Meet the Coach Behind the Strategy

Chanda Coston

Business Strategist • Speaker • CEO of Chanda Co. • U.S. Navy Veteran

I help entrepreneurs in the third quarter of life bring their dreams to life and build profitable, purpose-aligned businesses with clarity and confidence.

I’m Chanda Coston — and I know what it feels like to rebuild from scratch.

A U.S. Navy Veteran with over 20 years of leadership and project-management experience, I’ve led large-scale government and logistics operations, managed high-stakes deployments, and developed systems that have saved the U.S. Navy over $24M. But long before that, I rebuilt my life from profound hardship — including poverty, early motherhood, domestic abuse, and a life-changing turning point in young adulthood that forced me to choose who I would become.

Those experiences became the foundation of my work today.
I transformed my story into a blueprint for clarity, strategy, and sustainable success — and now I help women do the same. My clients are high-capacity, purpose-driven women (especially 40+) who are ready for more, but exhausted by confusion, overwhelm, or lack of structure. Together, we replace chaos with clarity, realign purpose with strategy, and build businesses that honor their faith, capacity, and legacy.

Through my signature Build to Blueprint™ accelerator, the Momentum Mastery Collective, and my clarity-driven frameworks, I guide entrepreneurs to move from guesswork to growth — and from ambition to predictable, purpose-aligned results.
