"Charlie- It was a real pleasure to have you in the meeting. Everyone kept referring to your speech and making reference to it throughout the day! You nailed it tailoring it for us so big THANK YOU!!" - Ileana Barrera, Sr. Global Marketing Manager of Cheetos

“I’ve hosted 18 TEDx events around the world, and was lucky enough to have Charlie at two of our TEDx Santo Domingo events. He is an amazing human being and a true expert at making work happier and less stressful through play. I would have Charlie back in the Dominican Republic in a heartbeat. I can’t recommend him enough.” – Freddy Ginebra

“Charlie delivers a message that resonates with everyone. I’ve personally made adjustments to my life after hearing him speak, and many of my coworkers at Tesla are starting to do the same. It’s been a privilege to share the stage with him at The Pentagon, Fort Hood, TEDx Santo Domingo, and more events to come.” – Josh Mantz, HR Business Partner

“Charlie is one of the most fun speakers we’ve ever had. He’s full of practical ideas, great stories, and so easy to relate to. By the end of his speech, he had all 80 attendees on their feet, playing Rock Paper Scissors with each other. After a long day of sitting and quietly taking notes, it was so refreshing to see the room full of energy and laughter.” – Krisstina Wise

“Thank you Charlie for another great session delivered to the Soft Skills Community in Microsoft attended by 105 members from Microsoft FTEs (managers, leaders, executives, consultants and account team) from multiple countries worldwide including Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia, LATAM. The call survey was very positive with a rating 4.8 out of 5 stars.” – Ahmed Zayed

“When I think of speakers who have changed my life and business, Charlie Hoehn is the first one that comes to mind. Before I saw Charlie speak I was successful on paper, but privately overwhelmed by stress and anxiety. Apparently Charlie had been there too and gave amazing tips for using play, fun, and intentionality to get back to loving life again. Today, thanks to Charlie’s training, I host non-traditional meetings that my clients LOVE. More importantly, I’m easier on myself, I feel like I can control my anxiety, and I enjoy my work – and life – much more. Charlie gets my highest recommendation as a speaker and trainer. He is not to be missed.” - Jason Connell

“Charlie has a unique ability to capture any type of audience and get them to think outside of the box – including innovative hackers and entrepreneurs that never turn off. Instead of the typical internet tycoon, VC, or over-worked startup founder, I wanted to bring in someone with a fresh, philosophical perspective. Even though he was the only one speaking, Charlie had a conversation with every single person in the room. And that influential conversation continued well after he left. It’s very rare to find someone who’s able to give advice to an anonymous audience like they would to their best friend. And that’s what makes Charlie’s talks that much more powerful – you’ll see the tangible effects instantly.” – Anjali Kundra

"Thank you for giving such a heartfelt, inspiring, and entertaining keynote. Your sincerity and your message resounded with the audience, and inspired us all to analyze our lives. Thank you for sharing your story!” – Luba Sobolevsky

“I absolutely LOVED Charlie’s message to have more fun. He combined research and heartfelt storytelling into a highly relatable presentation. He's a wonderful resource to the field of mental wellness. We cannot thank him enough for his contribution. I only wish more of our members could have attended.” – Cameron Vann

“When we approached Charlie to speak to a group of Veterans, there was no hesitation in his acceptance, and boy did he knock it out of the park! His message was spot on and the audience was truly engaged. We hope his schedule will allow him to speak at all of our future events!” – Phil Randazzo

“Charlie does something few people have the courage to do: shine a spotlight on a topic that so many of us suffer from and don’t want to admit is a problem. Overwork, social isolation, and burnout are issues that ring true for the majority of people in today’s society, and Charlie’s message in support of play acts as a constant reminder that we don’t have to live that way. I’ve personally seen that integrating play into a daily routine is critical in the startup world, and that it acts as the foundation to the kind of outside-of-the-box thinking that sparks the innovation necessary for disruptive change.” – Vijay Thakkar
