Planning Events and Booking Speakers is Hard – Let me make your life easy
I’ve been planning and hosting events; including booking speakers for over 15 years so I know how much time and energy goes into making your event a success. This is why I’m committed to helping make your life easy.
Technical Audiences can be picky and sometimes cynical…
Trust me I get it, technical audiences are a tough crowd when it comes to booking motivational speakers and even though it helps for them to know I have an engineering background, you can also be sure that all my talks are practical, relatable and actionable so that your audience will leave knowing they have invested their time well.

Emily Malone
Salesforce Women in Tech Event Coordinator
Charlie spoke at not one, but THREE of my Salesforce Women in Tech events because she is such a brilliant, effortlessly engaging public speaker with tons of personality and helpful learnings to share. I learned a lot from her marketing talks – advice I still use in my career to this day! Couldn’t recommend her enough, she really gets you thinking out of the box!
Jo Rudzki
Events and Marketing at Medilink East Midlands
I saw Charlie speak at a Business Marketing Club event pre-pandemic and invited her to speak at our Medilink Midlands Life Sciences Marketing Special Interest Group as I knew she’d offer loads to our group.
Charlie is not your average speaker, her webinar presentation included elements that the group could interact with as well as lots of actionable takeaways they can implement right away.
Marketing in the life sciences industry is not easy so it was great to see participants rate the webinar so highly in the feedback.

Charlie has spoken on our weekly webinar a number of times now, she provides so much value, we just keep inviting her back! Our weekly webinars are attended by many hundreds of accountants and their feedback is always really positive. Charlies presentation style is conversational and informative. It’s always a real pleasure to have her speak for us.
Malcolm Budd
Export Control Consultant
Charlie is an accomplished and personable speaker who has the ability to facilitate sessions that show us what we are all capable of.
David Hyner
Professional Speaker
Superb speaker with great content, charisma in spades and a very professional delivery style. she hooked you and reeled us in with humour, social proof, and a caring “slap” or two. Well worth booking before she gets too expensive!
Clare Yau
Marketing Consultant
After hearing Charlie speak at a Business Marketing Club (BMC) event for B2B marketers and seeing how proactive she is in sharing her expertise in marketing, I knew she’d make the perfect speaker for our expert webinar for Digital Marketer apprentices. She spoke on leveraging LinkedIn and struck the perfect balance of sharing the right approach to take and practical tips. Charlie connects easily with whatever audience she addresses and I’d highly recommend her as a speaker and trainer.
Susan Heaton-Wright
Owner, Academy of High Achievers
I’ve experienced a number of LinkedIn masterclasses over the years and wondered if I would learn anything new when Charlie recently delivered an online masterclass to a group of speakers. Wow! What an excellent presentation! Not only is she a lively, really engaging speaker, her content was thought provoking, relevant, practical and above all presented in a way that made me realise there are more, simple things I can do to improve my reach on LinkedIn.
Simone Vincenzi
Speaker and MC
Charlie is “the BOMB” of LinkedIn training. During her talk she broke down the most important components of LinkedIn in a practical and simple way. I cannot recommend her enough. Ps. Her bubbly personality is contagious… don’t hire her if you want a boring trainer 😂
Caroline Cavanagh
Director
I have recently listened to a talk from Charlie on her marketing process OTTER. Charlie has the ability to turn what can often be the confusing arena of marketing, into an easy to follow and more importantly, easy to use system that will help a business of any size or shape. I would strongly recommend her in any speaking or training capacity to support people/organisations who want to have marketing made simple and accessible.
Darren Bedson
Managing Director
I had the good fortune of listening to Charlie give a fantastic, insightful presentation at the Professional Speaking Association meeting in Staffordshire and wow. this was one of the, if not the best presentations on LinkedIn I have been to. I learnt a lot about LinkedIn that I wasn’t even aware of but that was due to how Charlie put it across to people of all levels of understanding. if anyone is thinking of appointing a guest speaker on this subject I highly recommend they contact Charlie.

Daring to Try: Choosing Courage Over Confidence
In the fast-paced, competitive world of tech, fear can quietly keep us stuck—whether it’s holding back from asking for a promotion, not speaking up in important meetings, or hesitating to pursue that next big career step. We’re often told we just need more confidence, but what if confidence isn’t the solution? This talk challenges the myth of confidence and shifts the focus to courage—the real key to moving forward. Courage is about taking action despite fear and uncertainty, and it’s what helps you get unstuck, dream bigger, and go after what you truly want in your career.
Key Takeaways:
- The Confidence Myth: Why confidence isn’t the missing piece we’ve been led to believe and why courage is more essential to overcoming fear.
- Understanding and Recognising Fear: How fear shows up—whether it’s fear of failure, rejection, or judgement—and how it holds you back from achieving more.
- Courage vs. Confidence: Why courage is about daring to act despite fear, while confidence often comes after you’ve taken the first step
CHARLIE WHYMAN BIO
Charlie Whyman knows firsthand that navigating career changes, facing redundancy, and starting new ventures can be daunting—but they’re also opportunities for growth. As the Managing Director of TGIS Aviation, a company that specialises in solving complex, time-critical challenges for aircraft and engine owners, she is passionate about helping others take control of their careers and build the courage to take action, no matter what obstacles arise.
With a background as an engineer, a marketer by experience, and a business leader by curiosity, Charlie has built her career across male-dominated industries, from automotive to mining, shipping, and now aviation. In 2006, she founded an award-winning Sardinian Olive Oil business, and after facing redundancy twice, she embraced new challenges by launching her own consultancy and training business in 2017. Her journey ultimately led her to the role of Managing Director, offered by a client who saw her leadership and problem-solving abilities in action.
As a university dropout with no formal qualifications, Charlie is open about the twists and turns of her career, using her story to show that fear doesn’t have to hold you back. Through her experiences as a business leader, speaker, and co-parent to her 5-year-old son, she demonstrates that with courage and the right support, it’s possible to take control, push past fear, and create your own path to success.
