got to witness it!

Very sincere and authentic. Gets you pumped up and wanting to make positive changes in your life.

Charles was uplifting and motivating! I could listen to him speak all day!!

I saw Charles Clark at the Airs conference and he was amazing. Really inspiring and allowed me to reflect on my own life. His enthusiasm was contagious.

Charles' natural enthusiasm comes across online which really impresses me. His infectious energy naturally buoys you up and engages you in his sharing of stories and practical and achievable tips.

I enjoyed it so so much! You were fantastic! I am a positive glass half full person but you brought motivation and
positivity to a whole other level.

Great keynote session, engaging and relevent.

We enjoyed having Charles as our final Keynote Speaker for our virtual conference, with over 1300 people attending. He was personable and enthusiastic, and we appreciated his humor. Everyone relayed that they felt he connected well with them, even without a physical space. We would have him back anytime!

Relevant, touching, humorous--our sixty minutes passed in a second. I have a very seasoned and serious team--Charles' message was on point and spoke to the heart of the messaging--Thriving through Adversity. The best and most common comment I heard? "Wow I really needed to hear that, and I felt like he was speaking directly to me". I can't recommend Charles enough for his professionalism, his energy, his integrity, and for touching the hearts of my team.

Charles was upbeat, and fun, and did a great job of engaging a remote audience!

Charles was the Keynote Speaker and the end of the AIRS conference. I first want to say that I have been going through some very difficult time. I have been dealing with feeling of brokenness and despair. Your keynote speech was phenomenal. It gave me a new perspective and made me realize that this is just the climb to the top, not the end; that there will be steps back, gaps and rough edges, but once I get past them it will all be worth the view from the top. I am very grateful for having the opportunity to hear you speak and have downloaded your podcasts and cannot wait to listen. Thank you again for sharing your story and giving hope to someone who has been so hopeless.

Charles shared with our AIRS Conference today and he was exceptional. So personable and entertaining, yet his comments and insight packed a whallop! Motivation us to take a good look at ourselves and determine our passions so that we can become the best that we can be, at any level. This was definitely one of the best hour's I've experienced in a long time. Thank you, Charles!!

Great to hear your speak today. I needed to hear this today. I will observe, breath and choose to align my choice to my passion, as I have throughout my life. Thanks for the encouraging words to keep on living my best life.

Charles was very encouraging and it felt like I was being lead by a friend. He was welcoming, funny, and reminded me of what's really important in life and it's MY choice on how life unfolds. I choice what gets my focus. I loved every minute of your talk. Thank you from Houston, TX.

Charles, I am SO grateful for your talk and your energy as I REALLY needed to hear this today. You gave me hope and elevated my mood. I feel I now know what to do: what actions to take and how I need to do that. Thank you so much!

I believe that we cross paths with those that have a message for us or to teach us something when it is needed the most. I was meant to hear your presentation today. I struggle with anxiety and depression and I have been pushing myself to not be afraid of the unknown. For the first time in a very long time I am learning how to put myself first and listening to you today has provided me so much encouragement and enthusiasm that I feel I can conquer the world, so thank you very much for your time and for what you do by sharing your experiences and your talent for motivational speaking.

It was good stuff. I going to head to the pod cast to learn more about how to dream..without the other foot dropping

I have struggled with things but have learned to grow from them. However, lately I have been struggling again because of circumstances beyond my control. This has manifested in me not taking care of my health. I put my efforts of selfcare (weight loss and exercise) on hold to take care of my in-laws (Parkinson's, dementia, etc). I truly enjoyed your speech. It reaffirms so many things for me and I needed to that reminder. I need to care for myself so I have the strength to keep helping them.

Your session for the Airs program on How Thrive was so engaging and insightful. It was motivating and rewarding for my spirit and you talked and touched upon so many key jewels to practice for my daily life. I really need your books or podcast to give to my brother because he's in a slump right now and I know this will raise his awareness and make him feel his purpose again.

Charles and his keynote speech was so inspirational. I was lucky enough to attend the AIRS conference online recently and was able to see and hear this wonderful speaker! I had been feeling stuck, not motivated, lost in my purpose. In my personal life, I was dealing with some setbacks and grief. But his story and "tips" made me realize that I hadn't lost my magic and my superpower after all! And I am worthy.

Learning the lesson of "Respond to Stress vs. Being Stressed" and taking the action to breathe is going to part of both my morning, midday and night routine. It really does help set the tone to reset of my day and refocus on my goals.
I am going to share "Choose to align your choice to your passion" with my 29 and 23 year old sons. Especially since they are in a transitional phase where family is always commenting on their choices.

I found that you, Charles Clark to be energizing and authentic while providing a great messaged.

Charles's energy is infectious. I loved the balance between personal vignettes, advice, and motivation. It sparked a moment for me to realize where I was and what I wanted to do/be.

The AIRS conference saved the BEST for last. The past year and a half have been rough for me physically, mentally, and spiritually. My spirit has been rekindled. I can make it through if I focus on self-care and becoming my EPIC self. I am worthy! Thank you, THANK YOU!

While I listened to you talk I started thinking about something I have wanted to do for a really long time. I grew up with a really bad self-image/body image and it took me a while to understand that it affected the younger generation of women around me. I really want to talk to people about their self-image, their body image because we as a people have really made it hard to be proud of who you are because there is so much emphasis on what we look like and how much we weigh and what size we are. I want to help people see that you don't have to conform to the societal standards of beauty to be worthy of success, happiness and love. I think I need to talk about what I went through growing up the fat girl and living as the fat, poor girl. Not sure how that will begin but I am going to work on finding a way to positively impact other people's lives with my story. Thanks for your talk.

Charles spoke at our conference for Alliance of Information and Referral Systems. He was very inspiring and provided his listeners with tools to empower themselves. I would recommend him for any speaking engagement. I really enjoyed his message of the importance of reading. Thank you, Charles for a wonderful presentation!

Charles, you absolutely inspired me and brought tears of joy, laughs, and deep reflection to my morning! It was 9:45am here in Hawaii, and an hour with you (re)set the pace of the day. We were blowing up the chat and reactions! You truly reminded me that everything happens for a reason, and everything we need we have right now. I NEEDED your EPIC keynote to wrap up the AIRS conference today. Thank you so much for sharing your light with the world. You help so many of us continue to grow the brightness. Your enlightening spirit is priceless and beyond appreciated!!

Charles your presentation was an eye opener. I always put everybody before myself. I worry about everyone except myself. I always say God will protect me and take care of me. I think I'm here to help others and find myself needing help at the end. I rely on God for everything. God Bless you and thank you

This man is so powerful in his message about becoming the best version of you. He is a blessed man who leads by example in his conviction to this purpose. He inspires with empathy and hope for growth. So happy I attended this today and am so grateful for being able to listen to his passion for change and growth that reinvigorated me to pursue change. Thank you!

This was such an amazing talk!! Every point that was hit applied to some aspect of my life rather it was my work life or my home life. Charles was not afraid to say the things out loud that we think in our head then gave us options to step up and step out away from that!! I would highly recommend this to anyone that is needing find their way back to their "Best Self"!

Wow

Charles is a vibe that cant be denied! He had everyone engaged, inspired me, refueled my fire to be intentional and consistent everyday and show up for ME!

Charles is quite amazing. I thoroughly loved listening to his motivational speech. He helped open my eyes to a lot of things I need to change. I'm blessed enough to have a partner who will make sure I don't give too much of myself without giving to myself as well but there's so much of life that I will put Charles' words to use. Thank you Charles for who you are, for what you do and allowing us into your world to learn and grow.

Jeremiah 29:11 - Loved your RISE & THRIVE!! Session for AIRS! You taught me so much.... Response to stress!
I will start avoiding the snooze button - making it a new habit!!

I had the privilege of hearing Charles Cook Speak at the AIRS Virtual Conference. Charles has a way of presenting that is both engaging and inspirational. I liked how he told a personal story to explain his point. His ability to engage the audience and get them to think differently is a true gift. I am looking forward to hearing him again. "Procrastination is the assassination of your destination"

You are an inspirational speaker. I love your views and plan to find your podcast.

Excellent inspirational and motivational. God called you to speak to the hearts of others to lift and motivate those like me that sometimes feel lost or not able to find inspiration at times.

Great message - Self-worth over Net-Worth is my new mantra... Keep sharing brother, your gift is needed!

Very well presented and great for the reminders for actions. Reminder to look at other people and also remember to take care of self.

Best inspirational speaker, I've listened to in a long time.... maybe even ever! To have the personal experience of despair and to find purpose in that despair is truly inspirational!

I have been struggling for a while but did not realize that I kind of given up. I need to hear that it is ok to ask for help, to say NO and do self care. Between work, helping raise my grandkids, I had given up on me. It hit home that I need to believe in myself in order to be able to help others.

you gave an amazing session to hear, and you are a great inspiration to all !!

Throughout your speech, I experienced a variety of emotions and desire to just LIVE and THRIVE using the techniques you're coaching, forevermore! You're powerful, inspiration, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to spend time with you today! Thank you 1000x over!

I was intrigued from the very start. It felt like he was talking straight to me and with what I am currently going through. His experiences are relatable and truly inspiring. What I will continue to remember is to "not become stress" and to learn how to respond to it.

Charles is such and amazing, motivational speaker. He ended our 3 day conference with him and it was a great because it has inspired me to take what was learned over the past three days and use the tools to make the changes that I want to see in myself so I can rise and thrive in my work and home life!!

his presentation at the AIRS Online Conference was very inspirational and really opened up my mind and got me to think about things when it comes to taking care of me and showing up for me

Very motivational and intentional. Great job closing the conference.

The positive energy and attitude that Charles has was very inspiring for the end of an online conference! I would love to hear more!

THis is making me see situations in a different light

To breath.... Respond to Stress and not become Stress... Love this

This was what I needed to hear when I needed to hear it. I have been struggling between work and life balance and trying to decide what/how to handle things. I was at my breaking point--this helped me understand that--this is not healthy and I need to take action to change it. Change my mind to change my future. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this session!

This is a session I would recommend for anyone who needs some encouragement. This is so inspiring I would love to share with the youth group at church.

You gave an amazing and motivational speech. Your positive spirit and energy are impactful. I will continue to follow your work.

If you need staff to be inspired, remember their "why", and re-motivate, THIS IS THE PERSON for you! Thank you Charles for an amazing presentation at the end of 2022 AIRS spring conference!

It was inspiring to listen to you and I will be joining your podcast for sure. It has been grey and rainy here in Michigan and this was so uplifting and motivating to get me through the rest of the week. It was also eye opening for the lack of motivation that I have had in myself and that I need to get back to the motivation that I once had to helping people as much as I used to.

Thank you so much, Charles!

You had me crying during this presentation...good thing that I was working from home today :) You are awesome.

Thank you so much for your motivational talk today. It was very timely for me to hear and you made a huge difference for me in my life today. Thank YOU for sharing your story and what you've learned through your experiences. I took sooo many notes and will be applying to my life NOW. Thank you!!

No matter where you are at in your journey, any and everyone can benefit from the magic that is Charles Clark. I feel refreshed and renewed and ready to take control of my life!!!!!!!

It was amazing to hear that if you align your choice with your passion you can work through any adversity. Thank you for that.

I didn't expect to receive as much as I did from this webinar! You were the best part! My favorite takeaway was "Your legacy is formed by being intentional today". Today marks day 1! Thank you!

I thoroughly enjoyed your speaking engagement today with the AIRS conference. I appreciate your outlook on life & how we can enjoy it to its fullest. Thank you for sharing your energy!

This was an awesome session.

He gave us the information that was needed. He actually got you thinking about how to balance your life. This really did give me life!!! Thank you

A fantastic motivational speech that touches on what so many of us need: to RISE & THRIVE!

Thank you, sir. I needed this so much in my life today.... God sweetest to you and yours

Thanks for sharing this talk about living with intention and finding your big why. I loved the part where you share about that adversity time you had right before your T&F race and you were able to overcome this.

You're such a great motivational speaker! I really needed this today! Thank you so much! Keep being you and thanks so much for sharing with us today.

Charles spoke LIFE today during our AIRS Conference!!! He is truly anointed, and speaks LIFE into others. I was truly blessed by his words! THANK YOU!!

I am in a really low place right now. I needed the affirmation. Your positivity and words are life changing.

Truly phenomenal! Please continue to do this you have a gift!

Charles spoke at our conference today and it was the best keynote I've heard in a long time. He is engaging and uplifting and gives you practical suggestions.

SOO amazing, I really appreciated the presentation, I didn't know how much I needed it! :)

Mr. Clark was amazing! He inspired me so much and reminded me to live my best life.

WOW! The words what I needed to hear today. It was exactly what I wanted to know to get on my journal!

I needed to hear that it is okay to concentrate on me. Not just everyone around me. I know it is important but I always need to hear it again.

Lots of good tidbits to keep in mind to thrive

Great experience, lots of passion & motivation!

so powerful and motivating to change my procrastination!

Charles is very inspiring and really made me think of priorities.

I felt empowered, energized and important! Thanks Charles!

I'm going to put more energy into my friends. Immediately. thanks for the kick in the ass.

I am taking ownership TODAY!

From someone who has always had a negative outlook on herself, you have been amazing and life changing for me.

Thanks for you presentation, you are easy to listen to and fun to hear!

Charles was a outstanding motivational speaker. He captured a crowd of 100 highest performers in a fortune 500 company. Charles is a super human in which guides the guest to reach for their goals and promotes the will to do what ever it takes to succeedO with what your goal is.

Being an active participant in Charles Clark’s motivational talk for the seniors at Archbishop Edward A. McCarthy, I was truly moved. Not only did he speak about successful life habits and goals, but he also engaged the entire audience on a friendly and personal level. I have never seen the Class of 2022 be so enticed with someone’s story and I truly believe that the seniors will make a mark in this world. I had the opportunity of talking with Mr. Clark, and he is such an inspiring person. He has a heart of gold and you can see that he wants to make a mark on this world by truly helping others reach happiness while being proactive. I am extremely gratified for this experience and the opportunity to hear such an encouraging story. I truly recommend Charles Clark and support all of his endeavors!

Charles gave a dynamic, never missed a beat, presentation for our Health & Safety Conference.

Our group loved the energy & content Charles brought to our meeting as our keynote!

Very professional, personable and engaging!
All were inspired by the stories and how they related on a personal level.
We will invite him again.

Charles was flexible, hard working, professional and sociable. We were really motived and inspired by his experiences and life stories. We will invite him back!

Charles is awesome. I met with him prior to the event and discussed our needs and what my goals and objectives were for the event. He tailored his presentation to my goals, and he knocked it out of the park with my team! I highly recommend him, you won't be disappointed.

Charles kicked off the second day of our event and energized the group. The group continually referenced bits of Charles’ wisdom throughout the rest of the trip. His energy, passion, and words of wisdom really resonated with the group.

Charles worked collaboratively with me to provide my program members with a specific and customized presentation that supported their growth in overcoming adversity. His presentation was met with enthusiasm and my program members described their experience afterword as inspirational and pragmatic. We will definitely consider having Charles return to our campus to inspire our students again.

Charles Clark was engaging, motivating and informative. The students listened, asked questions and left with information relevant to their lives.

Charles hit home with his message that connected our employees from front-line caregivers to nurses to the corp team. He was very inspirational and upbeat. He made us all feel good and gave us tools to pick ourselves up and get going when times get tough. As a home care company and providing care for others can be stressful, Charles hit on key points to help deal with stress and be a better person. Thank you, Charles!

Feedback from team members:
"We needed this as a team and you could not have picked a better speaker. ❤️❤️❤️❤️"
"What a powerful message and incredible speaker – this was truly the best and such a timely message."

We want to thank Charles for an amazing hour of his time and attending our company's 25th anniversary in Miami, FL. All of our staff members were blown away by his positivity and motivation. We all took away some tips and pointers on how to better ourselves. Thank you again Charles for an amazing experience!

Charles motivated on the topics of accountability vitality and encouraged self to be your best and then one more level.

We had Charles speak at an end-of-year company-wide event in January, Covid messed up our plans of having him attend in person but he was able to deliver his message virtually. Even virtually, Charles' energy and message were inspiring and engaging. I highly recommend booking Charles. to speak at your next engagement. We had folks share how moved they were by his message, some of whom very rarely share openly, it was incredible to witness.

Keeping that statistic in mind we were grateful for the insight Charles gave our team about how to be more effective and deal with high levels of stress. Charles gave us simple tools, tips and tricks to use daily while showing us how we can raise our expectations and outperform our limited mind sets. He re-instilled the key principles of being kind, compassionate, respectful and honest to help create synergy in our work community. We needed this reset in perspective for our team offsite so that we could get out of our own way and into creating positive solutions....and it worked! Thank you, Charles!

Charles spoke to our company (about 25 people) about a variety of self-improvement techniques and provide clear recommendations. He's engaging, energetic and enthusiastic!

Helpful tools to Thrive! I will implement some of these starting today !

I don't think the word "awesome" is adequate to describe Charles Clark. Not only is his delivery spot on, but his authentic life story and inspiring words of wisdom set him apart from a typical motivational speaker. Charles is one of the most professional speakers I have ever dealt with in my years of event planning - his communication and regular checkins were invaluable as we planned this event together. He is not just a paid speaker, but a true partner in making your event successful. The audience raved about him, and walked away with helpful advice and inspiring stories. I highly recommend Charles Clark!

We booked Charles as a keynote speaker for our company conference and were extremely pleased with his session. Charles engaged with our attendees and delivered a motivational and inspirational message that everyone enjoyed. We would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a fulfilling and rewarding experience!

Charles Clark did a exceptional job sharing keys to success both in and outside of the classroom. Students found his presentation style engaging and appreciated him sharing his journey and the life lessons he learned along the way.

Charles provided the audience with infectious energy right from the get-go, really engaging with everyone and inspiring us to reflect on what we're doing in our lives and how we can improve. It was a powerful and necessary experience for many of us and I'm glad I took the time to participate. Wishing you all the best, Charles!

Overall, it was an AMAZING experience. I learned certain things that I didn't know about myself. Charles brought out some amazing quotes to live by and he was very interactive as well. He was fully engaged with the audience throughout the session and broughtout wonderful tactics on how consistency paves the way to us achieving our goals. I also want to point out something that he said that stuck to me. He said that "Champions aren't made in game day, they are made in day-to-day," which is something that will be imbedded in my mind for the longest time. I can proudly say that I am more motivated than ever in doing the day-to-day grind that I need to do to get to who I want to become in the future.

Charles provided a relaxing and welcoming environment for everyone to share their experiences while also giving inspirational methods of getting motivated in life. Great stuff!

Currently, I feel like I am at a crossroad in my university life. I feel defeated and my resolve was significantly weakened. Now it would be preposterous to say that all my problems were resolved by the talk, but I will say that I have found at least a faint direction to head towards now. Perhaps keeping it consistent and simple is just what I need for now. Rather than planning so far into the future about something that is subject to so many variables, some inconceivable even, I think I know at least just a little bit about what to do to keep my goals intact and life on track. Thank you very much!

Charles spoke at the virtual team meeting for our parent/son volunteer service organization and he was equally inspiring to the boys (middle-schoolers and high -schoolers) as he was to the parents! I understand how hard it can be to engage people on Zoom and he did a wonderful job. With all the negativity that has transpired over these past 2 years, his messages were a light in the midst of darkness. He was so inspirational and showed our boys how to be confident yet humble. Our biggest takeaways were to be happy where you're at, and that every day is an opportunity to be selfless, and most importantly: make ourselves second to put people first! As brothers and sisters in Christ, we can't hear these messages enough. Charles, thank you for delivering your positive message with so much energy and enthusiasm! (And a special shout-out to you from a fellow Virginian!)

Charles Clark's talk about adversity reminded something I did in school last year. I remember having to write an essay in English on adversity. My class could use various sources such as stories, famous people, and even our own personal experiences. I ended up going into how perseverance is important in adversity and how it changes people in my essay. During the meeting, Charles talked about how adversity is an opportunity to make yourself better. He continues saying that you just have to keep motivating yourself every time so that eventually your daily actions become a part of your life and have changed you for the better. This viewpoint made me realize that I missed an important part in the English unit. While adversity often comes with difficulties and challenges, they are what help us grow and develop as a person.

Your words and actions were very impactful to all of us, Charles. Thank you!

This experience inspired me to never give up, and follow through. Your story inspired me to keep going even with setbacks, and that with enough determination you can keep moving no matter what. This was a great experience!

Charles is so engaging and also grounded. Great real-life practical perspective and advice. His experience is something that a lot of people can relate to in one way or another. By sharing how he has overcome adversity and changed his perspective and focus is motivating for anyone!

Charles Clark was a great presenter and he really helped me feel better about recovery from a bad injury, and having the right mindset.

Appreciated the interaction! Solicited and encouraged feedback so that it felt more like a conversation rather than a speech. Friendly and insightful. Thank you!!!

I thought he was very motivational and he inspired me to be the best possible version of myself. He taught everyone that you should always work your hardest in order to achieve your goals. He also taught me that most success has to do with mindset.

I really liked this speech because of how well you spoke and the motivation behind it. I especially loved it where you talked about adversity which really meant a lot to me through personal experience. Thanks, Theo.

Thanks for reminding us of the important reminder. And it starts with one word, DECIDE

Charles did a great job presenting at our Staff Training Day. His upbeat presentation style coupled with his optimistic message focused on thriving in difficult times left the entire staff with smiles on their faces and feeling good about the work they do every day. We had a great experience and I recommend him highly to any group/organization seeking a motivational speaker.

We hired Charles Clark for an engaging virtual event for our Credit Institute Chapter members - Credit Professionals at all stages of their careers and heading back to the office in the next few months. Charles' talk on overcoming adversity and believing in ourselves made everyone's night, the overall feedback was excellent! We left that Zoom call feeling fully ready to Rise and Thrive! Thank you Charles!

Charles Clark appealed well to our students because his message was clear, his delivery was energetic, and his presentation was both relatable and authentic. A good balance of personal reflections/stories with thoughtful affirmations and recommendations. The message "Rise and Thrive" would be good at any time, but it seemed particularly poignant given current global concerns, framing challenges as building blocks toward a brighter future instead of stumbling blocks that trip and defeat us.

Charles I was an attendee at your session tonight , through the Credit Institute of Canada, Hamilton Chapter. I was impressed! Your journey from where you were to where you are today was moving. You were meant to do what you are doing I am sure of that. You gave us all things to really think about. What is our legacy, what do we want to be known for? I was restructured out of a senior position I had at a company for 32 years. I grew up there, literally. I did not know what my existence meant without that company and job title. 3 years later and I use that experience to make me a better mentor to others, and ensure that I have a work life balance that suits me . I am more aware of what my needs are and realize that to take care of those needs does not make me selfish, it makes me a better person. Loved the whole time we spent with you tonight. Keep up the great work, you are making a difference in peoples' lives.

I have never experienced such a meaningful presentation that actually resonated with me in a way that I could never put into words. After surviving severe domestic violence, I stopped believing in myself and questioned my self-worth. Your presentation tonight was of paramount importance in teaching me who I need to be and I only need to be ME. Accept the challenges I went through, but keep myself moving in a positive way.
Thank you Charles for devoting your time to share such an inspirational story that surely impacts thousands out there.

Charles uses real life anecdotes to express his thoughts. I was motivated and excited to move forward in my journey of helping others to live healthy and fulfilling lives. He is an excellent speaker and motivator and hopefully we will be able to convince him to speak at one of our team retreats.

Charles is a very well spoken person. He made me think outside the box and shift some mindsets.
His positive attitude is contagious. I took away quite a few lessons and some great quotes that I will be using and sharing with my kids. Thank you!

Charles was the best speaker we ever had. He gave us great advice as a start up company. Strongly recommend.

This guy really changed my life

He comes across as friendly and helped me view University as a more positive experience.

Charles talked to us during the Ryerson Academic Orientation. He is an amazing person with a passion for inspiring others. He talks with tremendous enthusiasm and loves to engage with the audience. His stories were very interesting and he gave great advice in the Q&A. Truly a positive person to be around. He would be an awesome friend!

I had a great time listening to Charles give his speech today. I felt much more motivated and prepared to give my all in university this year. Something that stuck out the most to me was when he mentioned learning to be comfortable in the uncomfortable. I think this is a very important skill to gain, because as students in our first year we will face a lot of new challenges and be put in uncomfortable situations. However, if we are comfortable with the uncomfortable we can use this to our advantage and it will help us excel. This is something I will keep in mind and work towards this year. His tips regarding putting together a routine we’re also very helpful and it will also be something I try to implement in my daily life. Overall, the speech was very uplifting and I found Charles’ personal stories very inspiring. Thank you for helping us kick off our first semester in university with positive and motivational vibes!

Your speech today really touched me and inspired me to do my best to overcome my stresses and enjoy the journey. Thanks a lot.

it felt like the universe was conversing with me. there were so many things that Charles said that gave me goosebumps because it was like the universe reassuring me that I'm on the right path. I believe in fate, I believe that nothing is a coincidence, I know everything happens for reason. I know what I heard I heard for a reason, and I know that reason. Thank you Charles for saying what u said, it left an impact and was a sign from the universe for me. Thank you for doing such an amazing job!

Charles Clark is a man of culture. He speaks with an open-minded POV, to go along with his confidence, passion, and desire to make sure his point gets across. He makes sure the audience is engaged and feels a difference with the energy he brings when speaking. He really executed his presentation spontaneously, and I feel 10x better heading into my first year at university with a positive attitude!

Charles was a very nice spark of energy during our orientation meeting. He did a great job in motivating us and exciting me as I enter my first year of university. He taught us how to better manage our time and how to push ourselves to success. He definitely gained a bunch of fans from his presentation.

I am just so motivated and ready to start my new journey. I took notes during the event and I am super motivated to be the best and reach my goals.

Charles was an excellent speaker, who engaged the audience through his energy and genuine passion for the topic. Through the use of personal anecdotes, sound logic, and self reflection, he showed the audience how to manifest their motivations and overpower damaging mindsets such as procrastination. The way in which he spoke was very captivating and almost lyrical at times. I left the speech feeling invigorated, and ready to thrive in my new university as a student.

Charles Clark inspired me and so many students to thrive and put our best foot forward. As a student stepping into a university environment his speech and story really inspired me. I believe that every one can learn from such an inspiring figure!

I felt motivation radiating off of him while he spoke of his thriving journey. The examples he used to break down different aspects of his life were perfect for viewers to understand what he went through. His tone, expression, and personality shined through in this event, pumping me up with a lot of motivation. I feel like I can thrive in whatever I do in the future with the knowledge I gained in this event, and I hope all future viewers feel the same!

Loved how he shared his own life story including the struggles he went through and how he overcame it. I also related a lot with him as I used to do karate competitively, but due to covid, I couldn't do classes or tournaments and lost motivations to practice. After hearing about the legacy mindset, I am thinking of training by myself and get back into the karate scene. Thank you for the extremely motivational speech you gave to all of us first year ryerson students.

The speech was filled with inspiration from great leaders, strategies to get through life, and tips on how to create efficient habits in order to be happy with the success we create in life. The questions asked were answered honestly and resonated with my own thoughts. I can definitely say after today, I am much more confident in entering the new chapter of my life going into University!

When you told us think that there is really no end for success. Now as I think it is true, not giving up is a one step closer to success. Before I thought of trying for medical school once and give up if I don't get in, but after your speech I think I will take all the chances and try harder until I reach it.

Charles has the amazing ability to easily motivate others through the extremely powerful words. This speech has definitely motivated me to do so much better in life and gave me a different view of life. I am sure everyone is truly moved by your speech and is looking forward to hearing you again.

I have always had this mindset to be disciplined, motivated, make my habits create who I am in my day-to-day life, and I was beginning to lose some motivation but you have helped me regain my confidence. I can speak for almost everyone in that stream that when you said to find that thing that gets you up in the morning and pushes you towards your goals, it made them more confident and willing to push harder. Thank you for the speech Charles, you're a true inspiration!

Thank you for the fascinating speak today at Ryerson Academic Orientation. What a motivational presentation! Your attitude, the stories, and those short pauses have made the speak even more memorable. Totally love it!

I think I found this to be quite a pleasing, interesting, and surprisingly motivational session. Not only did I learn different methods of how to be more successful, but I also felt like I was actually being valued as a person. The advice Mr. Clark gave us is life-changing. Even though I almost slept halfway through (due to waking up early), when I woke up I felt like I didn't miss anything. I will try my best to stick to what I learned today, and keep up the good work.

I found your speech to be quite inspiring as well as informative about how to react and handle the unexpected twists and turns that are so often found in life.

Mr. Clark's empowering speech about thriving and creating a legacy has motivated me to look at life in a different and more positive way. Moreover, he was very well prepared today and he was very enthusiastic.
Thanks for taking the time out of your day to talk to us

I really enjoyed the explanation of the creation of motivation from discipline because it allows me to push myself for going to go and do what makes me the person I am

You're talk was so amazing it was a big booster for me. I had a procrastinating problem but from today onwards I'm not going to procrastinate and I'm going to do all I can to achieve my goals and become the person I want 5 years from now. All in all your speech was wonderful and sooo motivating Thank you so much.

After listening to the speech it really got me confident and motivated to really chase after my goals, not to procrastinate. If you want to be confident you got to thrive and get out of your comfort zone. Do something you never done before. Be the best person you can be each day.

This man is a great savior! I resonated a lot with Charles and the experiences he provided within his speech. I've experienced a lot of adversity growing up, but I've been able to overcome that through hard work and a lot of discipline and motivation. I remember when I felt as if I was going to become a failure in high school, I thought I wouldn't make it through to university, but I figured out that it was my mindest that was the problem, I had to figure myself out and change my mindset to one of self-confidence and determination to make my dream of becoming an engineer come to fruition.

Charles Clark is one hell of a motivational speaker and I'd love to hear more of what he has to say.

Honestly, I was very scared to start University because its environment that I have never experienced before and from your amazing and fantastic speech; I was able to "relax and enjoy the ride", just like your friend told you during the roller coaster. Thank you for the motivation and the push that will definitely help me during my years of university. You for sure changed my feelings on starting University.

Thank you so much

He is wonderful

I learned a lot of new things that I did not know before. Lastly, the motivation was great helped me get ready for the first year. I AM READY!!

Thank you for your time!! :)

An incredible way to start off the school year. Gave us life lessons that will help us in the long run. Recommend heavily.

Had Charles for orientation at Ryerson, loved the whole experience. He really connected with his audience even through the screen. Hope to hear another motivational speech from him in the future.

I had an amazing time listening to Charles about his experiences in life and his positive outlook! Very inspiring talk that I will keep in my mind for the future!

Charles was a guest speaker for my university orientation and he spoke beautifully. Nothing he said sounded fake and constantly kept me engaged. Great guy, great speaker, and great motivator.

Charles is motivational and inspiring from the minute he began talking to us, really got me motivated to do and try my best this upcoming school year regardless of the situation we’re in being online instead of in person. Make the tough decisions and persevere.

You did a phenomenal job speaking to all the first year engineering students today. So much of what you spoke about many people needed to hear whether it be about perseverance, thriving, or being legacy minded, your motivational words resonated with the student body and provided a truly wonderful experience for us all.

I was very stressed to go into university but you made me feel like it is going to be fun. Your speach was beautiful and made me feel like i could take overe the world (in a good way haha).

The messages sent by Charles about, deciding, thriving and discipline were exactly what I needed to here it helped me create a routine to stick to and push myself beyond the limit. His words gave me the push needed to soar forward and start a path of self improvement and conquest.

Mr. Clark gave a wonderful speech on adversity and how to overcome them, thrive, and become a better person. He gave advice on how to thrive in school and not to let adversity get you down.

This is was on the best motivational speaker expericence that i have ever seen. This event with Ryerson University you did was great and helped me see in a different light how motivation can turn into discipline. Thank you so much for this experience.

Inspiring words and motivation speeches, got me excited for University.

You covered in much details about what many students feel or go through, they decide not to confront their own issues which could be influenced by different factors. Your speech covered many aspects that they may be going through. Thank you.

When you brought your energy from the beginning I felt like why not me, why can't I be great and just your words were enough to remind me to push for something bigger

Charles Clark is a standup, no bullshit type of guy. From his short talk I learned a lot regarding strategies to keep myself disciplined and motivated for the upcoming school year. THANK YOU CHARLES.

Motivational & bright tone
Relatable topics
Positive and upbringing attitude
Overall a good time

Amazing motivation before start of university. We really need this btw times💪🏻

I loved your speech and it was very motivational. As a student, I was stressed about starting first year and after hearing your speech, I am more comfortable.

I love that he was realistic with the students and gave it as it is. Discipline is a core factor of success and that you need it with motivation to success in life. Clear and concise . Thanks

I was greatly motivated by your speech! I loved the reference to Spiderman:Homecoming. I loved that quote from Iron Man as well. Thanks for all the help!

Charles has successfully motivated me in making sure to not procrastinate anymore. Everyday I would wake up and just give up but after hear what he had to say, I DECIDED to change that!

Able to get a body of jokers and procrastinators to listen to what he's got to say. Has knowledge to back it up.

You have that ability to connect with the audience. Real good stuffs man, I got a lot out of your speech. Keep it up.

Very fascinating and motivational talk for first-year university students like me. Thank you a lot for your motivation speaking!

Mr. Clark was an amazing speaker and truly helped me understand the importance of rising and thriving in order to overcome adversity and thrive (not survive)!

Your speech made me feel great. It was so motivational and I hope you know your words just changed my perspective and my life. Thank you so much - Noah P.

He talked very well about how when you only think of success you miss the joys of the journey. This has put a whole new perspective on how I will go through university.

This is all super scary. It never won't be to me. In all honesty what you said didn't help this specific situation. However, what you did say applies to so much more than university and that value can't be expressed in numbers.

He brought in an interesting perspective of looking at challenges in life. Great story teller too. Thank you Charles!

Charles the goat.

he is a very good speaker that really motivated everyone in the faculty. Thanks

This guy is the real deal. Solid speech and answers to questions. A real class act. Keep doing what your doing it was great!

He talked a lot about the link between discipline and self motivation. I hope to keep this in mind through my school years.

woooow Charles it was wonderful talk :)

Amazing motivation and stayed fluent throughout the speech.

very inspirational

Cheered me up

Charles Clark gave everyone in the chat an idea of how we can deal with stress and it helps us learn how to thrive.

Great advice to rise and thrive and how to have a goal to accomplish and a legacy to follow.

Absolutely motivational. Helped me shape my perspective and feel a lot more secure about university. I now know that if I keep the right mindset I can achieve anything.

Amazing motivation and stayed fluent throughout the speech.

A great speaker with amazong takeaways

You motived me fam

I thoroughly enjoyed

We had Charles speak at our leadership offsite and albeit virtual, his talk was impactful and we each took away something positive from the discussion. Charles is a great speaker and brings a high level of energy -- his perspective on "thriving through adversity" is very relevant to the challenges we all face in business. I highly recommend him, you won't be disappointed.

It was an amazing experience to work with Charles!

He was invited to deliver a virtual, Welcome keynote speech to incoming students on resiliency . Charles message resonated deeply with students as evidenced by the level of engagement in the chat. In addition to an amazing talk, Charles dedicated time prior to the event to update on his key talking points and being open to feedback as well as being present at all practice sessions.

I would highly recommend Charles for your speaking engagements!

Starting university comes with nervousness, fear and anxiety. This motivational session was very much needed to shake off the fear and set some goals. I was really able to connect with Charles and his words. Stepping into the fear is the first step to becoming fearless. I hope to apply his strategy of not becoming stress when under stress. One thing I learned from Charles journey is that Choosing how to respond to stressful situation is in our hands.

Speaking as someone who doesn't particularly connect with motivational speeches, I wasn't expecting much when Charles Clark came up. But the way in which he spoke and presented ways to overcome challenges really resonated with me. You can tell he's been in the same place as you, and speaks from experience. I started off the speech by being uninterested but ended it with a bunch of sticky notes with advice and affirmations! The same day as the motivational speech, I did two things out of my comfort zone from being inspired, it felt nice. Keep it up!

Charles Clark delivered a motivational speech to myself and fellow students at the University of Toronto, Mississauga. His perspective was very insightful as he provided integral advice regarding combatting fear, creating routines and challenging oneself. His delivery was articulate, enthusiastic and confident. Charles was amazing at engaging with us students and creating a participatory environment. Overall, an incredible experience listening to him speak!

Even though it was early morning, Charles came up with such enthusiasm that it already put me in a more active gotta-get things done attitude. As an anxious university student who has problems taking initiative and procrastinates a lot, Charles' life experience and words really lit that fire inside me. Wish the keynote was a bit longer though, because that was the only downside!

Charles Clark is an inspirational speaker towards all people around the world. Charles has presented that adversity, gratitude, routines, achieving, thriving, fear, compassion, relentless and confidence has helped make individuals successful to work hard, have self-confidence and care and enjoy life as you accomplish your goals including your university years. He has connected real life experiences and his self experiences on how to overcome these challenges and fears people may be going through. For instance, explaining he how he kept getting ill before going to a run. He later got used to it and started to realize he keeps going to his fear and that he can achieve this. This shows other people can overcome their fears by going rapidly. He explained the importance of what stress and fear really is and how they are the key of individuals including him to be successful and enjoy. His motivational speech will also help his teammates achieve great success and live out the moment because our minds create our thoughts and thoughts become our actions. He beneficially mentioned how we have to keep making actions happened so we can accomplish them. He also motivated everyone to be stronger when it comes to struggle we will face and he convinced us these struggles are telling us we will be achieving great things coming up.

Charles, out of all the speakers that I have listened, you are one of the most engaging and encouraging speaker that I know. Your upbeat tone and your life experiences has helped make a change for myself 1 step at a time but your quote "Nothing changes if you don't change" made me realized that I must take action for myself to achieve my goals. Thanks to your speech, I can see my years in university to be enjoyable rather than stressed.

It was a wonderful experience having Charles talk to us about how to get out of our comfort zone and find the balance between school life and happiness by using real life examples to tailor to our personal experiences. Charles' wisdom and background played a big part in helping us understand how to get through rough times, his quote "Nothing changes unless you change" has stuck with me because in order to "change" or create a new habit you need to believe in yourself and change your own ways, this for sure will stick with me during my 4 years of university and help me realize that University is not supposed to be stressful but also a life time experience where you meet new people, open your mind to new beliefs and ideas.

I had a fantastic experience listening to this motivational talk. His passion was enlivening and engaging, and I thoroughly enjoyed hearing his guidance regarding resilience and self-confidence. Charles' discussion on the use of adversity to strengthen oneself and overcome obstacles was particularly riveting as it greatly contributed to my stoic philosophy. My only wish was that the presentation was longer. I would certainly like to hear him speak again!

Really insightful and motivational. Speaker had a lot to say, and provided good advice. I also liked how he brought up studies to support his claims.

I have never been more interested and actually paid attention to a motivation speaker speak and not doze off. I honestly love this live and gave me a perspective to look at. I had been feeling stuck lately but after Charles talked about gratitude I figured I didn't have gratitude for my self and where I am today. Charles is a guy that helps you realize. !!!!!!

I LOVED Charles’ talk. I’m really nervous about going to UTM and experiencing college life for the first time. Charles made me feel more confident about my own abilities, ad the experiences that I am going to encounter at UTM. His talk taught me how to deal with stress, but not becoming stress, but responding to the stress. I will definitely take all of Charles advice with me to University and will keep his positive taught’s with me !!

Charles gave a very motivational speech filled with life experience's and answers to tough questions.

I listened to Charles' presentation with my University orientation, and it was extremely helpful in beginning my journey at University of Toronto. I especially enjoyed learning strategies for being less nervous, as it is something I struggle with. His segment on how morning and night routines also interested me as I learned how to start my day.

Very inspiring, all about THRIVING. Very motivating and reassuring and gave great advice about how to approach the change from high school to university.

Our staff members have never been so complimentary of a keynote speaker in all the time I've been in education. Charles was a huge hit and I recommend any school who's wanting to get their teachers ready for back to school or ready to put in their greatest effort and overcome challenges to get Charles Clark to come. He is the one!

Charles' spoke to our entire Marketing group during a time where many of us had been feeling down, exhausted by covid, uncertain about the future. His talk was energizing and filled with incredibly meaningful stories and takeaways for all of us. He was leaned in, and was skilled at engaging our group over zoom - which is hard! I"d highly recommend hiring Charles!

Charles was super engaging (especially for a virtual zoom setting). He had some great takeaways that can be applied directly to our line of thinking for both personal and professional settings. Would highly recommend him for other teams looking for a great speaker to inspire your team.

It's challenging keeping audiences engaged via Zoom, and Charles did a great job keeping the energy up and inspiring the team.

It's not always easy to engage with a large group in a virtual setting, but Charles did a fantastic job at connecting with the group! He was very easy to listen and relate to, and connected certain aspects of his talk to what some of us may be experiencing within our department right now. One of my favourite lines: You come in looking like your dad, you go out looking like your decisions!
I would highly recommend Charles for any event if you're looking for someone to motivate your entire team! Thanks Charles!

Charles was fantastic. Rather than focusing on platitudes he turned his experiences into actionable advice. He distilled his ideas into something people can take home and build habits and lifestyles around.

Great talk.

Charles Clark is an informative and inspirational speaker. He really knew how to stir up engagement with a larger group.

Looking for some drive? Charles has an incredible personal message and is able to make it resonate with you, no matter how different your situation is. Perfect for anyone looking for that extra push.

We recently had Charles Clark speak at a private event graduation party. I was initially interested because of his background as an athlete, as I thought that would resonate with the high school graduates, many of whom were athletes themselves, that would be attending our event. After speaking with him, and hearing more about his background and his message about how adversity can propel you forward toward your goals, I was sure this was the speaker we wanted. Because of the pandemic, high school students, as well as all of us missed out on certain things and I felt like having a special celebration that included a motivational speaker would be so nice for them. Of course, all of the adults that were present in our group of about 24 total also benefitted from the message and I know will be talking about it and reflecting on it for years to come. For our personal situation of having several close family members pass away within the last few years, the message about overcoming adversity was very significant and meaningful. He talked about the importance of goals and going above and beyond to set yourself apart which was important for those beginning their college journey. My son said that all his friends really enjoyed hearing the talk, which was kept a surprise for all the guests. Several adults were so impressed, they are interested in having Charles speak to their groups sometime in the future. Charles was so warm and connected with everyone. I would not hesitate to book him. Additionally, he kept in touch with me leading up to our event and obtained some information to help make his message more personalized which I also greatly appreciated.

Charles Clark is an incredible motivation speaker and truly empowers you to want to Rise & Thrive. We had Charles join our team event with over 350 participants across the globe- his energy was off the charts, his was able to engage and get the team interacting with him remotely. The team left wanting to find their reason for showing up every day! I highly recommend Charles for any event for any industry- if you are looking to motivate a team he's your person!

Charles was nothing short of amazing. He spoke to 120 football players at the 2021 Oregon All State Games and was able to connect with every single one.
Charles upbeat attitude, dedication to his craft and his storytelling ability allowed him to connect with these young high school athletes.
Charles talk changed the whole mood of the event, players were more upbeat, they were more positive and the coaches could not stop talking about his inspirational story.
He is truly legacy minded and was able to connect to everyone involved on a personal level. It seemed as if each athlete took a different part of Charles talk to heart and was impacted.
We are so glad we booked Charles for our event and are already talking to him about coming back for other events. Thank you Charles!

Charles spoke to our company today, in two different sessions, both of which I attended, and I was equally motivated and inspired both times! In times like these it's always important to reflect, and Charles provided me the opportunity to not only reflect, but gave me motivation and inspiration to continue! Thank you Charles for sharing your story, your thoughts, and your wonderful words!

A genuinely passionate human being. You can tell he practices what he preaches.

Charles Clark, I feel blessed you spoke to the team today. I needed to hear these words, your words, to deliver me to define my destiny. I too have been repeating downloads of avoiding self care. In the last week I made that change and it was tested yesterday. Even though it changed my world, flipping it completely upside down, I am in a different place, more mindful of my conscious breathe. Your message today reinforced to me that I am on the right path. I am not the same as before. So thank you again for being there for us, but also speaking directly to my heart right when I needed it. Cheers!

You killed this! I absolutely loved your energy, vibe & transparency. Though you were great as an athlete you may have found you true self in motivational speaking. Not only are you speaking based on experience of others in books read, you are speaking from lived and learned experiences. Continue to use this to shape yourself and others you may come in contact with! Continue to be true to yourself and allow your experiences to help others- continue to be true to the people whose lives you speak into- because as you say, Words are important and hold great power.

Awesome job man!

Charles was very engaging, especially for a remote speaker! He encouraged us to thrive in adversity and gave specific suggestions to apply in our daily life to live more purposefully, including instilling small habits and the power of positive thinking. I loved his statement that we are in this for WE, not ME! Nothing but awesome energy!

After we listened to Charles, he made me want to re-shift my focus and be more positive about the way I approach situations! A must-have to any work or team-building activity!

Charles is a great speaker - he will inspire you to live a better and purposeful life. A true class act.

Thank you Charles for showing up at our Assent event today. You really inspired me to look at myself in the mirror and start living. I wish you nothing but the best in the future. Thank you!

I don't have super high expectations when it comes to 'motivational speakers' but wow, you have changed my mind. Thanks so much for speaking with us today, it was a real eye opener :)
Looking forward to the podcast!

I appreciated so much how Charles was very “real” and used real world events and experiences to relate to every single person. Thank you for taking your time for us at Assent and I look forward to the exceptional things you will continue to do!

Had the best time listening to Charles speak on Rising and Thriving above adversaries.

So many motivational speaker will often tell you to set Goals and what truly stands out with Charles; was creating a lifestyle which is created with mindset

This was a great reminder on tools to use to excel at times when most people are vulnerable, scared or feel hopeless. This is when we become the best version of ourselves a dig deep inside to gain strength and peace for self and others during adversity. I know personally this is when I lock in and get focused. My faith in God is my ultimate source which gives me inner strength and Peace through all adversity.

I really enjoyed the encouraging words and it going to help me with my job and my Ministry. First as a worker for the City of Austin it helps to change my routine and it might help me to change my outlook on my job.

My Ministry I am a Pastor of a church and this will help me to encourage my Deacons, Ministers and others to change their routine on how they approach the Lord.

So thank you for your words today.

I truly enjoyed your presentation, you were a great motivational speaker. It felt like you knew what I was feeling and how I start my day. I wake up thanking God that I woke up and my goal is to be positive with everyone and see the good in them. Thank you again.

Charles, very inspirational! Many ideas I've heard before but YOU presented them simply and to the point which I definitely appreciated. Good examples given. Very personable. Will definitely recommend you as a speaker to meeting planners.

It was great hearing from Charles and taking his advise on how to thrive.

Charles was phenomenal! He really emphasized what it takes to breakthrough and overcome obstacles instead of letting them define you. The feedback we received from our participants for his talk was excellent. Thank you so much Charles!

We had the pleasure of partnering with Charles for a student appreciation event, and it was so awesome. He brought a level of energy that was much needed for youth audience as well as a professional staff. His ability to engage the audience in critical thoughts on self reflection helped us to bring our true selves to the conversation even in a virtual format. Charles‘s story of how he thrived amidst adversity was inspirational to a lot of our students who are going through challenges working online but also everything related to Covid. His professionalism and the quality of his virtual keynote was awesome, it was crisp it was clean and it was clear. We look forward to definitely connecting with Charles again for future events.

I honestly enjoyed the session so much! Charles really uplifted my mood this morning which i really need during final seasons. With exam season being super exhausting to me this morning's session really reassured my feelings and reminded me that my health comes first before anything and everything. Thank you so much for your speech!

It was quite a challenging day for me today and I've got a lot of huge life decisions to make int he next few days but hearing Charles speak, made me realize how important it is to prioritize myself and make sure the goals I'm working towards are centered around my happiness. His story of transitioning from a world class athlete to international speaker was very inspirational and emphasized how we can grow from adversities and overcome obstacles to make our future even more successful. Overall a very engaging and insightful talk!

Charles did a great job motivating everyone on the CSE team! I especially enjoyed that he made the session interactive, which is a challenge with the online platforms.

Attended this event not expecting much, but he was such an amazing speaker and he truly energized thE whole (virtual) room! I personally felt extremely motivated and inspired to tackle the adversities I’ve been avoiding and took a hard look at my life and what I want to accomplish in the future. Truly an amazing experience!

Our Young Men's Service League conducts monthly meetings for high school boys with a 4 year commitment to the program. This is my third year of listening to monthly meetings and it has been one of my favorites! Energizing and engaging a group of teenage boys through a screen after a year of zoom school is an impossible task and Charles DID IT. The boys spoke on their fears and they spoke on their excitement in the chat. I've added screenshots. Even more than the wisdom he shared, his genuinely infectious positive (and not cheesy or canned) attitude towards life is a real gift and I'm glad we got to experience it. He told the group, "There is a space for you at the table," and it occurred to me that this is a unique and really important message young men entering the world need to hear more often.

Both secondary students and staff appreciated Charles' positive energy and inspirational messages especially as our area has been in lockdown for weeks and everyone is really feeling this quarantine. Questions from students were dealt with sensitivity and care, so more and more students started asking questions! It was great seeing so many teens participating. We'd have Charles back to our school in a heartbeat!

Charles did an outstanding job and really drew in his audience. I was very impressed and I'm excited to start implementing a lot of it into my every day life!

Charles is very personable, energetic and delivers his message well. I would recommend attending another event to friends and collogues. Also look forward to joining another!

What an amazing hour with Charles. His optimism and sincerity were contagious and he really helped put things into perspective during this crazy time. Thanks Charles!
