"I had the pleasure of working with Charles Cain as the digital director at CMT. We worked together on numerous projects including the CMT Music Awards and CMT Artists off the Year.

Charles’s commitment to fostering an environment of continuous improvement and collaboration has made him a cherished and respected mentor. Any organization would be fortunate to benefit from his wisdom, expertise, and unwavering support." - Sunil Nair

 

"Charles is a Servant Leader, he doesn't just talk the talk, he walks the walk. I a recent contract position, one of the qualifiers in my research was I found that Charles was working there as a Scrum Master. I wanted to exercise my agile learning in my practice and found hope that I would be able to meet and gain some mentoring in the role. To my amazement, met him on my first day, ended up on the same team and sitting in the next cube. He took all the time needed; many times when he didn't really have the time to get me up to speed and in sync to the business environment, processes and delivery expectations. An organization that is in need of a true coach, mentor to understand the gaps in productivity, Charles not only has a deep pocket of skills, he carries the internal compass to help executives see the big picture." - Terry LaCandia

 

"I have known Charles for a number of years now and I have been very fortunate to work alongside him. He is an amazing coach who is passionate about bringing about positive change in the workplace and making the workplace more productive. Charles has years of experience coaching agile teams and he has been successful at coaching teams and organizations to become more agile.
Charles is a great team player and steps up to help out his teams and plays a pivotal role in maintaining cohesion amongst team members. He is very knowledgeable about agile and always has new ideas to help organizations. Charles is an asset to any organization he works for and it is an honor to be writing this recommendation for him." - Fahad Chaudhary
