As one of the few female Managing Directors in aviation—and one of the youngest—Charlie knows firsthand what it takes to navigate change, lead with confidence, and push past fear and self-doubt. She doesn’t just teach sales, marketing, and leadership strategies—she helps audiences rethink how they approach challenges, break free from limiting beliefs, and build confidence through action.
From making award-winning olive oil in Sardinia to leading multi-million-pound businesses, Charlie’s journey proves that success isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about courage in motion. Her talks inspire business leaders, entrepreneurs, and teams to stop overthinking, start acting, and build unstoppable progress.
