The most inspirational speech I've ever heard.

Words can not express what I took from Mr. Porters speech. The things he spoke on will touch and reach each and every person that hears it. I would highly recommend having him speak at any function you may be holding. He's a God send and a true inspiration to everyone.

Laughing one minute and in tears the next.

Thank you Chad Porter for being our keynote speaker at our 2015 North Carolina Recreational Therapy annual conference. Your message was both inspirational and motivational and encouraged me to continue to live out my passion to provide services with excellence no matter what setting I work. You are definitely a person that has overcome a lot of adversity and your authenticity is to be applauded! Blessings, peace and grace to you as you continue to impact the lives you encounter.

Incredible Motivational Speaker

Chad Porter spoke at our quarterly meeting and to say he motivated me is an understatement. The adversity that he has overcome is unbelievable. He speaks with humor and humility, but with a sense of purpose. I would recommend him as a motivational speaker in any industry. His story will resonate across all spectrums - from sales professionals to students. Thank you Chad for sharing your story! I hope to hear him speak again!

Chad Made me Humble

In 1994 My mother died, I was 30 years old, no one could get me to release the Anger I had inside. After hearing Chad at a Company Sponsored Event on 29 June 2018.
I'm a Humble and Softer Man.

TESTIMONIES:

The Head Coach for the Buffalo Bills, Sean McDermott, is quoted
saying, “Extremely motivating! Chad truly galvanized our team
and is one of the best speakers we’ve ever had.”

"I have heard motivational speakers throughout my career in professional baseball and I can tell you that Chad Porter ranks among the top of inspirational messages that I have heard. I believe in giving back and being a positive influence... Chad lives this everyday through his speaking. I would highly recommend that you hire his services for any engagement." Trot Nixon, Boston Red Sox/World Champion

"Chad took what was a tragedy and turned it into something amazing. He's one of those speakers that will keep you on the edge of your seat and you don't want him to stop. He's an awesome speaker and you will never regret hiring him to speak for your event or corporate team." Tim Worley, Former Pittsburg Steeler & SEC/UGA Legend

What a fantastic testimony Chad shared with our youth at Nakina Baptist Church. We welcomed Chad Porter to our pulpit for our Youth Sunday where he delivered a message that has influenced our youth, children and adults. Indeed we may think that we have our lives planned out but God has a plan for each of us that is so much more meaningful and powerful than we could ever imagine. Chad is more than a "speaker", he is more than just a motivator, he is a man that God is using in a wonderful way. He exemplifies the verse in Romans 8...."We know that all things work together for the good of those who love God; those who are called according to His purpose."

Life Changing, Inspiring, Want to hear it again!
The first time I heard Chad speak it was at a fundraiser. As I listened, I kept thinking "Others have got to hear this!" I especially thought of the youth at my church. How many times in life do we just go through the motions without thought of how things can change so quickly?!
So I invited Chad to come speak at church. It was equally powerful! You could hear a pin drop as he spoke about the details of his accident, how it affected his life, and how he decided not to let a little think like losing a leg keep him from excelling and making a difference. Thank you, Chad, for sharing your story. I am glad I heard it twice!

Thank you so much for your guidance and mentorship. As a small business owner, it is imperative to have Mr Porter help and guide you. If you need motivation and don't know where to find it, quit looking. Chad Porter is your guy! Above all that, he is a very giving person. He stepped up for a fundraising event I was having for a dear friend with cancer and knocked it out of the park.

"Keep doing this. You can inspire so many people. Proud of you!"

"Just wanted to let you know that he was EXCELLENT. I was very impressed with him. All of the students should hear his story. Thank you for doing this."

"Chad Porter is such a fantastic person. He delivers a message of hope and determination that makes a huge impression in such a positive way. Noble students and staff were talking about Chad's story all day long. There is no doubt that his words and personal experience will be remembered for a lifetime. Very powerful and uplifting! Thanks for being a great role model and showing all of us how to live life to the fullest."

"My kids were so engaged. You are a great speaker. You were doing something you loved when tragedy hit, and you handled it with such perseverance. Your talk is opposite of the old speeches where the drug addict becomes hero. You are always the hero! All kids should hear your story."

"Highly recommended!!!! The kids are still talking about it."

"What a great role model!"

"I've known Chad for years...he truly is an inspiration! Such a warm personality and a positive person...it's an honor to know him!"

"Your response to the accident has inspired me for years. A lot of us wouldn't have handled life with such grace . I'm very proud."

"Your story is amazing and you are such an inspiration!"

"You are amazing and we all admire your courage and bravery! You rock in my book!!!"

"You inspired people you've never known. I have friends who still ask about you."

"You are a brave soul my friend and I admire you for all you have overcome!"

"I can still hear the sounds and see the events so clearly. What an amazing boy you were then and an inspiring man you have become today!"

"You have amazed us through the years and have been an inspiration to so many! Praying for you and all who were affected by that day so long ago!"

"So proud of you and the awesome man, husband, father you have become. God is good all the time...."

"I've bragged about you my whole adult life. Your story from the day of your accident has been awe inspiring."

"Keep doing good work and making a difference in the lives of others, its how the world will change, for the better."
