Chandler, I am absolutely thrilled to hear you are willing to join the TEC (The Executive Connection) speaker circuit! What an honour and good fortune for WA chairs and members especially. The way you couple technology with their personal storytelling to create thought provoking discussion was new and had a high impact. I truly believe TEC is extremely fortunate to have you join us as an “expert resource”. Can't wait until our paths cross again.

Keynotes

Keynote by Chandler Comerford:

One Decision Can Change Your Life

Description: During this talk I speak about the dangers of cognitive bias and the power of choice through the lens of a SEAL mission that went wrong in Afghanistan. This talk is aimed at providing participants with insight into how they can make effective choices when faced with tough decisions. 

From NASA engineers to Everest climbers, we are all subject to errors of logic.  This talk provides participants with insight into how they unwittingly take short cuts and how they might prevent putting themselves and their workmates at risk.

You are capable of more than you think…

Through vivid storytelling and lessons forged in one of the world’s most demanding environments, this keynote demonstrates how these principles apply far beyond the battlefield. Chandler connects the mental toughness, teamwork, and discipline of Navy SEALs to the everyday challenges of leadership, resilience, and performance in business.

Engaging and practical, this keynote helps participants recognize their untapped potential, strengthen collaboration, and build the mindset required to perform under pressure. Chandler’s message is clear and empowering: you are capable of far more than you think, when you lead with purpose, trust, and commitment.
