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.

Virtual Keynotes Are Here to Stay: How to Make Them Matter
Let’s be honest - event planning has never been easy, but right now? It’s a strategic high-wire act.
You’re juggling global teams, rising costs, unpredictable policy shifts, and a supply chain map that feels like it changes every week. Geopolitical tension? Check. Trade war curveballs? Constant. And every tariff flip-flop sends entire industries sprinting to accelerate shipments before the next rule kicks in.
Meanwhile, you’ve still got to motivate your people. Align your teams. Spark innovation. And do it all under budget - in a market that can melt down over night.
That’s where virtual keynotes come in - not as a consolation prize, but as a competitive edge.
VIRTUAL, BUT NOT DIMINISHED
In a world where in-person isn’t always practical - or even possible - virtual experiences aren’t going away. They’re evolving. Companies are doubling down on virtual conferences to connect distributed global teams, keep costs down, and offer flexible access to high-impact content that doesn’t require a boarding pass.
But here’s the deal: if the message doesn’t land, none of that matters. That’s why I use a full-production, Netflix-approved 4K studio - to make sure the message doesn’t just land, it hits hard enough to cause a shift, inspire action, and burn excuses to the ground–handing your audience the match. You get cinematic quality. Zero tech issues. And an experience that feels like a broadcast instead of a Zoom call.
REAL STORIES. REAL IMPACT.
You can’t inspire people with bullet points. You need a story that hits home. And for that, authenticity matters.
When I speak, I entertain, but I also bring the scars and the strategies. I’ve gone from blind and broke at 21, to billion-dollar deals, to black diamond ski slopes, to becoming the top-grossing speaker for the world’s second-largest bureau. I don’t just talk about change - I’ve lived it.
And that’s the key. Your audience doesn’t want another high-level talk. They want real talk - stories that make them feel seen, heard, and fired up to take action.
Built-In Flexibility, Without the Stress
Time zones? No problem. Pre-recorded, live, hybrid? Easy. Want it short and powerful, or deep and immersive? Done.
I work with planners like you to fit the format that fits your event. Whether it’s a global all-hands, a leadership summit, or a client-facing virtual conference, I tailor the experience to your audience and your objectives - without the travel costs, scheduling headaches, or last-minute venue drama.
Here’s What You Can Expect:
- 🎤 A studio-quality, no-compromise keynote - Filmed in a custom-built virtual stage with 4K cinema cameras, professional lighting, and broadcast-quality audio.
- 📖 A story-first experience - Not a lecture. A transformative story with emotional resonance, business relevance, and actionable takeaways.
- 🧠 Customization that’s actually customized - Your goals. Your audience. Your themes. I seamlessly integrate them into a cohesive message that organically moves people to action.
- 🌍 Global-ready delivery - Flexible for every time zone, scalable for any audience, and built for virtual, hybrid, or on-demand formats.
The Future Isn’t Coming — It’s Here
Virtual keynotes aren’t just a backup plan anymore. They’re how smart organizations stay connected, aligned, and inspired in a world that refuses to sit still. And if you’re betting on resilience, innovation, and high-performance culture - you need messages that move the needle.
Let’s make your next event unforgettable. Reach out and let us show you what’s possible when storytelling meets studio-grade execution.
