Meet Charlie Parrish

Charlie Parrish is a leadership strategist, keynote speaker, author, and martial artist whose life has been defined by resilience, adaptability, and mastery under pressure. Charlie’s journey has taken him from the back alleys of real-world violence to film sets and corporate boardrooms—all while maintaining an unshakable commitment to excellence. 

With 30 years spent as a Stuntman and technical advisor for film and television, service as a Non-commissioned officer in a heavy weapons Infantry unit, working as a bodyguard for celebrities and diplomats, and a law enforcement trainer, very few speakers or coaches bring as much experience or diversity to the field. Today, Charlie delivers keynotes, workshops, and consulting programs that help organizations, leaders, and teams develop the mindset, structure, and strategies to thrive in uncertainty.

His expertise in fear management, tactical leadership, and small unit cohesion translates across industries—from high-stakes operations to everyday decision-making.
