Reporting live from the cockpit.

From spending more than 10 years on-air in TV News, to running a professional ballet company, and organizing more than 100 hurricane relief volunteers, Ken Okel has done a lot.

For more than a decade, he met his obstacles in front of a TV camera for audiences to admire. Ken worked in the fast-moving TV news industry as a TV news anchor, reporter, (pretend) weatherman, and talk show host. He learned that even under pressure, people will get more done and have more fun if they can get around the obstacles that are blocking their path.

Ken used his Clear the Path skills when he coordinated hurricane relief volunteers after several storms. He brought hundred of strangers together and made them an effective unit that distributed much needed food, water, and ice.

"Dancing" With the Stars!

From the high cost of putting on a show to dealing with tempermental artists, Ken learned there are a lot of obstacles you must overcome as the Executive Director of a professional ballet company. Ken knows what it's like to be the boss and have to babysit employees who complain about things like having too much toilet paper.

Ken is a Past President of the Florida Speakers Association and a member of the National Speakers Association. He's a proud member of the Last Minute Speaker Florida Network.
