Before founding Champion Performance Systems, Ken Larson was the Athletic Director for the top college athletic program in Canada (now Mount Royal University). He is a former member of the University of Victoria Vikings as part of their seven (7) National Championships in a row in the early 1980s.
Ken Larson was also a member of the Canadian Men’s National Basketball Team (1981-84), playing for well-known Coach Jack Donohue. At the time, the Canadian Team was ranked 4th in the world – the highest Canada has ever been ranked.
According to Ken Larson, it isn’t what Coach Donohue did to him, but what he did for him that has allowed him to coach over 300 (and counting) leaders in the last 25+ years, and what also laid the foundation for his most successful keynote, Inspirationship™.
Ken has delivered successful executive coaching experiences and growth to organizations with topline revenues ranging from millions to billions. Ken Larson has his own executive coach, personal trainer, and health coach. This team has helped and inspired him to seek the very best for himself and others.
As a lifelong learner, Ken Larson is always learning from his experiences, his colleagues, and his clients. His goal is to read a minimum of 50 books a year. He is currently working on one of his own. He walks his talk and lives by his core values and overall philosophy toward life.

Motivation Is Dead

Ken Larson doesn’t believe in motivation anymore. There is nothing that he, or anyone for that matter, can say or do that will motivate anyone with any sort of lasting results. Your people already have their own motivation within themselves, it’s just a matter of bringing it out.
Frankly, most people are downright tired of motivation tactics and seek much more. That’s why it is the responsibility of every person within your organization to inspire themselves first, and then to infect everyone else around them with the same.
Inspiration is not a play on words. It is an entirely different concept and paradigm than the common practices of most organizations in the world today. High-performing organizations understand and foster this. It all starts with the individual. If your people aren’t actively choosing to inspire themselves, then they are, by default, relying on someone or something else to motivate them.
That is a recipe for disaster in any organizational setting. Inspired people inspire others. Teams of inspired individuals inspire the organization. Inspired organizations rise above their competitors and customers are willingly drawn to them.
