About Chad:
I’m a former General Counsel and Law Firm Lawyer, with a passion and purpose to help Lawyers uncover their natural traits + skills so that they are more successful and feel happier in their careers.
This is my story:
Practicing in a national Law Firm, I saw how we could use our natural skills and human connection to drive more successful, impactful and fulfilling careers.
But I didn’t see these ideas being taught or implemented.
So I left BigLaw to travel the world, searching for new ways to tap into our natural characteristics and the power of human bonds to fuel career success.
On my return, I moved in-house, using what I’d learned to create meaningful relationships with business teams and drive their goals forward.
When I became General Counsel of an international portfolio of tech companies, I leveraged my natural skills and the power of relationships to build a thriving Legal team, integrate Legal within the business teams, and implement Legal Technology that revolutionized the company’s operations.
But my passion and purpose kept calling. And that brings us here.
5 Fun Facts about Chad (in his own words):
Failed child actor
Was inspired by Matlock and Columbo as a kid - how did they always catch the criminal?!
Tried to launch a business while in Law School to help athletes get scholarships that didn't go anywhere
Walked away from the Partnership path in a BigLaw to travel around the world for 6 months with no locked in plan when I returned
Walked away from my role as General Counsel of an int'l tech company without a locked in plan
