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

I first saw Ken Larson at a conference where he was speaking. His energy, approach and insight left a lasting impression. So much so that I engaged him as a personal coach. Ken helped me create a personal value and mission statement that I use to this day. These statements continue to guide me in my goal setting and in priority setting activities. Through the coaching process Ken helped guide me through the tough self work needed to get clarity on what is truly most important to me. It wasn't easy but with his help I arrived at a great result. I would happily recommend Ken to anyone looking for a personal Coach to help them with career and life direction decisions.

Take a former business professor, add a new venture start-up, then add a high performance executive coach like Ken Larson to help the professor become a national company president. I credit Ken Larson and my TEC membership with fast-forwarding GoForth Institute's success. I would have gotten "there" on my own - but I got "there" a lot faster with Ken's help.
Leslie McGeough
President & Founder, GoForth Institute
Ken was instrumental in assisting our organization define a strong culture which is deeply rooted in everything we do today. Ken also facilitates a "Life Coaching for Fitness Professionals" program that is one of the best received courses on our schedule. We have had many employees take the course more than once. I would recommend Ken to assist with a company looking to build a strong people related culture.

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's skillful method of weaving concrete solutions with meaningful anecdotes gave me the fire to apply his techniques to find new methods both personally and professionally. Ken walks his talk and he brought life, energy and determination to what potentially could have been a difficult virtual presentation to CAPL during COVID. I highly recommend Ken if you need a push, new momentum or to discover which direction to lead your team or yourself.
Jeff Rideout
Vice President, Canadian Association of Petroleum Landmen
Life has been so full that I have felt a desperate need to take time away and perhaps think some significant “whys and where to’s” in my life. Seeking some quiet space to determine if I am experiencing burnout, if I am on the path in life that fills my heart, and what I may be able to do to begin to take care of myself. Ronna and this beautiful place helped me find peace, space and time-away from the vortex of life. This guided experience took me to my core to find my answers and I know that I am not alone.
