Cory “Kxng” Charles is a TEDx speaker and creator of The HERO Factor™, a framework that helps leaders align identity, beliefs, and behavior so their actions match the future they say they want to build. As a former sales and leadership executive turned peak performance coach, he has worked with organizations across industries to transform culture from the inside out—shifting teams from performative values to lived, daily practices.
Cory’s work sits at the intersection of leadership, psychology, and impact. He helps executives, innovators, and teams confront the stories and habits that quietly cap their potential, then replace them with HERO-level standards that support resilience, stewardship, and long-term thinking.
Known for his energetic, relatable style and no-fluff approach, Cory has become a go-to voice for organizations that want to move beyond inspiration and into identity-driven execution on their most important priorities— including sustainability and the wellbeing of future generations.
