NOT SMALL ANYMORE: Reflection and instructions on life, meaning, and happiness.

This presentation complements Chad’s book, Break & Untangle: The Freedom to Be You Despite the Inherited Mindsets Holding You Back

In this emotionally charged presentation, Chad will walk the audience through what it’s like to live through a difficult childhood. In Chad’s case it was growing up gay in rural Arkansas. Chad makes his experience resonate by asking the audience to relate to the experience of feeling like an outsider.

Chad will describe how he overcame his obstacles and the subsequent method he developed to thrive. His message will highlight the path toward living a life of meaning and purpose, being comfortable in your own skin, and ultimately create a legacy that will leave the world a better place.

Your audience will learn how to identify which version of them is showing up in the world and making decisions for their life.

Ideal Audience:
People open to expanding their potential by challenging inherited mindsets.

A LIFE OF IMPACT & INFLUENCE: The Source, Creation, and Expression of Leadership

In this presentation, Chad will guide the group through an ontological inquiry into leadership. As a guided group inquiry, the entire presentation is styled as an interactive experience - one where the nature and qualities of leadership are examined from the perspective of how we observe leadership, and how we become what others recognize as leadership.

This presentation is based on Chad’s proprietary framework, the BCVE. Chad teaches that the components of the BCVE (Being, Commitment, Vision, Effort) are what makes leadership occur to others as leadership when they see us.

Your audience will discover a new way to see themselves and how they view their role as a leader.

Ideal Audience:
Experienced and emerging leaders who are eager to step more boldly into their role as a leader. This presentation is well-suited for those who intellectualize.

GETTING UNSTUCK: What to do when what has always worked, no longer works.

In this presentation, Chad will answer the question “What do you do when what has always worked in your life, is no longer working?”

Chad will share his experience with feeling stuck, how he was able to navigate through the feeling, and what he learned along the way. Most notably, Chad will make the distinction for your group about change and transformation and the connection between stuckness and suffering.

Your audience will discover a new way to see how they are experiencing this phase of their life, and Chad will light a path for them to create a new way to see what they are experiencing.

Ideal Audience:
People going through a career or other significant life change who feel like nothing they are doing is getting them where they want to be.

WORKING THE PLAN: Creating Your Mental Wellness Routine

There’s never been a better time to have a discussion about good mental health practices. In this presentation, Chad will present practical tips that your audience can immediately implement in their lives to create a mental health routine.
Chad will draw from his own life experiences and share with your audience his journey of battling depression, anxiety, and feelings of loneliness. He will clearly define what it means to be depressed, or anxious, and how he has managed to make feelings occur less frequently, and become shorter in duration.

Whether they are someone who lives with mental health challenges of their own, or they have someone in their life who does, your audience will glean insights into how to make sense of this part of our human experience.

Ideal Audience:
This presentation is suitable for any group where the human condition is openly discussed.

Testimonials (1)

While we already had great expectations for the event, Chad exceeded them. Chad was incredibly engaging. His content was thoughtful, interesting and relatable whether you are an ally or in the LGBTQ+ community. Chad immediately created a safe space for our network and it was evident our members felt that, as several people opened up on the call and shared their own sensitive truths. Chad’s discussion had the perfect balance between challenging the audience to dig deep and providing supportive guidance. There were so many gems Chad shared throughout the event, but if I have to name one that resonated most with our audience, it would be “the world needs you right now.” On behalf of our network, we are grateful we had the opportunity to connect with Chad.
