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

Ken Larson has an outstanding grasp of what is required to develop solid business practices that have the potential of moving a company forward. His enthusiasm and focus bring results.
Andreas Cordsen
Solution Design & Modeling Business Manager, WesternGeco
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
As a member of Ken Larson's TEC group I have benefited greatly from his leadership of the group, and his guidance at an individual level. Ken has helped me identify and make exciting career changes in a comfortable yet forward thinking manner. For the TEC group, his expertise as a facilitator has allowed the group to function well in a highly effective arena for business and personal discussion and learning.

Jerry Gunn

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.
Jeanne Weis
Chief Executive Officer, College of Licensed Practical Nurses of Alberta
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!!
