Charlie Unwin – High Performance & Resilience
Inspirational Keynote Speaker - Peak Performance & Team Building
Leading Performance Psychologist, Expert in High Performance, Resilience, Mindset and Sustainable Success
Speaker Overview
Charlie Unwin is a leading performance psychologist and keynote speaker who helps individuals, leaders and teams understand how to perform at their best, particularly when operating under pressure, uncertainty and change.
Drawing on experience across elite sport, the military and business, Charlie explores the psychology behind sustained high performance and translates lessons from demanding performance environments into practical strategies that can be applied in everyday working life.
His work focuses on how people can develop stronger mindsets, manage pressure more effectively, maintain focus through challenging periods and build the habits and behaviours required for consistent performance.
Charlie combines performance psychology with compelling stories and practical techniques, helping audiences understand not only what high performers do differently, but how they can apply those same principles themselves.
Rather than presenting high performance as simply working harder, Charlie explores how organisations can create the conditions for people to perform sustainably, balancing ambition and achievement with recovery, resilience and long-term wellbeing.
