Discuss the Right ExperienceWhy Chad
Built under real pressure. Shaped for your room.
Chad brings more than leadership theory to the stage.
His experience has included building, leading, failing, rebuilding, mentoring, being mentored, and learning what it takes to develop people when the stakes are real.
He also speaks honestly about failure, pride, faith, marriage restoration, accountability, and the people who helped him rebuild.
That lets Chad connect with the leader responsible for the organization and the person behind the title.
