Speaker: It’s “Ok” to Play: Gaming Your Way to Culture That Will Fire Up the Performance of Our Team
Does your workplace feel bland and uninspired? Then it's time to invite "The Performance Chef," Frank Kitchen, to infuse some flavor into your team's culture. In this hands-on "cooking class" Frank will teach you how to transform standard business practices into a soul-nourishing experience. With his signature zest and charm, Frank will provide you with the ingredients needed to foster an award-winning environment, where people feel valued and driven to succeed. An experience so tasty, that everyone will be asking for seconds because they deserve nothing less!

Frank C. Kitchen, CSP, is an award-winning retail manager, trainer, college educator, performer, and motivational speaker. He was the 3rd African American on the planet to be recognized as a fundraising auctioneer. Born in Bad Kreuznach, Germany, Frank Kitchen spent over twenty years educating, energizing, and empowering thousands of students and professionals to transform their loftiest aspirations into reality.

In 2025, on Father ’ s Day weekend, Frank was fired by his employer and his world changed. That weekend, the expectant father committed to cooking up the 5- star performance masterpiece he 'd been dreaming about for years...to become a professional keynote speaker.

After years spent sampling a variety of employment and volunteer opportunities, it was time for Frank to share his F.R.E.S.H. recipe for firing up your performance and cooking up the amazing results you hunger for with the world. The same recipe he would use to go from unemployed, to being recognized as one of the top professional speakers in the world by the National Speakers Association in 2022. Today Frank is a highly sought-after motivational speaker for organizations who want to fire up the performance of their teams. All of Frank’ s "Kitchen Inspired” programs are interactive learning experiences that provide you with the proven recipes, ingredients, tools, and techniques needed to flip your mindset and cook up the amazing results you and your team hunger for! A graduate of Lakeland Community College (A.A.) and David N. Myers University (B.S), Frank is the author of “Fresh from the Kitchen, 44 Tasty Techniques to Cook Up the Professional Dreams You Hunger For ” and “52 Ways to Shine, Discovering Your Value and Leaving an Impact.

Thank you, we hope to see you in May!
