Charley’s Bio: Charley Timmins

"We all possess hidden talents, wisdom, and ideas with the potential to impact the world positively. However, few ever realize their potential, let alone apply it in the service of others…” - Charley Timmins

As a specialist in career-related transitioning, Charley believes we are always in transition, i.e., we’re either transitioning to our Authentic Self, a satisfying job, a strategic promotion, a new client, a new career, or a purpose-driven retirement. 

He partners with high-caliber clients who need to discover what differentiates them so they can prevail in competitive workplaces, earn more money, make an impact, and have more fun.

As a Personal Branding Strategist, he mentors executives and professionals to define their purpose, craft authentic stories, build trusted networks, and design/ execute a playbook to secure roles/ engagements/ contracts with mission-driven organizations.

How? Charley gets his clients to broaden their impact and increase their income and productivity authentically without using a cookie-cutter approach. No longer “stuck in 2nd gear,” they are freed to move forward quickly. He then guides them on an inward journey to rediscover their hidden treasures, identify their ‘secret sauce,’ and figure out “What’s Next?” professionally while empowering them to apply their superpowers - with fearless confidence.
