What Makes Chad Different?
Today is officially the slowest pace of change you’ll experience for the rest of your life. To keep up, organizations need to ignite resilience, accountability, and innovation—turning market volatility into customer value.
Resilience is more than a buzzword; it’s a set of learned behaviors. After going blind at 21, Chad built software Oracle said was “impossible;” led strategies that created billions in revenue, thousands of jobs, and industry-leading margins; became the first blind exec to graduate Harvard’s leadership program—even skiing black diamonds and grappling with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu fighters… all with his eyes closed.
Beyond feel-good fluff, Chad provides a fire-tested framework that breaks down the anatomy of resilience—empowering people to bounce back stronger, sleeker, and resolute to succeed. From Fortune 500 stages to global leadership summits, he has shared the stage with icons like Adam Grant and Daymond John—not just inspiring, but driving measurable momentum. After one keynote, a client reported 40% YoY revenue growth, calling it “unlike anything we’ve seen from a guest speaker.”
Chad connects inspiration to implementation™, equipping teams to shift mindsets, rewrite their stories, and turn obstacles into opportunities. Because comfort kills growth and innovation, Chad shows teams how to embrace discomfort and transform setbacks into springboards for success.
