“UFV engaged Ken for a 2-hour [virtual] presentation for our Board of Governors to give them an overview of the most current trends in Canadian higher education and governance. Ken had their attention the whole time, and the members raved about how helpful his work was in understanding the Canadian context.”

Ken is an engaging and inspiring presenter! Sessions for faculty and staff, senior leadership, board members and our strategic planning committee were packed with research findings, trends, forecasts, and thought-provoking ideas that challenged and engaged us all – and with lasting impact!  We are still discussing his presentations as we develop plans for the future at Selkirk College.”

“Ken Steele was instrumental in supporting the Saskatchewan Polytechnic Senior Management Team in orientation of our newly appointed Members of the Board of Directors regarding trends and issues affecting the post-secondary sector.  With his engaging style and extensive knowledge of higher education, Ken was informative and thought-provoking.  The Board and Senior Leadership Team were inspired by Ken’s energizing presentation, and the effective manner in which it was delivered.”

“Thank you for your excellent presentation at my annual Board of Governors’ retreat. I wanted the Governors to hear about what’s happening in our higher education world today, what are the external forces and influences that can, and will, disrupt our relatively slow moving sector. You did a great job of very clearly identifying the trends, challenges and issues from various perspectives; students specifically and society in general. I, along with the members of the Board, very much enjoyed it and learned from it. It was educating, insightful and to my personal liking, even provocative.”
