Renowned for her mastery of accents, physicality, and comic timing, Charlotte can enliven all the topics she speaks about, including self-mastery, audacious leadership, conquering fear, and the lessons of disability.

Charlotte’s early career is marked by her overcoming adversity, specifically complications caused by her complex genetic illness, which took her from a long-term inpatient to London’s West End stage. In 2018, she faced a significant setback when she lost the use of her right arm. However, this life-changing event became a catalyst for reinventing herself and finding new avenues to success. With the unwavering support of Flying Scholarships for Disabled People (FSDP), she earned her LAPL (Light Aircraft Pilot Licence), mastering the art of flying one-handed. This experience not only empowered her but also positioned her to assist clients in overcoming physical and psychological limitations to achieve career success. These challenges have inspired her to guide women towards self-mastery and proactivity, emphasising the importance of self-nurture and resilience in adversity.

Charlotte has an impressive list of achievements, including overcoming the loss of her right arm five years ago due to a complex genetic illness. Despite this setback, she mastered the art of flying, becoming one of the few disabled pilots in the country. Her resilience and determination have earned her recognition from renowned organisations such as the Royal Marines Band, BBC, Disney, and the Bank of England, where she has shared her insights on high-pressure performance and leadership. One of her most recent achievements was coaching the Royal Marines Band to overcome performance anxiety in preparation for the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II and the coronation of King Charles III.
