About The Author


Charles Moshier is an operations leader and the author of Charlie's New Leader Playbook: From New Graduate to Confident Manager. He is passionate about bringing clarity to complex work, developing people, and helping new leaders build confidence. Proud of his American and Panamanian roots, Charles came to the United States in his early teens to stay with distant relatives. Arriving without speaking English, he learned independence and perseverance while finding his place in an unfamiliar country. He worked his way through college, became the first in his immediate family to earn a college degree, and continues to pursue higher education. His experiences shaped his approach to leadership: listen closely, set clear expectations, lead with compassion, and remain willing to learn. He also believes that people who support others deserve encouragement and support themselves. Through practical guidance, conversation scripts, and reflection exercises, Charles shares lessons from his professional journey to help new graduates and first-time managers feel more prepared and a little less alone, as they grow into leadership.
