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.

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.

The timing of Chad's message about overcoming obstacles, perseverance, and dealing with life's challenges was perfect as we bring students back to begin a new school year.
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!

Love you Richard! So glad we were able to meet today.
Chad just spoke at a conference I am attending here in Wilmington. His message truly resonated with me. He is a great speaker, he had everyones attention no one on phones while he spoke except for the exercise he had us do.

I heard Chad P. speak for the first time at Greensboro College on 4/4/16 and brought my 15 year old son to hear his powerful story as well. It is awesome to hear the message he is sending to students and teams across the country. Every person should walk away feeling more inspired and motivated to be the best that they can be in life and encouraged that they can overcome any obstacle life may bring.
Athlete/Sports Speaker

Athlete/Sports Speaker
Chad has quite an inspiring and motivational story. He spoke to the Independent Insurance Agents of Horry/Georgetown Counties and he certainly held everyone's attention. We have had many comments about how everyone really enjoyed him as a speaker. He left us with realizing the importance of each and every day and how quickly life can change.
Motivational Speaker
The nurses enjoyed the inspirational keynote very much at our Leadership Conference! What a great way to end a day full of regulatory sessions - to wind the day up with a real-life moving story of personal challenge that they could reflect on in the weeks ahead!
Motivational Speaker
Chad, I had the privilege of being in the audience at a recent conference of the Association for Home & Hospice Care of North Carolina. I as well as my tablemates were stunned with your message. Thank you so much!
Motivational Speaker
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."

Chad has quite a story to tell. It is a heartbreaking story but he has a good sense of humor and a great message. Chad spoke to a professional women's networking group I attend and I was truly inspired to hear his story and humbled to know him as a person.
Motivational Speaker
Chad spoke at my women's business networking group last night. His story was very inspirational and motivational! Pay it forward and see what happens in your life.
Motivational Speaker
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.
