Greatness.

empower organizations, leaders, and sales teams to break beyond mediocrity and perform at the heroic level.

Transform Your Team from Good → Great → Legendary!

Hey,

I’m Cory!

AKA Cory “Kxng” Charles

I don’t just speak transformation, I’ve lived it. Brooklyn-born to immigrant parents. ADHD. Kicked out of countless classrooms. Gifted but labeled a failure. I never fit in, so I forged my own path. Through failures, business losses, and hard-won lessons, I discovered the real X-factor: choice.

That’s the origin of The HERO Factor™ a blueprint forged in real life, now used by leaders and teams ready to leap past limitation.

 

When I speak, you don’t get floss.
You get BOLD, practical frameworks backed by results.

Keynotes

Forget stale speeches. My presentations combine storytelling, emotional truth, and actionable frameworks so audiences leave ready to act, not just inspired.

Convert

Sale Training

High performance in sales isn’t about scripts, it’s about psychology, alignment, and persistence under pressure. In SuperHero Selling™, your team learns how to engage, persuade, and close with authenticity and power.

Leadership Coaching

Leadership isn’t a title, it’s a transformation. Through 1:1 and cohort coaching, I help leaders align beliefs, master habits, and build cultures that thrive in uncertainty.

Organizations don’t rise because of resources, strategy, or even talent. They rise because of identity – who your people believe they are, how they show up, and the standard they operate from.

Build a Future That’s Not Just More Productive – But More HEROIC

One of the most influential & charismatic professionals

Cory is one of the most influential and charismatic professionals I have interacted with. Early on in my career (though it wasn’t long ago), he had a significant impact on the way I perceived not only others but myself. If you are looking for someone to encourage you, mentor you, and push you to be your best Cory is your guy! Few people have the ability to impact and entertain a large crowd for a long period of time but he is fluid in every word he speaks while also delivery a meaningful message.

~ Michaela G. | Data Science & Analytics @ MIT

He was more than a keynote; he was a catalyst. And we couldn’t have asked for more.

It is with great enthusiasm that I recommend Cory Charles as an exceptional keynote speaker. Cory was the perfect choice to inspire and energize our team, and he exceeded every expectation. From the moment he stepped on stage, his presence commanded attention—not with volume, but with authenticity, insight, and an undeniable ability to connect.

Cory’s message was not only motivational; it was deeply relevant and actionable. He spoke with a rare blend of warmth, humor, and clarity, weaving in powerful stories and sharp insights that resonated with every person in the room. He didn't just speak to us—he moved us. His words sparked reflection, conversation, and, most importantly, a renewed sense of purpose within our team.

What sets Cory apart is his intuitive understanding of people. He doesn’t deliver cookie-cutter talks—he takes the time to understand the audience, the organization, and the moment. That care was evident in every word he shared. Our team left feeling seen, empowered, and ready to take bold steps forward.

If you are looking for a keynote speaker who can truly make an impact—someone who elevates minds, opens hearts, and sets a tone of inspiration and momentum—Cory Charles is that speaker. He was more than a keynote; he was a catalyst. And we couldn’t have asked for more.

the best training I’ve been a part of in my 20+ year career.

I had the absolute pleasure of attending Cory’s sales training this week and I must say it’s the best training I’ve been a part of in my 20+ year career.

He was energetic, knowledgeable, relatable and full of valuable insight….and best of all super funny!

The training was packed with practical tips, fresh perspective and the type of motivation that sticks with you long after the training ends.

Whether you’re new to sales or a seasoned pro, I highly recommend connecting with him.

Thank you Cory for empowering my inner SuperHero and unleashing tools to create and maintain a positive mindset!
