Ian Holloway, Dean, University of Calgary Law School

“A year and a half ago, we at Calgary embarked on the process of re-doing our strategic plan. At the beginning of the process, our working group spent an afternoon with Ken Steele, the founder of Eduvation, a higher education consulting firm (and a first-rate one). It was one of the most professionally enervating days of my life. For what Ken helped us realize was that, rather than writing a strategic plan, we were helping draft a new chapter in our institutional narrative.”

Steven Cairns, Conference Co-chair, NICHE 2017

“Thank you for delivering such a thought-provoking presentation for the NICHE conference participants. Having you join us remotely worked very well and was mentioned by several people as a highlight of the conference. The discussion tied in with eCampus Ontario made an impression and inspires several directions to move forward.”

Drew Ness, Dean International, Humber College

“Ken was a tremendous asset to the success of our Humber International retreat, not only for his skillful leadership of the workshop, but also for his exceptional planning and workshop development skills.  Highly recommended!”

Phil Ker, Chief Executive, Otago Polytechnic (New Zealand)

“Great job, Ken – a fantastic start to the year for us, and not a hitch with the [Virtual Keynote] technology.  The feedback was fantastic – staff appreciated the delivery as well as the content, so objectives fulfilled on both counts!”

Barry Telford, CEO of Sodexo Universities North America West, & President of Sodexo Canada

“Great presentation…..insightful, engaging, dynamic and on point. Ken has a very special ability to synthesize through mountains of data looking for insights, and within the insights he is able to demonstrate opportunities. Outstanding!”

Elita Paterson, Senior Administrative Assistant to the Executive Director, UR International, University of Regina

“Ken, I’m sure you hear this all the time, but… your style of sharing is engaging, clever, rich with humour and snazzy music, and of course with information people are hungry to hear!  We chose WELL!  Thank you for sharing your talents and passions with the CBIE crowd!”

George Khoury, Director Member Services, CBIE (Canadian Bureau for International Education)

“Thank you very much for joining us in Niagara Falls, your session was exactly what we had hoped for. Participants enjoyed the interactive format and were engaged throughout the session, it certainly was an “uplifting finale” to our conference.”

Julia Denholm, Dean of Arts & Sciences, Capilano University

“Thank you, Ken, for a great day. It’s always a treat to think outside of our own space and to put our experiences into the larger context.  I’ve heard lots of excellent feedback from all around campus and am really happy we were able to hear from you in person.”

Mary Hodder, Registrar, Douglas College

“Having Ken Steele on our campus brought an inspiring collection of student engagement efforts from across the country into our view. We felt affirmed and connected to our Canadian colleagues. Thank you Ken!”

Deborah Dunbar, Director Organizational & Staff Development, George Brown College

“Ken’s presentations are informative, engaging, thought provoking and full of the latest trends and issues impacting the Canadian postsecondary landscape. Most appreciated is the energy he invests in understanding his audience to ensure he delivers a presentation that is relevant and customized to the particular needs of the group.”
