“[Chad is] rooted in social justice and equity and believes whole-heartedly in viewing people through a lens of strength and opportunity as opposed to looking for deficits. And, equally important, he's approachable and relatable.”

Teron Buford
Director of Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging

“Chad's ability and enthusiasm for helping people grow in their confidence and skills is something I had not experienced from a leader before. It's a rare and valuable thing to have a leader invested in you as a person beyond what you bring to the job.

As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I feel like Chad does an exceptional job of building a safe and inclusive team environment where not only myself, but for all our diverse team members. It really feels like we can all be confident in bringing and sharing our unique selves and viewpoints to team discussions and collaborative work.”

“…I can tell you that Chad is the most transparent, generous and fun to talk to person out there. I felt a sense of full authenticity from the moment we connected. And sharing a first name had nothing to do with it either.”

“Chad is, hands down, one of the best leaders I’ve had the pleasure of working with. Coming from academic and education spaces, I’ve dealt with quite a few members of leadership and professional development coaches that care little about personal growth and individuals, largely focusing on company gains and goals. But Chad gets it; he knows that the growth of individual contributors will not only help that individual but also the company at large—and that’s a rare strength.

Chad truly helped me find direction in a role that was incessantly changing, encouraging me to grow professionally in skills I wanted to improve upon and cheerleading me to take on projects that would benefit both the company and my own development. With his planning, an aimless trajectory felt so much more purposeful. He is charismatic, thoughtful, and good at balancing people and teams.”

“Chad pushed and encouraged me to go outside of my comfort zone and take on greater leadership within my department. With his guidance, my confidence flourished. Chad advocated on my behalf, leading to a recent promotion. Chad Henderson's commitment to his team's success has made a profound impact on my career trajectory.”

“Working with Chad was essential to my career growth and was foundational to my success in educational leadership. He helped me set realistic expectations and identify opportunities for growth, helping me establish a growth mindset. Chad brought an equity mindset to his coaching in which he consider my social identities actively in his guidance. This was essential as a woman of color in my field and result in a positive experience with a coach that understood the real impact of societal barriers. His positivity, energy, and desire to help people make him an excellent coach!”

Janie Sacco, Ed.D.
Assistant Director of Occupancy Management

“As someone who was shifting from a career in academia to a corporate role, I have been grateful to have Chad as a leader through that transition process. His positive energy and enthusiasm helped me feel confident in my new career, and his level-headed guidance has allowed me to advance professionally in a relatively short amount of time.

Chad was also an aggressive advocate for me throughout the interviewing, hiring, and salary negotiation process. With Chad’s coaching, I was able to achieve such an ambitious goal in less than a year at the company.”
