When people ask me how to get more time into their day, I offer them an easy productivity tip: Don’t spend too much time on fun stuff.
It’s not that I’m against having a good time. In fact, I might be voted most likely to be wearing a lampshade at work.
But there’s a difference between having an occasional laugh and spending time on fun things that take you away from your big picture goals.

Maybe it’s time to bring Ken Okel to your next meeting…

About Ken Okel
Ken Okel laughed years ago when a potential employer described him as being “too versatile,” to hire. Rather than run from this title, he’s embraced it.
For more than a decade, TV audiences watched Ken on the news. At several stations, they saw him perform as a TV news anchor, a reporter, a weatherman, and even a talk show host. Ken covered natural disasters, school shootings, and grieving families. It wasn’t always sad as he got to meet celebrities, find out what makes unforgettable people tick, and get paid to do things like free fall 70 feet, ride through the streets in a motorized armchair, and be safely attacked by a police dog.
Ken then moved into the nonprofit world for several adventures. These saw him do everything from running a professional ballet company to organizing more than 100 hurricane relief volunteers.
Today people know Ken for his leadership presentations to companies and associations. Audiences are engaged and entertained as they receive the tools necessary to transform their professional lives, sometimes with an easy productivity tip. Some enjoy taking part in Ken’s popular Paper Hat Exercise.
