Keynote

Words From a Dying Man

What if remembering that you're going to die could fundamentally change the way you live and lead?

After nearly 70 years of life and decades of leadership, Ken has come to some profound convictions about how to live, and finish, well. If Ken knew this was the last opportunity he'd ever have to speak with you, this is exactly what he'd want you to hear.

More about this keynote

Through deeply personal stories, hard-earned wisdom, and timeless biblical principles, Ken introduces a clear pathway for making the rest of your life count and finishing it well.

This compelling keynote isn't about preparing to die. It's about making the most of the life you've been entrusted with: living with greater intentionality, purpose, and Kingdom stewardship.

Because many start. Few finish. Even fewer finish well.

Interactive workshop

Beat the Odds

A Proven Path to Finishing Well

The real question isn't whether finishing well is difficult. It's whether there's a proven path to doing it.

We've all seen it. Leaders who started strong and achieved remarkable things, but somewhere along the way lost their way. Colleagues derail. Organizations implode. Marriages suffer. People who once led effectively struggle just to stay on track.

What participants explore

Drawing from decades of leadership experience, extensive research, and years of guiding hundreds of leaders, Ken introduces a practical framework for understanding where you are in your leadership journey, what could derail you, and how to navigate the defining moments ahead.

Through engaging teaching, personal reflection, and interactive exercises, participants explore the six stages in the life of a leader, the three defining moments that can change their trajectory, and the critical relationship between who they're becoming and what they're accomplishing.

Leaders leave with greater clarity about their current season, practical tools for navigating what's ahead, and specific next steps toward finishing well.

Many start. Few finish. Even fewer finish well.

Signature message

Don't Miss Your Most Fruitful Season

One of the most critical seasons in a leader's life is also one of the easiest to miss.

For many experienced leaders, there comes a defining season when decades of experience, strengths, relationships, and hard-earned wisdom begin converging around what could become their greatest contribution. Yet too many fail to recognize the opportunity, or remain so invested in what they've always done that they miss what God may be preparing them to do next.

More about this message

Drawing from decades of guiding leaders through significant life and leadership transitions, Ken introduces what he calls the Convergence Zone: a season of extraordinary opportunity that requires intentionality, discernment, and the courage to move forward.

Through his Discovering Your NEXT framework, Ken shares five essential C's to help Christian leaders recognize this season, gain clarity about God's direction, and take meaningful steps toward what may become their most fruitful and significant years of life and leadership.

Your NEXT may be closer than you think.
