Pursue success with Blind Ambition

We are delighted to announce that Kidscreen Summit 2025 will open with an inspiring keynote presentation from award-winning business leader and author Chad E. Foster, sponsored by our friends at the Canada Media Fund. Chad’s personal story of going blind at the age of 21 underpins a powerful message about embracing obstacles as opportunities.

When most people were preparing for the adventure of adult life, Chad was watching the world he grew up with fade to black. But that didn’t stop him from becoming the first blind executive to graduate from Harvard Business School’s leadership program and from creating the world’s first customer relationship software for the visually-impaired, something that Oracle said couldn’t be done.

Turning adversity into advantage, Chad went on to thrive at Fortune 500 companies, directing financial strategies that resulted in billions in revenue, industry-leading growth and best-in class margins despite hyper-competitive market conditions.

Now Chad is on a mission to teach his overcomer mindset to other leaders and companies around the world. The current rate of change is eroding people’s resilience, grit and commitment, leading to higher levels of anxiety, burnout and attrition. This has created chronic organizational underperformance that affects internal productivity, as well as the value that businesses are able to provide to their customers. As a result, many companies are falling behind and missing out on massive opportunities created by so much disruption.

Most thought leaders on resilience and change offer platitudes that create zero sustained impact on people’s behavior. Due to Chad’s firsthand experience with personal difficulty and building enterprise value, he understands the anatomy of resilience at a practical level, and has developed a set of tried-and-true tools that empower people to emerge from setbacks stronger, more agile and resolute to succeed.

Join us at Kidscreen Summit for this unique experience designed to give you a roadmap for overcoming obstacles and achieving the impossible in your own career.
