With Cory
When you book Cory, you’re not just booking a speaker—you’re unleashing a catalyst for change who’s built to spark transformation from the inside out.
Cory Charles is not your typical keynote speaker. He’s a former sales pro turned transformation architect who’s walked the path from failure to fuel. He’s coached leaders, rebuilt businesses, and created proprietary frameworks like The HERO Factor™ that now power teams, organizations, and campuses nationwide.
His dynamic presence and HERO-first philosophy connect deeply with audiences across industries, meeting people exactly where they are—and challenging them to rise.
From the moment he steps on stage, Cory creates a space where people drop the mask, confront what’s holding them back, and finally choose their next level.
