"The first time I talked to Ken on the phone leading up to our group training, I knew that he had great potential to have a big impact on our team. Before speaking I had a vision of a monotone sales lecture - one conversation with him made me realize this is about leadership, communication, accountability and much more than sales. All of these traits make a great salesman, but only because they make a great person first.

What I loved about Ken’s program is that everything he laid out was impactful on a personal level, a group level and organizational. These core behaviors of transformation when followed on a personal level, by a whole team, will transform the behavior and values of the entire organization in the process.

The morale and outlook at our company had been a rollercoaster for a while lately. At times I was happy and content, other times very uncertain of our direction and questioning leadership. By the end of this group session with Ken we had some uncomfortable conversations that had been long overdue, and everyone became much more aware of the direction we needed. We put the start of a plan into action, and I truly believe that if we stick with it, the future will harbor some outstanding successes for the company and our staff. I’ve not felt this excitement for the future of our company since my first day on the job!"

“I wanted to let you know that I enjoyed meeting you and working with you. You have an amazing,
positive attitude that I admire.   Thanks for showing me the power of positivity and generosity.”

"Two words... Master Motivator. I can honestly say that no single person has impacted my professional success greater than this man. I feel blessed to have enjoyed the opportunity to work under his inspiration for over a decade. Ken has an undeniable record of catapulting the success of sales teams while effectively motivating even high-achievers to reach for new heights. He exhilarates action that yields results, period."

"I’ve had the pleasure of watching Ken speak many times. He is always inspiring and motivating, but it doesn’t end there. He leaves you with clarity, structure and actions that will change your life."

"In the many years that I've known Ken, I have always been impressed by his ability to be an incredibly effective leader, a great team builder, and a seasoned coach."

“I have to say your relentless enthusiasm and the perspective you bring is welcoming, remarkable and
contagious!”

“You bring a boundless energy and focus to your business and I am sure that you will continue to find
great success in all you do.”

“I have known Ken for over ten years now. During that time, I have gotten to know Ken as a dad, as a leader and as a mentor. Ken is gifted with an infectious energy level and the ability to create enthusiasm with his ideas. He has a keen sense of situational and political awareness, that provide him with an understanding of people and what motivates them.  Above all, Ken is a very good listener.  He distills what he hears and asks spot on questions. His approach to problem solving provides that much needed combination of motivation, exploration and actionable advice.”

“Ken Packard is the most gifted communicator I've ever had the pleasure of working with.  His tenure as President of our program was defined by his superior leadership in balancing competing interests while maintaining a strategic vision grounded in engaged participation and meaningful interaction.  He possesses a unique ability to cut through the noise in deliberation to guide an organization towards a focus on the core of what makes it unique.  His talents of clarity, focus, and consensus building improved both our organization's effectiveness and the strength of its leadership for years to come.”

"What I liked about working with Ken was how he helped me and my team focus on getting to the most basic underlying needs and motivations of each prospect and then he showed us how to let that guide the conversation in a way that gets the prospect to qualify his/her self and commit to the transaction. On a more personal level, Ken helped me focus attention on my own core strengths and weaknesses to identify where and how I can be most productive."

“It’s always a pleasure and your insights are so spot on—I do wish others understood human nature in
the way that you do.”

“As always, your input and perspective, as well as your overall positive attitude, is a welcome addition!”

"I began my sales career in the financial services industry in 2007 under Ken’s mentorship. Early on, I learned that success in sales was not about talking, as most salespeople are known for. Rather, sales success derived from targeted questioning, genuine listening, and a “no fear” approach to closing. Through Ken’s training, our prospect’s journey allowed them to feel heard, and know that whatever product we eventually presented to them was a result of their own needs and not something that was being “pushed on them”. This approach led me to build a book of trusting, long term relationships – many of which I still maintain today.

I am proud that as my sales career evolved, so too did Ken’s guidance. We started off closing a number of small deals, and today we still collaborate closely on much bigger deals. Throughout the years, Ken instilled in me a drive for success and a belief that anything is possible if you can learn to be the best version of yourself. I could not recommend him in any strong terms!"

“I have worked with Ken Packard for several years on a non-profit board for a volunteer organization. When we first met, Ken was running the board. In that capacity, I got to witness, first hand, his ability to lead, inspire, and motivate. He set the agenda for our board, focused us on delivering the highest possible programming for our members, and passionately exhorted us to focus our efforts on recruiting.

Ken is a terrific public speaker, so our meetings also were well led and interesting. He has a unique ability to boil his points down to easy catch-phrases that make it impossible to forget. In this capacity, Ken’s simple, direct, leadership and messaging was powerful and transformative.

​

In short, Ken Packard is a tremendous speaker, a focused and effective leader, and an insightful thinker. I recommend him to anyone looking for a speaker on leadership, sales, or motivation, more broadly.”

"As a professional speaker myself, I have had the opportunity to watch and listen to some of the great speakers around the country. Without question Ken Packard is one of the finest. I have known Ken since 2006 and have watched him many times over the years. Ken’s energetic style and the message he brings to audiences is a powerful testimonial of leadership, personal change, salesmanship, and foresight that would be of great benefit to those who attend. If you are looking for someone to “fire up” the troops, I wholeheartedly recommend Ken Packard."

“I love your spirit and enthusiasm. Everybody loved you at our meeting, by the way. Fan favorite.
(executive) in China told me he wished you spoke Chinese so you can go motivate the Asia office sales team.”

“It was great to spend time with you again and to hear you crystallise all our debate into pithy summaries.”

"Anytime I hear Ken Packard talk about transformation, I walk away feeling inspired. His servant leadership style and passion for growth radiate throughout every story and insight he shares.  Ken provides clear practical strategies for lasting change and ‘The Nine Non-Negotiable Behaviors for Purposeful Transformation,’ is an invaluable resource, no matter what area of your life you're looking to improve."

"Ken builds winning teams.  He's an expert in management, sales and marketing, and knows how to take a deep look at an organization's strengths and weaknesses.  Combine that with his energy and passion to build successful teams, and you have an outstanding professional to work with to further develop and enhance your business."
