He became the 6th fastest man in the world over his career, but after suffering a serious injury he was left struggling to find his identity again.

It was 2011 when Charles Clark’s life changed and he hit rock bottom. After being a successful track and field star with prestigious titles under his belt, including 6th fastest man in the world and being close to securing his own shoe deal, Charles suffered a serious injury that prevented him from continuing with his athletic career. He moved back home to live with his mom after finishing college and dealt with bad depression. Seeking a renewed purpose for his life, Charles began giving talks at local schools – but he always held back the harder aspects of his story, believing nobody would want to hear about how much he was suffering.

He went on in 2012 to start his own non-profit and put on his first ever fashion show whilst writing his own book. Having found a new direction in life, Charles continued pushing forward and set out to use his story and the skills he’d developed to transform his own life and mindset in order to motivate and help others. In 2018 he commenced his own podcast the Thrive Tribe and developed the Thrive Planner. In 2020 Charles got married to his wife and his wealth hit 6 figures, demonstrating the success of his hard work and how he’d turned his life around after dealing with his injury and the depression that resulted.

How to Become Relentless

How to take captive your thoughts and break down barriers in your life

Charles’ entrepreneurial and athletic careers had something in common: Both journeys were difficult. The kind of “difficult” that makes you want to give up. It’s taken Charles a certain type of mental toughness to help him push through the hard times to become a better version of himself. Since beginning his athletic and entrepreneurial careers, Charles has identified the common process for relentlessness that guarantees success. Adjusting his mindset and never giving up.

It’s easy to quit when you hit rock bottom. It’s your mindset that can either make or break the way you handle tough situations. Within this topic, Charles shares what it means to become relentless enough to deal with the stress that fear equips. He shares the science and impact behind stress in our lives and how it can be taken captive so it doesn’t destroy us and get us off the right path in life and in our careers.

In this session on relentlessness, Charles teaches you how to:

  • Understand our thoughts and use them to create a successful strategy for life and career
  • Create a positive mindset in even the most stressful situations
  • Unleash the desire and steps to achieve more happiness and success
  • Relearn the meaning of success to avoid burnout
  • Approach your goal with passion and drive for achieving it
  • Become committed to an outcome, even in the most undesirable situations

Building Skyscraper Relationships

How to build impactful relationships among your team to help you conquer business goals and create a productive environment.

In the last few years, relationships have been tested more than ever. We’ve had to navigate through COViD while still learning how to maintain healthy relationships with our friends, family and team members. But, the truth is, relationships are how we win bigger in life. It’s crucial to prioritize them.

The “Building Skyscraper Relationships” workshop has been used with Fortune 500 companies and small businesses to unlock the power of relationships in an organization to drive results, improve customer experiences and create a lasting legacy. In this session, Charles teaches people that the “I” in “team” doesn’t exist when it comes to finding success. True success occurs when we prioritize people and not take on life alone. These are principles that can be applied with both personal and business relationships.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:

  • Set up powerful relationships with every person in your corner
  • Deepen an organization’s foundation and increase productivity among your team
  • Build genuine relationships between your team members
  • Understand the 4 levels of relationships that humans desire
  • Determine the difference between those in your circle of influence and those you are called to influence
  • Be equipped to lead your team by putting an effective strategy in place
  • Break down the biggest barrier in the way of creating legacy and momentum in your organization

Who this topic is for: Any corporate or small business leadership team
