Professional Bio
Frank Kitchen, CSP — The Chef of Success — is a Performance Expert who helps professionals at every level stop playing small and cook up the success they're hungry for.
His message isn’t just something he teaches. It’s something he lived.
On Father’s Day 2015, Frank lost his job—no warning and no backup plan. What could have been a breaking point became his turning point. That moment became the recipe.
Out of that experience, Frank developed his proprietary LIVE F.R.E.S.H.™ Framework—a practical, repeatable approach that helps emerging professionals move from stuck to confident, consistent action. Through five core ingredients—Focused, Resourceful, Enthusiastic, Strong, and Honest—he equips individuals with the belief and blueprint to perform at their highest level.
Today, Frank brings more than 30 years of experience in leadership development, performance, and adult learning to organizations around the world. His signature culinary metaphors don’t just make the message memorable—they create a shared language teams continue using long after the event ends.
Frank holds the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation from the National Speakers Association—an elite credential earned by fewer than 1,000 speakers worldwide. He is also the author of Fresh from the Kitchen, 52 Ways to Shine and The Live FRESH Workbook, extending his message far beyond the stage.
But Frank doesn’t show up to motivate—he shows up to challenge. With a raw, honest, and practical approach, he pushes audiences to stop waiting, start executing, and take ownership of their results.
Audiences don’t just leave inspired—they leave with a plan, a proven recipe, and a personal commitment to stop playing small and become the proof that success is possible.
