Leaders Are Not Born, They're
BUILT.
Leadership Development and Personal Excellence.
Imagine seeing yourself a few years from now—your net worth grew, but you haven’t. You’re still the same exact person.
We often think we’re making progress, but the truth is, you're not much different than you were a few years ago.
I’m not offering anything complex. My approach starts with an honest look at who you are and how you’re living your life, and then challenges you to author your next expression—a reality of a life worth living.
Entrepreneur - Investor - Thought Leader
25 years experience as a Founder and CEO, leading award winning teams in various industries. My entrepreneurial journey started while going to Ohio State, where I launched my first company. After 25 successful years, I sold the business so I could focus on my passion—Leadership Development.
Today, I work with a few select clients committed to building themselves and becoming Built to Lead. I also launched an online leadership development app for our community, enabling us to grow, build, and transform together.
As a lead journalist at Authority Magazine, I interview executives and share their insights on leadership. Additionally, I serve as the strategic advisor for our thought leader incubator program and recently launched an online community connecting contributors, publicists, and executives worldwide within the Authority Magazine network.
ABOUT Y.O.U.
A Founder, CEO, President, or top executive in a small to mid-size private company, leading a team and responsible for its success. You understand how much much of an impact personal and professional development can have on your company’s performance.
You're a high performer—your achievements speak for themselves. As your company and team continue to grow, bigger challenges will test you. You value hearing the truth, but rarely get it from those around you. You're passionate, driven, and know you're capable of so much more—but not if you go about it alone. You’re ready to work with someone experienced, who will challenge you, hold you accountable, and help reveal things you can't see yet, guiding you and transforming your vision into your next expression.
“Chad has an infectious smile that comes from a genuine, giving heart. He is a believer in the deepest sense of the word. He will out hustle everyone around him and come up with more ideas that can possibly be implemented. Chad is a man of his word. If you engage with him, you better lace up your shoes and get ready to go after it. You and he will never be the same".
Chet Scott, Founder Built to Lead
Most Leadership Programs TEACH Leadership.
At Built to Lead, we don't TEACH, We BUILD.

I was on day 87 using my Kindle and then joined the community and started back on day one. The difference was like going from black and white to color TV. You've done a fantastic job explaining with the melody lines!
The Builder's Journey
A Client on a Builder's Journey
Why?
Anxiety, stress, and burnout are higher than ever. Being overwhelmed and distracted by social media, materialism, and the daily grind has us working "all the time", yet still feeling empty.
How?
Chasing what's urgent instead of investing in what really matters has consequences—Becoming Built to Lead requires focus, clarity, passion and purpose.
What?
Time flies, and you suddenly find yourself wondering where it all went. Real transformation starts by looking inward—getting clear on what you believe, who you are, and how you want to live.
I watch a lot of leaders as they engage with their teams. Working with Chad was great. He built a strong, engaged, and highly functional leadership team. As they implemented EOS, I watched Chad make deliberate decisions that allowed him to elevate into his role as a visionary. This transition freed him up to start new ventures. I often refer new clients to work with Chad because I know he'll provide value."
-Alex Freytag, Entrepreneur and EOS Implementor.
I work one-on-one with a select group of individuals in weekly, customized practices. Together, we focus on building a personalized path to accelerate your growth and transform your leadership.
UPDATE AS OF OCTOBER 15th 2024:
I currently have only one spot left for new clients
If I hadn't been part of it myself, I would not have believed how Chad transformed his entire company into a rock-solid team of leaders who would run through walls for each other. I worked with Chad for 2 years and watched his team build trust and grow Anyone who was part of it will tell you, Chad is like no other coach, and Built to Lead is like no other leadership program.
Daniel Steinberg, Entrepreneur
Chad is someone that I deeply admire. His commitment to making a difference in people’s lives coupled with his passion and discipline is incredibly motivating to be around. He’s someone I trust implicitly and can always turn to for guidance and support.
