AUTHOR & CREATOR - MICHAEL G. GORDON

One of Michael's best qualities is that he's a constant learner. Mike is a professional at his craft, but despite having a big job and the heavy lift of being a father, Michael finds/makes time to do more. 

Another quality I admire is how authentic and genuine Michael is in everything he does. We quickly built a great working relationship together, and that relationship has sustained the test of time over many years despite our careers going in very different directions over time. I'd welcome the opportunity to work with Michael again without hesitation.
 

I had the pleasure of coaching youth soccer alongside Mike over the past couple of years. During this time, I not only witnessed Mike's incredible passion for the sport but also his dedication to developing young athletes and fostering an environment of growth and teamwork.

Mike’s professionalism is evident in everything he does—from his approach to coaching to his interaction with players, parents, and fellow coaches. His ability to motivate and inspire those around him is truly admirable. Mike's a natural leader, effortlessly commanding respect and admiration while making everyone feel valued and encouraged.

His positive attitude, combined with an energetic and approachable personality, creates an atmosphere where both players and fellow coaches thrive. Whether it's during intense training sessions or casual team bonding activities, Mike brings a contagious enthusiasm that elevates the experience for everyone involved. 

I had the pleasure of meeting Michael during a leadership course at Seton Hall ("The Hall") a few years ago, and I remain deeply grateful for both the experience and his influence. The insights, tools, and lessons on leadership and success that he shared continue to shape both my professional and personal life.

Michael played a pivotal role in expanding my perspective, inspiring me to approach life with a smile, an open heart, and renewed self-belief. His guidance has helped me strive to be my best, whether at work or in my personal pursuits.

I can confidently say that Michael would be an invaluable asset to any team or organization. His positivity and dedication truly elevate those around him.    

Professor Gordon is an exceptional educator and mentor whose dedication to student success is truly commendable. During my time at Seton Hall University, I have had the privilege of learning from him in an organizational behavior course abroad, where his profound knowledge and passion for leadership and development significantly enhanced my learning experience.

Professor Gordon possesses a remarkable ability to breakdown complex concepts, making them accessible and engaging. His teaching methods not only convey information effectively but also inspire critical thinking and a genuine interest in the subject matter.

Beyond the classroom, Professor Gordon has been instrumental in guiding my academic and professional development. He provided insightful advice on networking and building a personal brand, connected me with valuable resources, and supported my career aspirations by pointing me in the right direction with the right people for every step of the process.

I wholeheartedly recommend Professor Gordon to any institution or student seeking a dedicated and knowledgeable educator.

 Professor Gordon played a strategic part in my undergraduate journey at Seton Hall University and I was blessed to have him as a teacher. He challenged not only me but his fellow students with inquisitive questions that were very thought-provoking and simply made others around him greater. He was one of the best professors I was fortunate enough to cross paths with and someone I would highly consider if a role were needed to be filled for a team- a true visionary!
 

 I have had the pleasure of working with Mike for many years. He brings an excellent combination of judgment, leadership and creative problem solving skills to the table. He is a tremendous asset to any team or organization.
  

 I had the privilege of working with Mike during my time at ADP Retirement Services. I have been lucky to work with some very good attorneys during my career, but Mike made what very often was a long and difficult process a painless one and was always great in collaborating. His “get it done” approach was appreciated and greatly valued. 

 I worked with Mike on several marketing initiatives during his time at CSG and found him to be highly dependable and hardworking. He would often be the first to volunteer for any task – large or small – for the benefit of the firm. The enthusiasm he brings to each and every project truly makes him an asset to any organization.  

 Having worked with Mike for more than 7 years, I can attest to his tremendous talents as an attorney. Anyone needing guidance can rely on Mike to provide sound advice in a reasoned, practical way. Just as important as Mike’s legal skill, however, is his innate ability to connect with people on a personal level. Mike forms meaningful bonds with clients and colleagues, and therefore is an asset to any organization.
  

 Michael is a skilled attorney and educator. He possesses the ability to skillfully navigate the practice of law, and provide simplified explanations of complex legal theories. His ability to take complex areas of law and break them down into simplified, understandable explanations was invaluable in a learning atmosphere. Also, Michael is approachable with any question, and overall a very friendly person.
  

 Mr. Gordon has impeccable work ethic. Even as a law student under pressure from the rigors of a difficult academic program, Mr. Gordon expended great effort and time in teaching and guiding his fellow students. It was a coveted role for a select few, and Mr. Gordon performed his teaching responsibilities dutifully.
  

 Often times the insurance placements I work on are complicated and involve negotiations with buyers or sellers counsel or sometimes both. Having worked on a number of transactions I come to appreciate counsel who understands the value I can add and allows me the latitude to operate. Michael trusts the deal team and exudes confidence and control along the way. Michael is an asset to any transaction and is a consummate professional.
 

Michael is a consummate professional, whose detailed oriented work is a pleasure for those who need accurate counsel under pressure. His work never disappoints!
  

 I have worked with Mike for many years. I also have been lucky enough to know him for many years on a personal level. He is extremely relatable, competent and hard-working. He is also very trustworthy. I would not hesitate to engage Mike or work alongside of him on any matter. It is with the utmost confidence that I recommend him.
 

 Michael is a skilled attorney - and a great person and mentor. He is a pillar in the legal community and it is a pleasure to know and work with him!
  

 "Michael Gordon embodies true leadership in every facet of his life. He is a determined lawyer, genuine friend, proud father and a real-world thinking Professor. His work ethic and professionalism have always impressed me and others Michael interacts with.

 
I first got to know Michael as we worked together. We quickly realized we shared a lot in common. From our Seton Hall alumni roots, passion for teaching and mentorship, and genuine creativity that we can make things better for the next generation, we started connecting the dots and have partnered together in many facets of life. From developing and co-teaching a first of its kind leadership class together at Seton Hall University, alongside Bryan Price, to having the opportunity to create a Baskets & Business professional networking program, Michael and I have developed a close collaboration together. I am proud to recognize Michael as someone who will always go above and beyond at everything he puts his mind to. His ability to have people rally behind him is extraordinary and I am honored to have met Michael. He continues to inspire myself and others to be the best we can be in our daily lives.

We have gone on to become close friends. His passions will continue to lead a strong legacy and I am excited to see where Michael’s future takes him, as he is very passionate about helping others." 

  “Leadership and personal development skills mean everything to me and I value them highly. I’m a soccer player, so both academically, but also as an athlete, these skills keep me growing as a person. Developing these skills are essential for a person like me who wants to help people around me and be a role model today.  

Unfortunately, these skills aren’t as much communicated and shown among young people as it should be. I believe that if leadership and personal development skills are taught at an early stage in life, we would see a more mature and professional population.

I think that Professor Gordon’s style of teaching is remarkable and fascinating. He is a role model when it comes down to being a leader and helping us develop ourselves. He shows how a leader should act in terms of preparing himself for class but also by being appealing as a speaker. Moreover, the fact that he offers himself to help his former and current students in their career journey as a mentor also shows why he is such a good person to teach personal development and leadership.” 

Coach Mike:

We admire the way you inspire the kids and your positive energy! You are one of a kind!  I’m really glad you’ll be coaching the kids in basketball!    We are on the same page - trying to be the best version of ourselves as parents each day because our kids deserve the very best!  

But honestly, you have been a role model and I’m glad you came into our son’s life. I hope he can keep on being in contact with you and your family - since having kind and inspiring people around is vital for any child and for our family - even more being the case that we are ‘new’ in this country and we really want the best for our kids as well.  Thank you for everything! 

 "Professor Gordon is definitely one of the best professors I've had at Seton Hall. He is knowledgeable and makes all the subjects relatable to the class. He is always willing to help students and provide guidance using his vast experience in many areas. 

Mr. Gordon has impeccable work ethic. Even as a law student under pressure from the rigors of a difficult academic program, Mr. Gordon expended great effort and time in teaching and guiding his fellow students. It was a coveted role for a select few, and Mr. Gordon performed his teaching responsibilities dutifully."   

 During the Fall semester of 2018, I was a student of Michael's in his business law course. I can undeniably claim that Mr. Gordon is a brilliant professor who excels in relaying his knowledge of the law to his students. I very much enjoyed his class and respected how well he was able to communicate the legal side of business. If given the opportunity, I would have surely taken another course with him.
 

 Professor Gordon is extremely reliable as a professor and friend. He’s always one call away for any needs and really cares for his students’ success.
 

  I’ve known Michael for the past 8 years and he’s always been a outstanding friend and Professional. He’s helped most recently with my licensing requirements of my new business Trash Pros of New Jersey. Without him it would have taken years to get licensed. I am forever grateful to him. I would highly recommend him.
