Frank Kitchen, CSP, is a high-impact keynote speaker and Professional Results Expert who helps professionals and organizations break through stuck thinking to create meaningful results at work. Known for his engaging, practical, and high-energy style, Frank delivers keynotes that move audiences beyond motivation and into real execution.
Frank’s journey into professional speaking was shaped by reinvention. After losing his job on Father’s Day in 2015, he was forced to rethink how capable professionals respond when familiar strategies stop working. That experience became the foundation for his proprietary LIVE F.R.E.S.H.™ Framework—Focused, Resourceful, Enthusiastic, Strong, Honest—a practical mindset reset designed to help people move from intention to action.
With more than 30 years of experience in leadership development, performance, and adult learning, Frank blends real-world insight with research-backed strategies that resonate across industries. His work has impacted associations, corporations, nonprofits, government agencies, and educational organizations nationwide.
Frank holds the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation—an elite credential earned by a small percentage of professional speakers worldwide—and is the author of Fresh from the Kitchen, 52 Ways to Shine, and The Live FRESH Workbook. His distinctive food-based metaphors create a shared language that makes learning stick long after the event ends.
Audiences consistently describe Frank’s keynotes as engaging, relatable, and immediately applicable—leaving with clarity, confidence, and renewed momentum to start “cooking up” results they can see, measure, and sustain.



Franks session today was extremely impactful and insightful to me. It is not often that a speaker is able to actually reach my personal values and he was able to do just that. I definitely feel more motivated to get after it, make a positive impact, and ultimately achieve my goals.
