Chad M Brignac

Chad M. Brignac believes the measure of leadership isn’t what you build—it’s who you become, and who you uplift along the way. With more than three decades of experience in the construction industry, leading high-stakes projects and complex teams, Chad knows firsthand that outward success can come at the cost of internal misalignment. For him, the real transformation began not in the boardroom, but in a deeply personal wake-up call that almost cost him his family. That moment reshaped how he lives, leads, and helps others.

As a transformationist, Chad helps leaders uncover blind spots, reconnect with their core values, and lead with emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and compassion. As co-author of Blend Don’t Break, a book written with his wife to guide blended families, Chad unearthed a deeper framework for change—one that applies far beyond family life. His approach resonates with entrepreneurs, executives, and faith-led professionals who are ready to lead more intentionally, both at work and at home.

Chad’s background as a founding member of the John Maxwell Team has sharpened his ability to coach not just for performance, but for purpose. He doesn’t promise to transform you—he helps you position yourself for transformation. Through small internal shifts, he believes, people can experience real, lasting outcomes.

As a podcast guest, Chad brings depth, vulnerability, and practical wisdom. Whether he’s talking about leadership blind spots, the toll of prioritizing profit over people, or how to lead yourself before leading others, Chad invites listeners into a conversation that feels personal—and potentially life-changing.
