Chad J. Willett (NSA, MA, SAG-AFTRA) is a renowned innovation and leadership speaker, founder of Broadway2LA Acting Studio, TEDx presenter, two-time author ("Smash the Box" and "Rip Off the Rearview Mirror"). He combines his acting background with his corporate experience to deliver one-of-a-kind keynote addresses and workshops that challenge leaders to think differently, break away from the past, and lead boldly into what’s next.
Chad created Leadership from the Stage, a leadership and innovation framework built around four pillars: Vision, Breaking the Script, Strategy, and Execution. His work helps leaders step beyond familiar ways of thinking, challenge what’s always been done, and see new possibilities—giving them the mindset and tools to write a new script, lead with confidence, and make the future happen.
His clients include McDonald’s, Nationwide Insurance, Johns Hopkins University, Raytheon, Bayer, and the Better Business Bureau. As an actor, Chad appeared in the Netflix feature film Shirley alongside Oscar-winning actress Regina King, and in She’s All That with Paul Walker.
Finally, Chad is an active member of the Church of the Resurrection in New Albany, Ohio, and has volunteered with Big Brothers Big Sisters and an adult reading literacy program. He lives in Ohio with his wife, Erika, and their daughter, Scarlett.
