SPEAKING TOPICS
LAND THE JOB YOU WANT: Take Control of Your Job Search
Is your audience struggling to find a job or hitting the marketplace for the first time and not really sure what to do? It’s normal; not many people are experts in landing a job. And let’s face it, most of what’s being taught out there is antiquated, passive and quite frankly, not that effective. This presentation will teach your audience how to:
- Get a job faster
- Transfer their skills to a new career
- Land a job they actually want vs. looking again in six months
- Remove the fear, anxiety and pressure from their job search
- Build their confidence
- Get companies to get back to them
- Separate themselves from the masses
- Get in motion with an action-oriented game plan
FIND THE WORK YOU LOVE: It’s Closer Than You Think
Is your audience at a point in their life where they’re ready to find their calling? Or perhaps their field is evaporating and they have to find a new career. Now what? Unfortunately, most people don’t know what they really want to do for a living and those that do are unsure of how to get there. This presentation will inspire your audience to tap into what their soul has been trying to tell them for years and then teaches them how to get it!
Your audience will learn how to:
- Get clear about their purpose
- Get moving toward what they want
- Create an action plan
- Get out of their own way
- Enlist support from people who can help
LOVE THE JOB YOU HAVE: Rekindle That Old Flame
Has your current workforce become stagnant? Is your employee turnover on the rise? Is the company morale at a new low? In our personal lives, for any kind of outside change to occur we must address what’s going on inside. The same applies to your company; to change your company culture, your people must change. This presentation will inspire your employees to look within themselves to get what they want from their job which will ultimately result in a positive ripple effect throughout your entire organization.
Your audience will learn how to:
- Rediscover what they love about their job
- Gain a fresh perspective
- Remove job anxiety
- Be more engaged at work
- Actually look forward to Mondays
EVENT PLANNERS
Ken starts with one of three topics, Landing a New Job, Switching Careers, or Loving Your Current Job and then tailors it to your unique needs.
He understands the importance of your event and the responsibility you have to find just the right speaker. His goal is not to give you the one-size-fits-all version but to identify the overall objective of your event and how you want your audience to benefit.
Contact Ken to discuss the goals of your next event.

WHAT KEN BRINGS TO YOUR EVENT
Timely Topics: With unemployment soaring into double-digits and a majority of Americans unhappy in their current job, Ken’s career-oriented presentations will hit home with your entire audience.
Passion: Ken absolutely loves sharing his fresh and innovative way to approach the job search. He also loves encouraging people to follow that certain “something” in their heart that makes them come alive. Audiences often comment that they can actually feel that he cares, not just about the topic, but about them personally.
High Energy: After a recent speaking event, one audience member was so stirred by the energy level that she coined a new word, “Kenergy”. It is this genuine enthusiasm and infectious energy that Ken brings to every single event.
Interaction: Ken’s not your average “stand behind the podium” kind of guy. When he speaks, you’ll find him moving about to better connect with the audience. Participants automatically feel engaged because the speech becomes a conversation. Ken’s talks feel more like sharing great news over coffee with an old friend than it does a rehearsed speech attached to a PowerPoint presentation.

They walk away with a new sense of freedom: “I can't really thank you enough. It was just strange going to your seminar and really feeling free, light, and totally empowered. I really love my job and so does my family. THANK YOU!” – Andrea Garcia
