Verified @gmail.comMr. Charles Wiley was one of our youth speakers and workshop presenters on January 2014, for our young men at Hillcrest Academy. His speech and workshop was phenomenal! He presented on Critical Thinking/ Stress De-Escalation. Our young men received his information very well. Mr. Wiley truly brings inspiration, impact and purpose when he presents. We had great success from Mr. Wiley working with our youth, that have graduated from our program and are doing well in life. Mr. Wiley continues to mentor and speak to the youth, which is very much needed in our society. He was really able to motivate our at risk youth to a point where they started to believe in themselves. We highly recommend Mr. Charles Wiley for any Youth or adult programs. I also highly recommend Charless autobiography named To God Be The Glory/ Never Stop Never Give Up! It definitely brings inspiration and motivation to all.

Verified @jobcorps.orgI am writing to highly recommend Mr. Charles Wiley, a motivational speaker and author, to anyone who is seeking a talented and engaging speaker. I had the pleasure of inviting Mr. Wiley to speak at our center, Cincinnati "Job Corps," where he delivered a powerful message to the youth about important topics such as suicide, bullying, and cyberbullying. Mr. Wiley's ability to connect with and inspire the students was truly remarkable, and his insights on navigating through societal issues were invaluable. Our students were also impressed with his book, "To God Be the Glory," and his establishment of the BLACK Positive Brothers and Sisters organization. Growing up in the inner city of Lincoln Heights himself, Mr. Wiley is a shining example of how one can overcome challenges and achieve success. I wholeheartedly endorse Mr. Wiley as a speaker and role model for anyone looking to make a positive impact on young people's lives.

L.S., Office Administrator, NEW PROSPECT BAPTIST CHURCH
Verified @yahoo.comA motivational speaker, life coach and author who focuses on helping young people overcome failures and reclaim success. Charles shares with his audience life experiences, critical thinking and his success of hard work, perseverance and sacrifice. On two occasions, New Prospect Baptist Church had the good fortune to bring Charles to speak to youth at a Career Workshop and the keynote speaker during a worship service. He captivated a listening audience of young people and adults delivering a message of hope, love and compassion for our fellow human beings. "The greatest things in life aren't things." At the end of your life, it's not about how much money you're made or what you're become, it's about self-love and the relationship you've had with others along the way." These two strong themes that underscore all that Charles brings to his presentation. If you're looking for a dynamic, inspirational, energetic and passionate speaker for an event, conference, workshop, I strongly recommend Charles Wiley, someone who has been there and done it to inspire others to be successful.

Verified @yapinc.orgI want to thank you for leading, mentoring & teaching our Youth at the Youth Advocate Programs. I thought you did an excellent job of getting our youth's attention, by providing them with useful information, training & guidance to understand the concepts of critical thinking, life skills and how to become an entrepreneur. I appreciated your experience in all your subject matters, your originality and the fact that your trainings, presentations were not canned or generic in any way but had a unique character to it and actually gave the youth some good information that they can use & apply in their lives. The materials and information you provided were practical and useful. I like the way you got their attention right at the beginning and managed to keep their attention throughout the sessions. I believe they all enjoyed learning how to play Chess and & how chess strategies relate to critical thinking, everyday life & how the introduction was very important and clever. It's not always easy to get a group of young people involved in the evening trainings & workshops especially at the end of a school day & other extracurricular activities, but you managed to do a great job of it. Again, thank you and I'm pleased to recommend your program to anyone who asks about it.
