HOME & BUILDING PRODUCTS KEYNOTE SPEAKER
Disruption Is Pouring In - Are You Built To Last?
There’s certainly no shortage of challenges in the marketplace today. We went from COVID chaos to explosive inflation, trade war whiplash, and market meltdowns. On top of that, AI is coming for your comfort zone. The scary part? This is the slowest rate of change you’ll experience for the rest of your life. Let that sink in.
In addition to all that, this industry doesn’t wait for comfort. It demands strength, speed, and smarts.
You’re facing:
- Soaring material costs.
- Supply chain nightmares.
- A market demanding sustainable, smart solutions.
- And talent walking out the door before lunch.
As a leadership keynote speaker, I’ve worked with brands like Trane, Owens Corning, and Acuity Brands - helping their teams turn volatility into vision, and chaos into control. You’re not selling products - you’re building the future of how we live, work, and connect.
1. SUPPLY CHAINS ARE A MESS - FIX WHAT YOU CAN, FAST.
63% of construction firms report project delays due to supply chain issues.
👉 Associated General Contractors of America
CHOOSE YOUR RESPONSE:
- Get local. Diversify vendors.
- Use tech to track, predict, and pivot.
- Control what you can - or get controlled by chaos.
2. COSTS ARE UP - VALUE HAS TO GO UP FASTER.
Construction material prices jumped 0.7% month-over-month in March, with a 1.8% increase from the previous year.
👉 Yield PRO
TELL YOURSELF THE RIGHT STORIES TO SELL DIFFERENT:
- Stop talking specs - sell outcomes.
- Help customers see long-term savings through efficiency, durability, and sustainability.
3. GREEN BUILDING ISN’T OPTIONAL - IT’S THE STANDARD.
34% of home builders classify over half their projects as green, up from 33% in 2019.
👉 Eye On Housing
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF DISADVANTAGES:
- Own the energy-efficient, low-waste narrative.
- Train teams to speak sustainability fluently.
4. SMART BUILDINGS NEED SMART SALES.
The global smart building market is projected to reach $121.6 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 10.9%.
👉 MarketsandMarkets
GET COMFORTABLE WITH DISCOMFORT AND ADAPT FAST:
- Connect products to automation, IoT, and AI-driven systems.
- Help customers future-proof their builds.
5. TALENT IS SHORT - AND YOUR TEAM IS TIRED.
94% of construction firms report difficulty finding workers, with labor shortages causing more project delays than supply chain issues.

VISUALIZE YOUR GREATNESS:
- Empower your team with clarity, purpose, and tools.
- Focus on resilience, not just grit.
6. COMPLEXITY KILLS SPEED - SIMPLIFY TO SCALE.
You can’t afford confusion on the jobsite or in the boardroom.
STREAMLINE:
- Simplify like a savage.
- Break silos - align ops, sales, and tech.
- Fewer moving parts = faster deals, better builds.
THE REAL THREAT?
BUILDING LIKE IT’S 2019.
- The world’s changed.
- Customers expect more.
- Disruption isn’t stopping. Neither can you.

Business Keynote Speaker
Change doesn’t knock. It kicks the door in. Disruption? It’s not coming — it’s here. Explosive inflation, market meltdowns, trade war whiplash — it’s all reshaped how we sell, how we lead, how we live. The question is: how do you win in a world like that?
I’m Chad E. Foster — a business keynote speaker who has led teams through billion-dollar deals, built software Silicon Valley said was impossible, and delivered leadership keynotes for powerhouses like Google and Salesforce — all after going blind at 21. I know what it takes to adapt, thrive, and dominate in uncertainty.
I don’t give your team ideas. I break down the anatomy of resilience using my Blind Ambition Framework™ and give them the playbook to power their performance.
ADAPT OR DIE? NO.
ADAPT AND THRIVE.
Let’s get real — tools and tech won’t save your business. Your people will. But only if you give them the mindset, the culture, and the drive to convert chaos into commission.
1. REINVENT YOURSELF, REINVENT YOUR BUSINESS
The world changed. Did you? Because what worked last year won’t cut it now.
- Reinvention isn’t optional. It’s survival.
- Mindset first. Process and tech support the people.
Proof: Companies that prioritize adaptability are better positioned to absorb shocks and transform them into opportunities.
👉 McKinsey
2. TURN ADVERSITY INTO ADVANTAGE
Remember Best Buy? They turned brick-and-mortar “liabilities” into the weapon that outflanked the customer experience of online giants. That’s how you “take advantage of your disadvantages.”
- Your “disadvantage” is just a blind spot away from being your edge.
- Change the lens. Change the game.
3. CREATE A CULTURE BUILT FOR CHANGE
Your people won’t rise to a challenge they’re not prepared for. Culture eats disruption for breakfast — if it’s built right.
- Resilient culture = resilient business.
- Empower every individual to think, act, and lead through uncertainty.
4. MINDSET DRIVES EVERYTHING
Mindset isn’t fluff. It’s the engine of every action, every result.
- Your company is just a reflection of your people’s thinking.
- Shift the way they see change—and take note while your whole organization transforms.
Fact: Teams with a growth mindset culture are more likely to foster innovation and support risk-taking.

THIS ISN’T ABOUT WEATHERING THE STORM.
IT’S ABOUT BECOMING THE STORM.
I don’t just do inspiration. I connect inspiration to implementation ™ and drive transformation. I help businesses stop playing defense and start rewriting the rules. Disruption is here to stay — so let’s own it.
I’ll show your team how to see what others miss, act when others freeze, and win while others wait.
