Charles Feltman
President & Founder
Welcome to Insight Coaching. My name is Charles Feltman, and I am the founder and owner of this company. It is a sole proprietorship that has been in business in California since 1992. I am proud to say that Insight Coaching has served thousands of individuals, teams, and companies through our coaching, consulting, leadership development programs, and trust-building workshops.
I have been coaching, facilitating, consulting, and training people who lead others for over 25 years. After over a decade of working in the communication technology industry, I left a senior leadership position to start my own consulting business. Shortly after that, my focus shifted from consulting to executive coaching with an emphasis on clients experiencing consistent success and wellbeing.
Charles holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of California Santa Cruz and a master’s in organization development from the University of Southern California. He holds an International Coach Federation credential of Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and received formal coach training from The Newfield Network. He is certified in The Leadership Circle Profile, MBTI, DiSC, and the Triscendance Trust Assessment for Leaders and Teams. He is also a certified husband, father, and grandfather.
Insight Coaching Affiliates
Insight Coaching partners with a global network of carefully selected coaches who serve as Insight Coaching Affiliates. Each brings their unique and valuable expertise and way of being to the work we do.
When capacity, geography, and/or unique client needs require additional coaches, different skill sets, and/or presence in far-flung parts of the globe, Insight Coaching can tap our Affiliates to help serve these needs. We have worked extensively with each of these individuals and companies and can bring them on board for a client engagement or refer a client to any of them without hesitation.
Our Mission
Insight Coaching is dedicated to helping people awaken to their fullest potential and, through doing so, realize success and wellbeing at work and in life for themselves and those they lead.
We do this primarily through executive and leadership coaching and custom leadership development programs.
Insight Coaching Services
Coaching executives and managers who want to develop or strengthen the key leadership skills that produce exceptional business results. These can include influencing up, down, and across the organization, creating strong alignment and commitment, leading teams, and heading up change initiatives. In addition, I coach leadership teams that want to develop greater trust, alignment, collaboration, innovation, and accountability to produce exceptional results consistently.
Working with clients to design and deliver custom learning programs for organizational leaders. Programs are unique to each client’s needs, culture, and goals. At the same time, all programs are designed around the idea that organizations are networks of conversations, and the more effective leaders are at having the right conversations with the right people, at the right times, and in the right ways, the more successful their company will be.
Author of best seller The Thin Book of Trust: An Essential Primer for Building Trust at Work, my book is based on three decades of experience working with individuals and teams on issues of trust, integrity, commitment, and collaboration. One area in which trust has emerged as a key differentiator is developing a culture of creative diversity. Having a diverse organization in terms of gender, race, culture, and perspectives can be a huge competitive advantage, but only when the relationships are founded on trust.
