Ken recently spoke to our leadership team at L&M, and working with him was a fantastic experience. He took a very personal and thoughtful approach - spending time learning our business, speaking with team members, and tailoring his presentation to our specific industry and priorities. His session was engaging, practical, and included just the right amount of humor to keep the team energized. Ken’s TRUST Success Model gave us a clear, actionable framework that we’ve already begun applying. His talk set the perfect tone for our leadership meeting, and the team left feeling connected and motivated. I highly recommend Ken for any organization looking to elevate its leadership culture.

Ken Sher is a speaker who doesn’t just inform an audience—he activates them. Whether he’s breaking down his T.R.U.S.T. Success Model or sharing stories from the trenches of leadership and career transition, Ken delivers practical insights with a warmth and authenticity that immediately put people at ease. I’ve watched executives, job seekers, and seasoned leaders walk away from his sessions clearer, more confident, and already planning what they’ll implement first. What makes Ken especially valuable for conferences and corporate events is his mix of substance and style: he’s relatable, engaging, and genuinely funny, yet every story and example lands with a concrete takeaway. If you’re looking for a keynote or workshop speaker who will elevate your event—and leave your audience thanking you afterward—Ken is someone you absolutely want on your stage.

Ken was recently brought in to speak at a leadership meeting for my company. He took the time, prior to the meeting, to speak with me to get a better understanding of our current situation. He then used that information to deliver an on-point talk to our group. Ken's message, delivered around the frame of his TRUST Success Model, is useful, practical, and he presented ideas that will definitely help our leadership team. Ken's style is easy-going, relatable, and he used humor well to keep everyone engaged.
