Tampa Motivational Speaker
book charleS
An uplifting message for people ready to build resilience and discover practical strategies to thrive again.
WATCH REEL
I was once one of the fastest men in the world. But a career-ending injury forced me to rebuild everything— my body, my mind, and my purpose. That journey shaped a message that has now helped over 600,000 people build resilience and start thriving. Event planners don’t hire me just to motivate. They bring me in because I make people feel something and then give them the tools to do something about it.
For the past 12 years, I’ve worked with top-performing teams, Fortune 500 companies, and national conferences to unlock the mindset that delivers results. My keynotes are backed by science, built for real life pressure, and designed to meet the moment. Audiences leave uplifted with practical strategies they can apply immediately to reset, take bold action, and lead with confidence. Let’s create something epic for your next event.

CHOOSE TO THRIVE
From the exhilarating highs of being recognized as one of the fastest men in the world, US Silver Medalist, 10x All-American, 3x NCAA National Champion and standing on the precipice of athletic greatness, to the heart-wrenching lows of a career-ending injury, Charles’ story is a testament to the human spirit's unconquerable will. It's a message not just about loss, but about the pivotal moments of choice that redefine our paths and propel us toward fulfilling our destinies.
Audiences of all ages and backgrounds will discover that regardless of your season—be it personal, within their companies, or the collective challenges of our times—they are merely a choice away from thriving. Charles will illuminate how making the right choices, even in the face of uncertainty, is the cornerstone of living a life that not only pursues dreams but achieves them.
In this keynote attendees will be able to:
Emphasize the significance of thriving by focusing on controllable factors.
Encourage investing in personal growth to cultivate a winning mindset.
Highlight the necessity of taking responsibility for setbacks to drive positive change.
Explore the impact of decision-making and how strategic choices can accelerate goal achievement.
Uncover the science behind behaviors and methods to reprogram your mindset.
Share strategies for living a thriving life and becoming your best self.
Offer techniques for maintaining consistent habits to lead a fulfilling life and build momentum toward
your goals.
"Choosing to Thrive" is more than a message based on his latest book Guide to Thrive; it's a journey that encourages individuals to rise above their circumstances, embrace the power of resilience, and make choices that are best for them. It's a call to action for everyone to not only dream but to be an active participant in fulfilling those dreams, ensuring that we live lives that make us proud.

The Mental Game Of Winners
How To Get Unstuck, Out Of Your Head, And Thrive
Recognizing the difference between a mentally tough moment and a mental health moment and what to
do about it. Charles knows the highs of success and the lows of defeat. As an experienced and decorated athlete, he was familiar with the challenges life throws at us and had mastered control of his mind as well as his physical body—or so he thought!
When a devastating injury took away his future in track, this life-altering event sent him into a downward
spiral of anxiety and depression that manifested in panic attacks and a new kind of struggle, unlike
anything he had ever experienced. Understanding the stigma of mental health, he knew how important it was to change this narrative for himself and others. His relentlessness took a new turn as he dove into learning the importance of self-care and wellness practices and creating a mindset shift.
Charles has committed himself not only to becoming the best version of himself but helping others to do
the same through mental health awareness and coping skills to experience more resilience, post-traumatic growth, and well-being.
In this session on mental health, Charles will:
Identify what mental health is and what it isn’t
Provide tools and resources to recognize mental well-being
Share several self-therapy techniques to lead, take control, and win in life after anxiety, overwhelm,
and uncertainty
Provide practical coping skills/tactics to help manage stress and optimize your performance
Discuss the importance of self-care and its impact on your future and well-being
Provide guidance and effective strategies for taking ownership of your mental health and wellness
Share ways to become mentally tough and engage in a mental “tune-up”
Explain how to change the view and stigma about mental health
Provide ways to incorporate mental health awareness with team members, coworkers, and staff
Who this topic is for: Anyone looking to take control of their life and win.

The "I" in Team
The Playbook To Create A Winning Culture And Thriving Business
What makes a winning team? Is there a difference in mindset between those who often seem to “win” in life versus those who, well, DON’T? Why do organizations, teams, and team members who all seem to be striving for their vision of success often miss the mark?
Winning teams know it takes individuals doing their part to contribute to the team's success. Charles refers to this leadership concept from his best-selling book as the "I in Team." Charles Clark uses his experience as an entrepreneur, NCAA 3x National Champion, and sixth fastest man in the world to help organizations and leaders develop the winning play that elevates people's performance, buy-in, and communication to a championship level. With his work with elite athletes, Olympians, MLB teams, NFL teams, and Fortune 500 companies such as Kellogg's, Pepsico, Amazon, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and Johnson & Johnson—and more than 600,000 people—Charles understands most people fail and do not achieve their desired goals because they don’t view themselves as a key player in the game, so they struggle to take control of their life and the position they are entrusted with.
The “I” in Team session is a playbook for becoming an All-Star, creating a winning culture, and thriving business. As an authority on overcoming adversity, taking control, and winning, Charles shares concepts from his “I” in Team playbook that demonstrate how to:
Invest in yourself to develop a winning mindset.
Automate your life to increase productivity and free up your time to get faster results.
Build impactful relationships among your team and create a lasting legacy.
Take ownership when things don’t go as planned to create positive change.
Identify the gaps that are stopping you from creating momentum and building on your success.
Be coachable to become a top performer, foster a high-achieving culture, and become part of a winning team.
Discover the best follow-through strategies that create change in the workplace and position you to live the life you want professionally and personally.
