Three Professional Letters of Recommendation for Michael Port
To whom it may concern,
I am a special event programmer for the JCC of Manhattan, a 14,000 person community
center. Michael Port has regularly spoken on personal development and business
development issues for us for the past year and a half.
I would like to wholeheartedly and unequivocally recommend Michael as a speaker for
your next event. On all of the basics he gets the highest marks: professionalism,
preparedness, easy to work with, etc. But I’d like mention a few things about Michael as
a person.
The first time I met Michael Port my interest was immediately piqued, I thought, “wow,
this Michael Port, is really something. He is someone to watch. There is something
special about him. He is really going to go places." Well, as it turns out my first gut
reaction was right.
Michael Port is an extraordinary human being with a tremendous amount of energy and
dedication to both doing good in the world and helping others become successful while
he's doing it. He is incredibly bright and is a wiz at assessing a situation and finding
creative ways to engage everyone around him into working to their ultimate potential.
While all of this is amazing and while I respect Michael greatly for all of his
accomplishments, to me the most valuable assets Michael brings to his Speaking is his
kindness and his great love and compassion for people. I love to watch him captivate an
audience with positive reinforcement, humanity, humility and passion. The passion that
he brings to his presentations has been unmatched in my experience. He is constantly
giving his audiences valuable tools to help them move forward both personally and
professionally.

To whom it may concern:
Michael Port is an incredible speaker. His workshops are inspiring and motivating; not
just because of his captivating presence, but also because of the incredible information he
provides. He exudes confidence, strength, and determination that is easy for audience
members to feed off of, making them feel as if they can do anything, and yet at the same
time, Michael is very warm, personable and down to earth. He is the perfect blend of
speaker, one who commands attention with poise and connects with the audience through
lighthearted humor and sensitivity. He receives a standing ovation at the end of each and
every speech, as well he should.
I would highly recommend Michael to speak at any engagement, as it is quite something
to behold!

Re: Michael Port Keynote Recommendation
Dear Sir/Madam,
Michael Port was the star of The First Annual Project Café held this June (2004) at
Marble Collegiate Church, New York City. We can't stop talking about him. His
keynote presentation set us on fire. He is fresh, original and innovative. Not only
was his presentation clear and fast paced but he managed to immediately get in
relationship with an unknown audience and create an experience that set the stage
for a full day of open and highly creative work. I attribute the success of our first
Project Cafe to Michael Port.
We want him back!
