he awakens something in people.
Our students left his session ready to lead
from a place of healing, not hurt.

Our university looks for speakers that deliver impact.
The Rise X Lead™ framework gave our team practical tools for leading with empathy, clarity, and purpose. The value Kenneth brought to the room was exceptional.

Every leader wants to MAXIMIZE their impact...
But without a true understanding of how people operate, we create stress, disconnection, and burnout.
RISExLEAD bridges that gap by teaching leaders how to build cultures of trust, healing, and high performance.

Transform how leaders rise and teams thrive — leveraging the science and psychology of human development.
With RISExLEAD every challenge becomes an opportunity — for inner growth, authentic leadership, and meaningful impact.
