This one is personal. Charlie Cannon is one of the best leadership coach and resilience specialist that I know, and I still remember the first time we met. I was interviewing him for a big culture change programme in a bank, and I asked him why he personally wanted to be on it. He told me he wanted to heal the relationship with his father.

That is more or less where this conversation picks up. We talk about the forces that shape a life and a leadership style. We kept returning to the same idea. Leadership does not begin with changing other people. It begins with the lifelong adventure of knowing ourselves.

Charlie has spent more than twenty-five years helping leaders and teams perform under pressure and meet change with more resilience and awareness. He draws on elite sport, leadership development, depth psychology and contemplative practice, and works with people who want high performance and real personal growth at the same time.

His work rests on one belief: lasting transformation comes through presence, courage and meaningful human connection.
