Michael Chachula brings a rare combination to the stage: the credibility of a sitting Fortune-scale CIO, the storytelling of a best-selling author, and the lived resilience of a cancer and COVID survivor with a warrior-spirit, never-quit outlook. Big energy. Bigger substance.
Based on the best-selling book. A candid, entertaining tour of what AI actually changes for mid-market and franchise businesses — where the ROI is real, where the hype is expensive, and the four questions every executive team must answer before spending a dollar. Audiences leave with a framework they can apply Monday morning.
Drawn from the third book in The Chachula Method™ series. An unflinching look at executive responsibility: the decisions no one sees, the loneliness of the seat, and the practices that keep leaders whole. Equal parts confession and playbook — this is the talk leaders tell Michael they needed ten years earlier.
Cancer. COVID. Serious accidents. Michael has survived them all — and led global technology organizations while doing it. This deeply personal, ultimately joyful keynote is about direction, focus, and the discipline of choosing a positive, never-quit outlook when quitting would be easier. Bring tissues; leave with fire.
An interactive executive workshop built on the Four Houses framework — Purpose, People, Process, Platform. Your leadership team leaves with a one-page AI and transformation priority map they built themselves, facilitated by the author of the method. Includes copies of the companion workbook for every participant.
