Book Chad Hennings through The Keynote Curators

Biography

In order to attain excellence one must first live a lifestyle of excellence.  Excellence isn’t a destination; it’s an identity. Chad Hennings has lived this message through a nine ­year NFL career and three Super Bowl Championships with the Dallas Cowboys, 45 successful combat missions flying A­10 jets with the Air Force, and as one of the most decorated college football players in NCAA history.  Chad has taken this message across the world at the invitation of some of the most distinguished executive audiences ranging from American Airlines to Bank of America, General Motors to Citigroup, and a host of U.S. Governmental agencies.  He has also been a philanthropic leader in the Dallas­ Ft Worth area as a member of the board of directors of Christian Community Action, an organization that provides assistance to at­risk families, and the establishment of Wingmen Ministries.

Chad challenges audiences to dare to be excellent and inspires businesses to create cultures of excellence.  People and organizations don’t do great things to become great; great people and organizations do great things. Chad credits his post NFL career success to concepts he espouses on striving to live a life of excellence.

Chad and his wife, Tammy, have a son, Chase, and a daughter, Brenna. They currently reside in Flower Mound, Texas.

Chad did a tremendous job keynoting our International Roundtable. The combination of “fighter jock” and “Super Bowl jock” was guaranteed red meat for our audience. Before word one, I knew they would love Chad. His message about leadership, character, and vision was superb, inspirational, and delivered in an entertaining manner. It was much deeper than most keynote bubblegum messages. Moreover, it’s apparent that Chad lives his beliefs. I would highly recommend him as an intelligent, articulate speaker with a powerful message.
