Ken delivered a riveting presentation to a rapt audience using language that effectively bridged the stark realities of the marketing world and the more traditional perspectives of academia.

Gerry Kendal, Vice-Provost & Registrar, University of Alberta

Ken has provided critical consultancy as we look to understand our current and future student milieu; then, and perhaps of even greater value, he has provided critical facilitation as we look at ourselves in reaction to those understandings. We are much the better for Ken’s insights and counsel.

Anna Kae Todd, Vice-President Academic, Bow Valley College

If you’re looking for a session which presents many key trends and issues, and from which you can spin off any number of learning conversations, Ken’s will do it.

“Ken provides an amazing bird’s eye view of the PSE landscape. No college exec has the time or resources to fly that high — so we’re very glad of your wingspan and flight speed!”

Richard Fisher, Chief Communications Officer, Development & Alumni Engagement, UBC

Ken is a lively and engaging presenter who brings his material to life through anecdote and compelling visuals. More than that, though, he is an evangelist for university communications and a subject matter expert.

Stefanie Ivan, AVP Student Services, Grant MacEwan University

“Ken has the unique ability to engage meaningfully with individuals at all levels in our organizations and his presentations are sure to be transformational in any organization.”

Dr. Gordon Nixon, Vice-President Academic, SAIT Polytechnic

In one word, Ken’s presentation was ‘OUTSTANDING.’ He was strategic, informative, engaging and entertaining. In our formal evaluation of our planning session, Ken’s presentation was ranked the highest, receiving an average score of 9.6 out of 10. We will definitely be using Ken’s services in the future.

Dr. Leo Groarke, President & Vice-Chancellor, Trent University

Ken has a truly remarkable command of current developments in the world of postsecondary education, both in Canada and beyond. His presentations are engaging, stimulating, and provocative — and delivered in a manner guaranteed to make audiences think about the future direction of PSE and the ways in which their own institutions might make the most of them. I recommend him highly.
