Charlotte Hunt

There was a story told about a young boy and his father who were visiting a zoo one day.  While walking through the zoo, they came upon the cage of a roaring lion.  The frightened little boy exclaimed, "Father, let's run, the lion is going to get us.  I'm frightened.  Please, let's run from here."  The boy looked up at the father who stood unshaken.  The lion roared with all of his might at the boy and his father.  Again, the shaken little boy shouted to his dad, "Father, please, let's run from here.  Can't you see the danger in the eyes of the lion?  Why aren't you afraid?  The father lovingly looked down at his son and said, "I'm not afraid because my eyes aren't on the lion.  My eyes are on the cage."

That is the work of Charlotte Hunt.  She helps leaders and individuals, through journey (life) coaching, speaking events, and writing, to release their eyes from the lions in their lives (fears, pain, past and present obstacles & issues) and move toward the reality of the cage for their future (Their potential, abilities, purpose, identity, proper self-assessments, etc.)

Charlotte Hunt is an International conference speaker, author, certified journey coach and survivor who helps people of all backgrounds to understand their direction through assessments, coaching, and relationship and helps them to walk past their fears, obstacles, pain and move into the life they have been created to walk in.

People often believe what they do or what has been said about them is who they are. They forget their story and the journey, themes, and passions of their lives that empower them for greatness and their purpose. Charlotte was told that because of her damaged and abusive past she would never be used by God. Yet, today, she pours into the lives of others to let them know no past can ever exclude them from their purpose and plan!
