Hi, my name is Charles G. Little. I am a husband and father of three who believes in the power of purpose, desire, and an individuals unique genius. As a, now first generation University graduate, I persevered through 11 long and arduous years in order to obtain a Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Engineering while helping to support a family of four and putting my wife through school. Simply put... my journey has taught me that anything is possible and if I have a powerful enough why, I can’t most certainly endure any how. My desire as a motivational speaker is to inspire individuals to find and live their purpose to the absolute fullest by presenting from the “chapter” of my very own journey through resistance and my acquisition of success. They need to know that their purpose (societies need for their unique abilities) preceded them in their existence; as each of us exist to bridge a gap. As an engineer I understand that where there is intelligent design there first existed a great need. Therefore, it goes without saying that the make up of the human being is extremely intelligent which must mean that there is a necessary and powerful purpose for which we were designed to fulfill. Allow me to engage the passion of your team so that I may inspire them to get in focus and find what will catalyze their strive. “Genius is omniscience flowing into man.” -Wallace Wattles
