Recommendation

Chad Foster’s story is one of remarkable courage and determination. Though he lost his vision in college, Foster became the first blind person to graduate from the Harvard Business School Program for Leadership Development. He succeeded in scaling the corporate ladder to become a top finance and sales executive. Foster believes his blindness – which he considers a gift – made him the successful person he is today. Foster’s autobiography offers valuable life lessons about how to overcome personal disadvantages and turn them into competitive strengths.

  • A training at the Leader Dogs for the Blind school proved to be a life-changing experience for Foster.
