Listen "Ep 117, Utilizing Conflict"
Episode Synopsis
🎙This week on Conflict Managed we welcome Chad Brown, founder and executive coach and business owner.
Join us as we discuss:
⚒Normalizing failure
➗Solving problems for humans
😳The half-life of an emotion
⚡Holding higher conversations than fear
💼Work/life integration
Chad Brown is a leadership engagement expert. He coaches founders and executives in the art and science of leadership for themselves, their teams, and clients to create new, unprecedented results and experience fulfillment in their work.
Chad founded a media production studio called Shade Tree Films in 2008 that has serviced global companies such as Volkswagen, Target, and Pixar Animation Studios.
This is where his love and passion for leadership and causing results through others was ignited. He sold that company in 2021.
Chad thrives in extreme environments and difficult conversations. Over the last 7 years, Chad has trained and developed leaders at globally recognized brands like Lulu Lemon and Ironclad Document Services along with many burgeoning start-ups.
When he is not engaging in meaningful conversations with leaders, you will find (or won't be able to find) Chad on a wild adventure in the mountains with his family. He resides at the foot of the Rocky Mountains in Orem, Utah with his wife Katie and three children Addison, Kenya, and Milo.
Conflict Managed is produced by Third Party Workplace Conflict Restoration Services and hosted by Merry Brown.
