Chad Bechtel, Ph.D., M.B.A., Esq., C.P.A.*

Professional Expert.

An expert in what? We'll both find out in the meeting.

For a one-time donation I may join your meeting and say anything you want. Every fact, figure and study gets made up on the spot.

*None of these are real. Nothing I say is true. No promises or guarantees of anything at any time.

Selected engagements

Past results are not a guarantee of anything. Neither are future ones. Neither is this sentence.

Data presentation"As you can see." They couldn't. There's no labels. The CFO took a picture of it.
Chad, wide-eyed, pointing at a circle in the middle of a whiteboard full of arrows and boxes, a potted plant on a little table in the corner.
StrategyThis is your whole go-to-market. The plant is Legal.

Wigs and outfits"I have here the findin's." It's blank. Three vice presidents apologized.

Camera onI stood up on purpose. It's called executive presence.

SongThe Q4 forecast, in D minor. Everybody left. That was the assignment.

The rage quit"I've been meanin' to tell y'all this since I got here twelve minutes ago."

CleanupYes, I made this mess. Yes, that's extra. No, I don't see the problem.

What I bring to the table

Facts, on demand

Need to prove somethin'? Disprove it? Both, in the same meeting? "Actually, the data on that shifted in March." What data? Which March? Nobody's ever gonna ask, 'cause I said it slow.

Psychological warfare

I'll call your boss Brenda. His name is Kevin. "My name's Kevin." "Not in this market it isn't, Brenda." By minute twenty, nobody knows who works there. That's when I ask for the budget.

People who don't exist

"As I told Marcus at the Geneva summit." "Tell that to Dr. Okafor's team." "Wasn't that Ted's whole thing, before the incident?" Everybody nods. Somebody says they know Ted.

Fake follow-ups, forever

Afterward I'll send a follow-up email citin' action items nobody agreed to, then schedule a meetin' and push it back. And again. By next fall it's a recurring invite for no one, and you never have to talk to any of those people again.

The rage quit

Leavin' your company gracefully? Disgracefully? I'll get you out either way. I give the speech, I drop the mic, you click Leave Meeting. HR'll need a whole new form.

Spice for boring boardrooms

Wigs. Silly outfits. A suit and tie, if you want to really frighten 'em. I'll sing, by request. Nobody has ever requested it twice.

Extras

Camera on or camera off is free, your call. Same goes for which platform. Skype's fine too. I'll be the only one there, but I've been told that's the point.

The fine print, which is real

Nothing I say is true. Some rooms I won't sit in.
  • Nothing I say is true. None of the data, facts or names are factual. It's all made up on the spot. Nothing I say is to be trusted.
  • No promises or guarantees of anything at any time.
  • Some rooms I won't sit in. No investors, lenders, auditors, regulators, courts, or customers decidin' whether to buy somethin'. Nobody's puttin' real money or a sworn statement on my numbers. It's a bit, and I'd like to stay out of the kind of room with a stenographer.
  • I don't pick on anybody for who they are. Wrong names, yes. Anything cruel about somebody's race, religion, gender, health or the like, no. I'll leave the meetin' first.
  • You've got to be allowed to bring me in. It's your meetin' or you've got a seat at it. Anybody recordin' tells everybody.
  • Your job is your job. I can drop a mic. What happens to your career after that's on you, and I'll be real sorry, Brenda.
  • No refunds. Everything's a Zelle donation. I confirm every bookin' myself, if I'm doin' it.

How you pay: Zelle

Zelle donation. No refunds. No real invoice.
  • Zelle only, to chadbechtel225@gmail.com. Put your first name in the memo.
  • I won't send an invoice. If I do, it's fake, and it won't be for the amount you actually paid, if you actually paid.
  • It's all a donation. Donations are appreciated, because my time and services may or may not be real.
  • No refunds. Zelle doesn't do take-backs and neither do I. This part's no joke: it's real money, so only send what you're fine never seein' again.
