    KEN LARSON BIOGRAPHY

    Ken Larson has owned and operated Champion Performance Systems since 1996 and is considered an expert in high-performance executive coaching, strategic thinking, execution planning, executive leadership & team development, and overall business growth.

    He delivers high-impact keynote presentations on human high performance, strategic thinking/execution planning, leadership, authentic living, and inspiration. Ken Larson’s mission is to inspire the Champion in all of us through sharing his energy, experience, and enthusiasm. His purpose, or Ikigai, is… “To Ignite”.

    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.
