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

After hearing Ken Larson speak about coaching and seeing the passion, drive and focus with which he operates, I decided that when I needed a coach, it would be Ken. I have been working with Ken as a coach for close to a year. He has guided me through a major personal and career transition in a way that was both challenging and re-energizing. I truly value his ability to ask the tough questions and make sure they are thoroughly and thoughtfully answered. I highly recommend Ken as a coach.
Margaret Miyagishima
CEC, PCC, Executive Coach and Facilitator
For me and my team, working with Ken Larson has been a transformational experience inside our organization. He is a strategic thinker, with a focus on accountability and bottom line results.
Brian Taylor
Chairman, CEO, Board Member & Investor
Ken understands the business world. He learns the business from the bottom up and at the same time works with the CEO from the top down. He helps get employees and management on the same page, share the same values, mission and action plan to move the organization from Good to Great. With his help we were able to weather the 2009 financial storm without losing any employees or business. On the contrary we were able to grow and hire during the downturn in economy. He is my career and business coach.
David Wallach
President/Founder, Triumph Real Estate Investment Fund
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.
Conn Nicoll
Director Security Services, TELUS
Ken made significant contributions to the success of a quality initiative within the Canadian energy pipeline industry in 2014 and this success has continued into 2015 with even lofty plans well under way. Ken brings unique perspectives, the ability to draw out fantastic insights from people by asking thought provoking questions, a \'winning\' attitude focused on achieving excellence and a vast tool kit that allows him to flex and adapt to any situation. It has been a pleasure to continue to work with Ken as he has the right approach when it comes to developing long lasting relationships based on honoring commitments and driving for sustainable results.
Vik Kohli
Director, Enbridge
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.
