Charles' Reviews

Kathrine Hollister
Charles always does an amazing job. He quickly remembered the names of the ten or so team members in attendance with this class. He seemed to put everyone at ease, because a topic like diversity and inclusion can be a touchy subject. He applied real world/real life examples to the topic at appropriate times. He's a spectacular person and I enjoy attending classes he moderates.

Charles did an amazing job with my team and I! Got to learn a whole lot about my team, open up great dialogue and real world issues with them. Things we never discussed in all years of working here. Charles did an amazing job breaking down each topic to help us understand more clearly. Activities were awesome, and also an amazing guy!

Well done! I really appreciated Charles encouragement for participation without forcing it; this allowed for natural group engagement and conversation. It led to an open floor where we could all open up and learn from one another.

It was a great experience taking 'Choose Your Attitude' class with Charles. Charles is very passionate about what he does and it reflects in the way he operates. He makes sure everyone is engaged and participating in the discussion. He doesn't hesitate to share some of his personal stories and insights to make the connection with his audience!

I honestly can't think of a position more suited for Charles. He is amazing at what he does and you can tell he genuinely loves doing it!

Charles (aka Disco) is simply wonderful. He's a guy who walks in the room and brightens your day. He has a natural aura about him that is contagious and comforting. I really appreciate his zest for life, self-reflection, and growth. Most of all, I appreciate his drive to train and share his beliefs with other and has so much passion.

Charles brought great uplifting energy to the room. It really allowed team mates to open up and speak that normally at meetings or huddles- don't. He made the content relatable to our specific team and had great takeaways to keep the momentum going.

Charles is the man. An excellent facilitator and a great leader. Receptive and creative, knows how to engage and encourage free-flowing conversation.

Charles allows for the room to naturally become a more open and comfortable setting by willing to unveil personal life experiences when teaching a class. This relinquishes the "instructor" stigma and makes him just as much a part of the group as anyone else. His ability to tailor his class to match the personalities / audience in the room was extremely beneficial in making the material more ...Charles allows for the room to naturally become a more open and comfortable setting by willing to unveil personal life experiences when teaching a class.
