Ken Streater

What if you could do more than wish things could change? What if you had a way to meaningfully improve your life and the world around you by helping change how people see and treat each other?

As a witness to thriving and threadbare ecosystems and societies, I’ve traveled, played, and run businesses in about 50 countries. These experiences allow me to share welcome and inspiring options to the damaging media representations of humanity, by reflecting on the goodness that runs through us.

I’ve helped countless people discover and incorporate small, daily habits that create significant personal and community growth. With this they turn away from feeling discouraged and overwhelmed by the world’s direction. They turn towards hope and optimism, as they realize the positive impact they can and do have on the world around them.

Speaking

He guides audience members in opening their eyes to the possibilities around them. Some of his on-stage moments include speaking at TEDx Grand Forks, The Central Oregon Impact Summit, and Legends and Luminaries with Les Brown.
