THE PROBLEM I HELP ORGANISATIONS TO SOLVE
What would performance look like if your operating system was built around trust? Right now, many teams are operating in permanent ‘response mode’, reacting to pressure, restructuring, new technologies, and shifting expectations, without ever realigning around a shared purpose. The result isn’t just uncertainty, it’s fragmentation. Energy drains, people stop taking risks. In a world that rewards speed, adaptability, and connection, that’s how organisations get overtaken.
THE UNIQUE LIFE EXPERIENCE I BRING
In 2024, Charlie Martin stood on the podium at Le Mans, Pride flag in hand, embodying a career spent fuelling change in motorsport. She knows the bravery it takes to look and feel different, and how deeply this impacts performance under pressure. The courage required to transition in her sport has been recognised by British Vogue Magazine, as one of 25 extraordinary women changing the world, giving her a rare, credible lens on personal growth, belonging, and human potential.
THE SOLUTIONS I HELP TO CREATE
Charlie doesn’t deliver inspiration and leave. She builds capability. Through practical frameworks, lived experience, and high-impact storytelling, she helps teams break down barriers, clarify purpose, and turn belonging into a competitive advantage. The transformation is tangible: stronger trust, braver leadership, deeper connection, and a culture where people don’t just cope with change – they drive it.

Chances are you’re already more resilient than you think, it’s just a case of digging beneath the surface…
By identifying moments when we overcame adversity, we find strength and remind ourselves of what is possible ✊🏼
Want to build more resilience? Try pushing yourself to do something that feels uncomfortable 😬💦
✅ Go for a run even though it’s raining
✅ Present in front of your team at work
✅ Aim for a new PB in the gym
✅ Talk to a friend if you’re struggling with mental health
Small, regular actions are the key to unlocking #resilience – try it and see how you feel one week later 🙌🏼
Racing in hillclimb was wild 🤪 from 2015-2017 I raced in the French Hillclimb Championship (plus a few FIA European rounds) and it was an experience I’ll never forget 🥹💕🇫🇷
The first 2yrs I raced a Formula Renault out of a van (also Renault) 🚚⬅️🏎️👩🏼🔧 and I did literally everything solo. It was exhausting, scary at times, and the best adventure of my life so far. Constantly living outside your comfort zone forces you to embrace the unknown, to improve, innovate, believe in yourself and live for the moment 😄
Those experiences shaped me and everything that came next, it’s what made me realise racing was more than a hobby, it was a way of life. I learnt things about myself I would never have discovered any other way 👩🏼🎓
Moral of the story = embrace the things that challenge and scare you, whether you you succeed or fail, this is where personal growth takes root 🌱🧠⚡️🚀

The first time I experienced downforce in a race car, I learned something bigger than racing: trust is the fuel for high performance 🤝🏼⛽️🧨🚀
No one wants to crash at high speed, no one wants to fail in business either. But growth only happens when we step outside our comfort zone and take calculated risks 😳🤩
When your teams know honest failure won’t lead to blame, they unlock –
✅ Confidence and trust in themselves
✅ Confidence and trust in leadership
✅ Confidence and trust in each other under pressure
In racing, the trust between driver and race engineer is non-negotiable, it needs to be there from lap one. In business, it’s the same.
Build trust early by encouraging team members, being reliable and consistent, transparent and open to ideas / feedback,
giving credit for small wins, and normalising small mistakes as part of the learning process. Result = performance takes off 🛫

Could you handle the heat? 🥵 making split second, high pressure decisions when you’re physically melting in a race car is intense 🫠
How can we train our mental resilience and ability to react & function when we’re also under heavy physical load?
Maintaining alertness, concentration and self awareness is the key, and it’s something we can all develop to access peak performance through periods of high stress 🙀
Boxing, meditation, cold water exposure / therapy, trail running and using the simulator are some ways I’ve found that extend my mental and physical capacity 🧘🏼♀️❄️🥊🏃🏼♀️➡️🕹️

In high-pressure moments, whether in life or at work, it can be tempting to shift responsibility and pass the buck. Deadlines, targets, and expectations can make it feel like the easiest way out 🤷🏼♀️
But in motorsport, there’s no such luxury. Every action is tracked, every input is recorded, there’s nowhere to hide 👀
That level of accountability teaches us a powerful lesson: when we own our actions, we operate with integrity. We raise our standards, stay true to our values, and move away from blame culture – it’s a win both on the track and in business 🌟🏁
