Become who you are capable of becoming

Hi, my name is Charles Oldroyd.

I mentor a limited number of individuals that wish to build extraordinary careers and lives.

Artists. Founders. Models. Creatives. Performers. Executives. Public figures.

People say I’m useful when things need to change. I help them develop the mindset, presence and self-belief to grow into who they are becoming.

The method

Mentoring should always be a short-term project. My goal is to become useless as quickly as possible. To achieve this, I work across 5 core dimensions:

MENTAL PERFORMANCE | Mental skills used by elite athletes to build focus, confidence and resilience under pressure.

BREATHWORK | Breathing techniques to regulate the nervous system and access different levels of energy and presence.

EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING | Test & learn continuously through action.

INNER INTELLIGENCE | Tap into what's underneath the mental noise.

ACCOUNTABILITY| Become responsible for your choices, beliefs and actions.

The results

Signing the Chanel campaign. Winning a $1m client. Getting five stars in The New York Times. These are incredible outcomes. But they are not in your control.

What is in your control is how you choose to show up. How you prepare. And how you respond when things don't go to plan.

My method builds the skills to:

• Work with pressure without letting stress take over

• Build self-awareness and self-trust so you can perform from a stronger sense of yourself

• Create rituals, discipline and structure that make consistent performance possible

• Set clear goals and course correct when what you're doing isn't working

You can't control the outcome. But you can train for the moment.

  • “An exceptional coach who pushed me to take risks and go further, to embrace who I am, and to express my desires with honesty. I've never felt so proud of myself. Warm, attentive, passionate, and generous with his energy, expertise, and experiences. Charles has my full trust: I recommend him wholeheartedly!”

    Founder, EdTech

  • “A wonderful human encounter with Charles. I want to write these few words to sincerely thank you. It is rare these days to meet someone who still holds such beautiful human values and is so generous with their time and experience. Your support is truly precious. Again, a millions thanks.”

My story

I am French and British, and live between Paris and New York.

I've been fascinated by creativity and performance since I was a kid learning to sing and dance at Sylvia Young Theatre School in London. 

Life went another way, and I spent 15 years working with leaders in high performance corporates and tech startups (Danone, Newmark, Deezer, Scalapay) before training as a mentor.

Along the way, I went through my own journey of recovery from addiction, working with teachers who helped me build a grounded life, as well as learning to write songs and sing again. 

I believe we can all live boundless lives beyond what we think possible. It took me a lot of help and journeying to build the life I dreamed of. Today I am sharing all I've learned back.
