Professional Bio
Ken Okel is a trusted partner who delivers engaging, actionable, and memorable programs. Drawing from his high-pressure experiences in broadcast news, hurricane relief, and professional ballet, he shares fun insider strategies to help audiences perform at their best.
Ken is also the author of Stuck on Yellow and Get Better!, host of The 2 Minute Takeaway podcast, and a seasoned communicator who has promoted everything from global brands to three-legged kittens.
As a child, Ken loved playing with Lego and letting his imagination run wild. Today, he flexes those creative muscles with meeting planners, as they collaborate on his presentations.
On stage, you might see Ken making a point, with ballet, about trust at work. Yes, Ken breaks out some dance moves!
Or he quickly changes clothes (offstage), as part of a story about dealing with unexpected change, during an airport fashion emergency.
And he might inspire you to approach challenges differently, by having you provide sound effects to his stories.
This award-winning journalist continues to use his broadcasting skills, leading panels and on-stage interviews, serving as an Emcee, and appearing (slightly taller) in virtual talks. He also creates special preview videos to help you market and promote your events.
When he’s not speaking, Ken may be looking at his Fitbit, as he chases his daily goal of 20,000 steps. After he sits down, he may be online with members of his family, who live in France, South Korea, and across the United States.
Ken is a Past President and two time Member of the Year of the Florida Speakers Association and a 20 year member of the National Speakers Association.
