Charles Lewis
Leadership and communication facilitator
Hi, I’m Charles, CEO of Inner Shift Lab. My passion is transforming lives, one positive thought at a time. I believe in the power of personal growth, resilience, and leadership. Through Inner Shift Lab, I aim to create a space where individuals—especially youth—can learn how to love themselves and others, embracing leadership principles that will guide them toward success in both life and work.
Inner Shift Lab is rooted in the values of love, empowerment, and transformation. Our approach is inspired by the timeless teachings of great thinkers like John Maxwell, Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie, and Earl Nightingale. These principles have shaped my life and my work, and I’ve had the privilege of being mentored by John Maxwell himself.
With over a decade of experience working with people facing mental health challenges and substance abuse, my journey has been one of compassion, patience, and a deep commitment to helping others. Through Inner Shift Lab, I offer leadership training and development programs, focusing on teaching self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and positive thinking—all aimed at helping individuals overcome adversity and lead fulfilling, successful lives.
As a Peer Specialist since 2017, I’ve worked closely with underserved communities, people who have been incarcerated, and youth seeking a better future. I’m passionate about showing people that their past does not define them and that with the right mindset and tools, they can create a future they’re proud of.
Whether through our programs, my podcast Taste of Transformation, or our leadership initiatives, Inner Shift Lab is here to help you unlock your potential and take control of your future.
“Charles is not just a workshop leader and coach; he is a catalyst for personal growth!”
