KEN PROCTOR is a keynote speaker, executive coach, and founder of The Grey Point Group. After selling his own company, Ken shifted into coaching leaders across organizations from $2M to $2B, helping them build cultures that people want to be part of - not just work at.
But this conversation goes BEYOND team performance or company culture.
Through personal stories, sharp frameworks, and decades of lived wisdom, Ken shows us why the best leaders ask better questions, tell the truth, and never forget who they’re building for.
🔥 The surprising story of an NBA star’s autograph that shaped Ken’s entire leadership philosophy
🔥 The moment one particular comment changed Ken’s leadership path - and led to selling his house to launch a company built on values
🔥 Why most leaders “bat at the leaves instead of digging at the roots” — and how to fix it
🔥 The one question that transformed client retention
🔥 What happens when you stop hijacking conversations and start making people feel significant
🔥 Why every apology needs 3 specific ingredients - and how most leaders dilute them
🔥 Ken’s “Foundational Five” - the 5 universal things every human craves (and every leader should give)
🔥 The metric that matters most to Ken when measuring culture health (hint: it’s not a dashboard)
🔥 What to ask instead of “How was your weekend?” to actually build trust and connection
🔥 How Ken helps leaders build cultures people will literally break down walls to be part of
This episode is packed with leadership truths, sharp tactical takeaways, and questions that will stay with you long after the episode ends.
