Industry-leading Performance Enhancement Coach, Associate Mindset Coach at Matthew Syed Consulting
Charlie Cannon’s Biography:
Charlie Cannon is an industry-leading performance enhancement coach and keynote speaker, best known for helping leaders and organisations build resilience and sustain high performance under pressure. Currently working as Associate Mindset Coach and Consultant at Matthew Syed Consulting and Performance Enhancement Coach at CharlieCannon.com, he is a motivational, psychology-led speaker whose most notable achievement is becoming a 2025 Finalist at The Speaker Awards, recognising his impact on leadership and mindset development.
Charlie’s early career was rooted in sport and physical performance. A talented schoolboy sportsman who represented England at rugby, West of England hockey and county cricket, his ambition to become a professional athlete was ultimately challenged by difficulties performing under pressure. A traumatic car accident at the age of 21, which left him hospitalised and his sister critically injured, became a defining moment. This experience reframed his understanding of failure and resilience, sparking a lifelong commitment to helping others recover, adapt and grow. He began his professional journey as a tennis coach and personal trainer, later working with senior executives and even Oscar-winning actors, where he observed the direct link between energy, wellbeing and workplace performance.
This insight led Charlie into executive and leadership coaching, supported by formal study in Organisational Development and Executive Coaching at the NAOS Institute and Applied Positive Psychology. Over nearly two decades, he has held senior coaching roles including Leadership Coach at Coach in a Box Holdings Ltd and Associate Consultant, Facilitator and Coach at Bridge Partnerships. His client portfolio includes global brands such as HSBC, PepsiCo, Tesco, BP, Deloitte, Unilever, Amazon and Manchester City Football Club. Charlie is widely respected for blending scientific research, performance psychology and lived experience to deliver practical, immediately usable tools.
