Inside Edge

Kudos for Ken

  • Captivating a room of nearly 500 people isn’t an easy thing to do and yet, each time I’ve had Ken on my stage, that’s exactly what he’s been able to do in just the first 60 seconds. His charisma is matched by his deep business knowledge, refreshing insights, memorable soundbites and sense of humor. We’ve heard time and again from our audience that Ken’s warmth and genuine desire to help the audience comes through not just in what he says, but in his energy, too. He is without a doubt one of the speakers that our audience remembers long after the event — and for all the right reasons. I always look forward to having him on my stage. He brings something new each time. Most of all, however, it’s a honor to know Ken and watch the impact firsthand that he’s having on the world.

  • I asked Ken to take part in a mobile implementation panel for companies in the fantasy sports space, and this was an audience who tended to be late adopters for mobile. He has a great understanding of online marketing and mobile design, but it’s his ability to speak about his knowledge in a clear, concise manner that makes Ken a valuable addition to any conference agenda. I appreciate the way he can teach and explain his ideas and experiences without making people feel inferior. It’s a gift that often is overlooked when looking for a speaker.

  • Mr. Bonham had been recommended to our conference planner by several professionals in the resort-residential-hospitality industries. Since attendees at our conferences tend to be the elite in the shared-ownership resort industry, I wanted to make sure he was qualified to speak. All persons called verified his positive and unique qualifications. Mr. Bonham gave an excellent presentation. It was well organized and received. Comments from attendees were positive, and focused on his creativity, innovativeness, being at the cutting edge, and so forth. After the conference, we were happy to recommend Mr. Bonham to several clients. From all reports, he has continued to be a creative leader in digital marketing in the new age of the resort and hospitality industries.

Why Your Company Needs a Strategic CSR Plan

Implementing a strategic corporate social responsibility (CSR) plan is a win-win for everyone — the general public, your employees, your stakeholders and your company, of course.  I’ve always had a passion for volunteering and helping people in need.
