What Makes Chad Different?
Every organization is struggling with the current velocity of disruption, but what most leaders don’t realize, is that the current rate of change is the slowest it will be for the rest of our lives. Now, more than ever, organizations need to IGNITE people’s RESILIENCE, accountability, and INNOVATION—leading to resilient organizations that create more customer value by adapting and spotting the opportunities created by disruption.
Most people believe resilience is an idea, but it’s really a set of learned behaviors. Chad has spent the last TEN-plus years unpacking the anatomy of resilience — what allowed him to thrive after going blind at 21-years-old. He built software Oracle said was impossible; directed financial strategies that generated billions in revenue, industry-leading margins, and countless jobs; was the first blind executive to graduate Harvard’s leadership program; and became a black diamond downhill skier and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Practitioner — all with his eyes closed. Many thought leaders on resilience and change offer platitudes that create zero sustained impact on people’s behavior. Due to Chad’s firsthand experience with personal transformation while building massive enterprise value, Chad inspires action, ignites accountability, and unlocks potential by breaking down the anatomy of resilience at a practical level — providing tried and tested tools that empower people to emerge from setbacks stronger, sleeker, and resolute to succeed.
Connecting inspiration to implementation™, Chad enables your team to embody the mindsets and beliefs for success, while adopting the narratives and stories that will change the meaning of the challenges they experience. They’ll have the tools to remain comfortable in the face of discomfort, equipping your organization to turn disadvantages into advantages, and your obstacles into opportunities.

WHAT MAKES A GREAT KEYNOTE?
Not just stories. Not just entertainment. It’s about connection, clarity, and calling people out - to step up, think bigger, and get uncomfortable enough to change.
How do I do it? Well, I went totally blind at 21, and I didn’t just adapt - I went from blind and broke to leading billion-dollar deals, building software Oracle said couldn’t be done, and started battletesting myself with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and taking on black diamond slopes with nothing but a guide and grit - all with my eyes closed. As a high-impact sales keynote speaker, leadership keynote speaker, and change keynote speaker, I deliver keynotes to titans like Google, Salesforce, and Fidelity that don’t just inspire - they transform.
1. IMPACTFUL STORYTELLING
I don’t just tell stories - I live them. I take your audience inside the moments that tested me, broke me, and built me.
- This isn’t just about what happened to me - it’s about what’s possible for them.
- They’ll see themselves in my story - and they’ll see a way forward they never saw before.
2. ENTERTAINING DELIVERY
Nobody remembers boring. I bring the laughs, the surprises, the raw emotion - and yeah, the edge.
- If they’re not engaged, they’re not learning.
- I make sure they feel it: the humor, the heart, and the hit-you-in-the-gut truths.
Research backs it up: Emotional engagement significantly boosts retention.
3. DIFFERENTIATED CONTENT
This isn’t recycled motivational junk. I give your people tools they can use - now. Simple, sharp, and straight-up actionable.
- Easy to grasp. Impossible to ignore.
- Designed to spark immediate shifts in mindset and culture.
4. ACCESSIBLE & SCIENCE-BACKED
Everything I teach is rooted in real-world experience and human behavior science. But don’t worry, no lab coats here.
- I speak human, not academic.
- Your audience won’t get a science lesson - they’ll get a masterclass in resilience, accountability, and ownership.
Research Insight: Applying behavioral science can accelerate change adoption.
