Chad Meyer: Leading Beyond Your Best: Insights on Servant Leadership

About Chad Meyer:

Chad Meyer’s faith in Jesus Christ is the foundation that guides every aspect of his life, both personally and professionally. With 30 years of experience in sales and sales leadership, Chad has built and led multiple companies throughout his career. Most notably, he co-founded Sales Xceleration with his business partner, Mark Thacker. The company, which they sold a few years ago, partnered with thousands of B2B organizations around the world, helping them scale in ways that business owners and their leadership teams often couldn’t achieve on their own. On average, these companies experienced 25% growth, collectively managing over a billion dollars through the work of Sales Xceleration’s Advisors.

While the numbers tell an impressive story, what matters most to Chad is how God used this platform for His glory — to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives and to prepare Chad for the next adventure God has in store.

In this episode, Jim and Chad Meyer discuss:

• The founding and impact of Sales Xceleration in the fractional leadership space
• How faith and values created a foundation for business and community impact
• Why tough conversations with business owners matter for real growth
• Chad’s upcoming Silent Lions initiative for leaders and legacy-minded individuals
• How emotions aren’t the enemy of leadership — they’re powerful indicators

Key Takeaways:

• Success isn’t just about revenue, it’s about restoring lives. When business owners regain peace, stay close to family, and build stronger communities, the numbers naturally follow.
• Leadership is as much about managing your own emotions as it is about managing others. Emotional intelligence isn’t weakness; it’s wisdom in motion.
• The people at the top often carry invisible burdens. Chad reminds us how essential it is to speak truth in love, offering owners a safe space for honesty and course correction.
• Your name carries weight. Every leader’s legacy is shaped by how people feel when they hear their name — trust, integrity, compassion, or the opposite.
• Stay centered in your purpose. In tough times, exceptional leaders don’t abandon their values — they lean into them, with clarity, humility, and courage.
