Advancing and advocating fine language (in a world full of memes)


Charlie has spent years training people to master the art of communication—whether commanding a stage, delivering a pitch, or holding their own under the media spotlight. For centuries, language has been humanity’s sharpest tool. Yet in today’s world of scrolling feeds, throwaway memes, and 10-second soundbites, true eloquence has become a rare superpower.
Technology, paradoxically, is both the villain and the hero of this story. It can shrink our attention spans and flatten our words—or it can be harnessed to make us sharper, bolder, and more persuasive than ever before. Charlie is firmly in the latter camp.
Charlie's philosophy is simple, but uncompromising:
Charlie’s mission is nothing less than to revive the lost art of rhetoric for the 21st century: blending the wisdom of the ancients with the tools of tomorrow, so that words can once again move hearts, change minds, and shape the world.
Simply put: Charlie trains people and creates books. But in practice, it’s a little richer than that.
Through workshops, one-to-one coaching, and team-based sessions—whether online or in person—Charlie creates spaces where people can not only polish their communication skills but also learn to think on their feet without tripping over them. These sessions are designed to be both safe and stretching: part rehearsal room, part gym, part laboratory for ideas.
Charlie’s books extend this spirit to the page. They open the door to a wider audience, offering witty, surprising vignettes that reveal the pleasures (and power) of thoughtful communication and dialogue. They’re not manuals so much as invitations: an entertaining way to rediscover what language can really do when it’s used with care and craft.
And while the spark behind both the training and the books remains wholly human, Charlie isn’t shy about letting AI lend a hand. Think of it less as a replacement, more as a clever sidekick—quietly enhancing the process, without ever stealing the spotlight.
