Who We Are

About Champion PSI

The Story

There is something to learn from every person you meet, and sometimes, you meet someone who has a monumental effect on your life. For Ken Larson, founder of Champion Performance Systems, it was his National Team basketball coach.

When we find someone we look up to, we are challenged, encouraged, and inspired. In admiring how someone could impact him so much, Ken realized his growing passion to ride shotgun with amazing high performers as they break through to new levels of achievement, just as his coach did for him.

The rest is history — Champion PSI is in its 26th year in business, though the concept was inspired long before in those unforgettable, defining moments on the court.

Today, Champion PSI has grown from one to a collection of like-minded professionals with varied expertise and a wide range of personal and professional fields, all driven by one prevailing goal: to scale your business through executive coaching and strategic planning.

What People Are Saying

The members of the SHCA are very passionate about the work they do! Everyone knows that in Saskatchewan, "if the earth moved, it was us!" Ken's presentation on inspiring your employees instead of simply settling for momentary motivation really resonated with many in the room. Ken's ability to connect with his audience through his personal stories really takes the listener to the next level and forces you to take a look at areas you want to improve upon personally, and/or professionally. We'd definately use Ken again for another event and/or one on one coaching! He's a top quality presenter!!
Shantel Lipp
President, Saskatchewan Heavy Construction Association
Ken Larson presented a key note at the Glencoe Golf & Country Club annual supervisors retreat in March 2013. His presentation was inspirational, thought provoking and engaging. He was very highly rated by all attendees, a great way to start our golf season! Ken has a unique ability to apply humour and stories to help bring the message home. I highly recommend Ken as a key note speaker.
Greg Lundmark
Professional Private Club Executive/Manager
Ken Larson invited me to sit as a Trusted Advisor committee member for his TEC group. Ken's expertise in facilitating the collaborative workings of this group is worth noting. We have developed to being a supportive group of experts who are more than willing to go the extra mile for each other. It's always a pleasure working with you, Ken!

Andreas Cordsen
Solution Design & Modeling Business Manager, WesternGeco
I lead a COO group in Calgary and we welcome a new speaker each month to share some relevant topics with us in a limited time. Ken was a stand out from the last few years for sure! He is one of the few who scored highly from all members on his passion for his material, the level of the content and his skill and expertise to deliver the content in a meaningful way. We loved what he shared so much we bought the book and are using it as a discussion point at our annual retreat. I would highly recommend bringing Ken into your group of leaders to shift their thinking and truly understand the simple and powerful steps for execution.
Aly Pain
Professional Speaker, The Conflict Coach
Champion Performance Systems was a game changer for me. Connecting with Ken Larson shifted me from being unsure as to what was ahead as a new leader, to confidently creating a path for leadership and establishing a clear direction. I appreciated every moment.
