EP228: Charles Kyriakou, Founder of Charles Kyriakou Coaching -How Top Billers Outperform Even In Challenging Markets

Published on: 10th June, 2024

In this episode, we're excited to have Charles Kyriakou, the Founder of Charles Kyriakou Coaching. Charles began his career in healthcare recruitment after completing his apprenticeship. Starting at a temporary staffing desk, he then transitioned to permanent recruitment, where he thrived in a fast-paced, new market environment. His hard work and talent led him to a managerial position in no time.

During the pandemic, Charles reflected on his true passion and decided to pivot to coaching. Despite having no prior experience, he took on a role as an L&D manager, where he successfully built a department from the ground up.

In 2023, Charles faced a challenging job market and was made redundant. However, he views this as a blessing in disguise. This pivotal moment allowed him to fully dedicate himself to his coaching business, which he now runs successfully.

In this episode, Charles speaks about :

  • What is business development? 
  • How can leaders be inclusive of the new generation 
  • How do top billers outperform even in challenging markets?

Listen to Charles's inspiring journey of resilience, passion, and success in the face of adversity.
