Ken Okel Biography
Ken Okel engages audiences because he understands the importance of performing at a high level every day, under pressure, having worked in broadcast news, hurricane relief, and professional ballet (not a typo). Join him for a unique and creative experience, as he gives you actionable takeaways from these worlds.
Ken is the author of the the book, Stuck on Yellow, hosts The 2 Minute Takeaway Podcast, and has marketed everything from global brands to a three legged kitten.
Some clients want less talk and more action. They enjoy taking part in Ken’s famous Paper Hat Exercise. This hands-on activity sees audience members faced with an unexpected and fun challenge. They find how they react, preparing them for how they’ll handle their next professional challenge.
Ken continues to use his broadcasting skills in interviews, as a Master of Ceremonies, and in virtual talks. He also appears on-camera in his weekly productivity tips.
