Charlotte Edwards CBE is one of the most influential figures in the history of women’s cricket and a compelling speaker. Known for her calm authority, elite mindset and ability to lead under pressure, she brings valuable insights from over two decades at the top of international sport. Charlotte speaks with clarity, humility and power about leadership, resilience, high performance and team culture – drawing from her own experiences as a captain, coach and changemaker in women’s sport.
Charlotte’s career began with precocious talent – making her England debut aged just 16. She quickly became a key figure in the national team, developing a reputation for tactical intelligence and unwavering focus. Rising through the ranks, she was appointed captain in 2006 and went on to lead England to a string of major victories. Her era-defining leadership delivered the 2009 ICC Women’s World Cup, the 2009 ICC World Twenty20, and multiple Ashes series wins, while her personal tally of 10,000+ international runs marked her as one of the greatest batters in the game’s history. Off the pitch, she pioneered greater visibility for women’s cricket and inspired the next generation of players.
In recent years, Charlotte has seamlessly transitioned into elite coaching and continues to break new ground. She has led Southern Vipers to multiple Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy titles, coached Southern Brave to finals in The Hundred, and taken charge of Mumbai Indians in the Women’s Premier League. In 2025, she was appointed Head Coach of the England Women’s Team, signalling a powerful return to the national setup. Charlotte also made history as the first female President of the Professional Cricketers’ Association (PCA), and the Charlotte Edwards Cup – named in her honour – has become a staple of the domestic calendar. These achievements underscore her enduring influence in the sport.
Organisations book Charlotte not only for her sporting legacy, but because she speaks with rare authenticity and authority on what it takes to succeed in high-pressure environments. Whether discussing leadership, team dynamics, or navigating change, she offers audiences a unique blend of experience, empathy and strategic insight. Charlotte is a speaker who commands attention, leaves a lasting impression, and motivates others to raise their game.

“I want to extend a personal thank you for joining us at Lloyd’s for our International Women’s Day event last week. It was fantastic to hear your story and perspective as we discussed life’s challenges and choices, and most importantly how to respond to them. We were joined by more than 200 women (and a few men) in the room and more than 400 people tuned in to our live broadcast stream. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive – so many were truly inspired by listening to what you have achieved. Getting that life balance right was the advice that resonated with me so much. Thank you again for being part of our push for inclusive progress in the insurance sector and more broadly across society. Your contribution was hugely valued and it was a real pleasure to meet you.”

Engaged with many of the attendees informally and her talk/speech/presentation was excellent and well received prompting a range of questions that she answered with aplomb. I would definitely rate her “5 stars or 10/10” and have no hesitation to giving her the highest recommendation.”
