Chad Porter, Inspiring A Better You.

Keynotes. Training. Coaching.

Experience how a young boy overcomes a horrific tragedy to not only survive but to defy all odds and turn, what most would find insurmountable, into a life of inspiring people across the globe for over 20 years. I have been called to train, keynote, coach, and motivate individuals, corporate conferences, and businesses around me to improve themselves and those around them. Together, we’ve produced measurable results and my story has left a lasting impression on hundreds of thousands of people.

I’ve worked with CEO’s and executives on improving their business by encouraging their employees. I’ve spoken to MLB, NFL, and college athletes on the premise of being a team player and unlocking leadership skillsets that are inside all of us and fighting through what appears at the time as insurmountable.

From conferences, churches, schools, small businesses, and community organizations to the Fortune 500, people in all walks of life are inspired by my message. I help groups of all sizes, from small conference workshops to large venue conferences.

From high profile clients to locally owned and operated co-ops, it doesn’t matter. Everyone faces obstacles in life. I am excited to be able to share my story and teach others how to be successful in life.

Chad was absolutely amazing! We had 500+ people at our National Sales Conference in Jacksonville, FL and he did not disappoint! He was without question the hit of the conference. I still have numerous franchisees telling me how much they loved Chad Porter. I have never before heard a speaker that can make you laugh at one moment, tear up 30 seconds later and then laugh again almost immediately. Chad’s message was exactly what our company needed to hear! I would highly recommend having Chad Porter speak to any group – we certainly look forward to having him speak to us again!
