Male Allyship in Aviation: Why ‘Being a Nice Guy’ Isn’t Enough”
In this article, Charlie Whyman explores why well-meaning support from men in the aviation industry falls short when it remains passive. At an event hosted by the Advancing Women in Aviation Roundtables, Whyman reflects on how true allyship requires self-awareness, deliberate action, and the willingness to challenge norms — rather than simply “being nice.” He outlines ten practical steps men can take to actively support women in aviation, emphasising that real change comes when behaviour shifts from supportive intention to concrete advocacy.

Stop Calling ADHD a Superpower. Batman doesn’t have superpowers, neither do I.”
In this piece, Charlie Whyman challenges the popular notion that ADHD should be celebrated as a “superpower.” Drawing on his own recent diagnosis, he argues that success for neurodivergent individuals isn’t the result of innate magic but of building and using a toolkit of strategies — the mental “utility belt” that helps navigate everyday challenges and complex tasks alike. Whyman invites readers to focus on what works, admit what doesn’t, and recognise that resilience and adaptation—not mythologised powers—make the difference.

Both pieces can be delivered as keynote talks. Charlie is a highly sought-after keynote speaker who helps leaders rethink how they approach challenges in their personal and professional lives, break free from limitations, and build confident teams.
