I’M NOT A SPEAKER. I’M A BUILDER.
Ken Collins
For nearly 40 years I’ve had my boots on the jobsite as a construction industry professional. Throughout that time, I’ve learned firsthand how the construction industry builds America’s infrastructure through talented people working together.
At the foundation of my philosophy is a “people first” approach. By empowering key contributors, sharing life experiences and continuously learning while I teach, I develop connections across generations of talent, providing personalized, relevant guidance to forward-thinking organizations.
With diverse experience, creativity and trust, I immerse myself into companies at every level, working to identify the specific organizational needs and institute the strongest, sustainable solutions. I look forward to lacing up my boots to bring knowledge, instill best practices and inspire positive cultural improvement within your business.
