Charles Wisner

Chuck Wisner is a leadership advisor, coach, and author specializing in the art—and impact—of conscious conversations. For more than twenty-five years, he’s helped leaders and teams in some of the world’s most influential companies navigate the human side of work: how we speak, listen, make decisions, and build trust.

Wisner’s approach is grounded in both deep research and lived experience. Early in his career, he spent fifteen years as a partner at HKT Architects in Cambridge, Massachusetts. A shift toward human dynamics led him to study mediation at Harvard Law School, train in advanced coaching at the Newfield Institute, and work as an affiliate with MIT’s Center for Organizational Learning. Along the way, he became fascinated with one enduring truth: conversations are at the heart of everything that works—and everything that doesn’t.

Today, Wisner has worked with leaders and teams at Google, Apple, Tesla, Rivian, and other Fortune 200 companies. His past clients range from Harvard Business School to the Detroit Mayor’s Office.

He’s the author of The Art of Conscious Conversations, a practical guide to making communication more intentional, impactful, and human.

Wisner lives in New England with his wife, Kata, an artist. They have two sons who are out in the world chasing creative dreams.
