WHAT IS BEING SAID...

"Being a student athlete comes with its many struggles and challenges. I often found myself struggling on how to deal with them. When I went to Charlie Smiths event I was not prepared for what I was about to hear. The value of what he spoke and what he taught me was remarkable. I was taken back because what he was saying was what I had been needing to hear for years. I learned so much on how to deal with what was going on inside my head, how that affected my everyday life and ways to change it. It was so real and so powerful. It was truly inspirational and had a lasting impact on me as well as my teammates. We immediately asked for another session with him! His presentation and delivery was one that I will not forget!"

"When Charlie came to talk to our athletic department I loved the energy he brought to his presentation. People always underestimate the mental aspect of sports and more importantly life. Hearing him speak on the mental aspect allowed me rethink how I do some things in my life. I loved his talk and won’t forget some of the wise things he said for a long time."

"Charlie's speech and presentation had a great impact on my perspective. He made me understand the importance of mental health and mental strength in sports. He made me realize that self-talk and visualization are essential to mentally prepare for a practice, a game, or any type of event. Charlie made me work on my self-confidence and showed me that training my mind will help me in the future. He is the perfect example of how we need to be grateful for what we have in life and not take anything for granted. “My Life, My Pen” is not only a great quote but also a great metaphor on how one can control their own decisions rather than being persuaded by others’ opinions."

"I just wanted to tell you how much your talk yesterday helped me and really gave me a whole new perspective on my life and what I need to do to make myself a happier person and better athlete. I’ve been struggling a lot lately with school, lacrosse and life. I never thought much about mental health. I just always thought that my physical health would take me places. God put me in that room yesterday. Today was a great day thanks to you."

"You always deliver powerful messages really well. Cannot explain my gratitude enough. It’s hard to get important life lessons at my age but you and our administration make that possible and convenient. Keep doing what you do you do it well!"

"Personally, I loved Charlie’s speech and everything he shared with the athletes at Fairfield University. He story was truly empowering and continues to motivate me to be my best self each and every day. I’ve never taken so much back with me when it comes to listening to a speaker and I am so glad he was able to share his story with all. of us."

"Charlie’s speech was so empowering for me, realizing that I am in control of my life and I write my own story. I learned to turn the negativity in my life into positive thinking. What you are given in life isn’t your destiny, it is what you want it to be."

Charlie Smith’s approach to a positive, productive mind and methodology for overcoming negative thinking is a real asset for all.

Charlies powerful and inspiring Keynote will empower you to take control of your life’s story. You will learn to own the pen to the story of your life and take control of what you write to create the life you deserve.

WHY CHARLIE

Charlies’ development of a resilient mindset and understanding of the power of Optimism is not based on a theoretical white paper or born out of hypothetical research and theory. These beliefs are directly related to his survival. Having survived a violent childhood and overcoming a battle with substance abuse Charlie applied these mental conditioning skills that literally save his own life. His sole mission now is to deliver his lessons to empower people in being fulfilled in every aspect of your life.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

All I can say is WOW. I am so glad our organization brought in Charlie Smith for optimism training. He will shift your perspective on optimism, address obstacles to cultivating optimism and ultimately help you get out of your own way. Charlie doesn’t just present, he engages. He doesn’t just speak, he inspires. Many presenters just click through slides, but not Charlie, he actually talks to your group and uses real life examples which help drive home his points even further. If you are thinking about having Charlie train your team, just do it! I can confidently say that our team benefited immensely from his training and are actively implementing what we learned.

Charlie Smith’s approach to a positive, productive mind and methodology for overcoming negative thinking is a real asset for all. His program had a tremendous effect on not only my approach but also for my staff. The response from our attendees demonstrated the importance of providing these tools. I look forward to using reminders from the program in our team meetings. Thank you, Charlie!

We recently had Charlie Smith join one of our Leadership Team meetings to discuss “The Art of Being an Optimistic Leader during the Covid Chaos”. From beginning to end, Charlie had a very strong impact on the team. He started by letting us in on his own journey, the impact mindset has had on his life and, in the end, how he believes optimism is not just a state of mind but a strategic advantage. It was incredibly powerful. The bottom line is that Charlie has an amazing story and shares it in a way that is very human and relatable. It is a great way to connect with the team during this virtual era and deliver a message of optimism.

That was amazing. My roommates are currently screaming “who’s got my back?” “Best speech I’ve ever heard” seems to be the common theme from my other friends as well!
