by | Oct 23, 2025 | Author, Leadership | 0 comments

Charles Achampong is a best-selling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and passionate advocate for the power of pausing. After two decades leading transformative work across government, philanthropy, and the private sector—including with Scotiabank and the Vancouver 2010 Olympics—Charles made a bold move: he hit pause on it all to travel the world with his wife and daughters. That life-changing sabbatical inspired his book, Around the World in Family Days, a heartfelt exploration of what it means to slow down, reconnect, and live with intention. Through stories that are both deeply personal and universally

relatable, Charles teaches audiences how to build what he calls “failure immunity”—the inner resilience to face life’s setbacks with courage, clarity, and purpose.
