Frank Kitchen, CSP — The Chef of Success — knows what it means to start over and cook up something extraordinary. After being fired on Father's Day weekend while supporting a pregnant wife and toddler, Frank didn't fold — he flipped his mindset and built a speaking career that has taken him around the world. Today he is a Performance Expert and one of fewer than 1,000 speakers worldwide to hold the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation from the National Speakers Association — helping emerging professionals stop playing small and cook up the success they're hungry for.

At the heart of Frank's work are two powerful frameworks. The LIVE F.R.E.S.H. ™ Framework equips emerging professionals with the belief and blueprint to perform at their highest level. The K.I.T.C.H.E.N. Leadership Recipe gives leaders the seven essential skills to bring out the best in their people and cook up results their entire organization will taste. Together they make Frank the rare speaker who serves both emerging professionals and the leaders who develop them — delivering a complete, end-to-end recipe for performance and culture.

With more than 30 years of experience, Frank has inspired audiences in corporations, professional associations, educational institutions, and government organizations worldwide — including the US Army. His signature culinary approach doesn't just make the message memorable — it creates a shared language teams continue using long after the event ends. Frank doesn't show up to motivate — he shows up to challenge. Audiences don't just leave inspired — they leave with a plan, a proven recipe, and a personal commitment to stop playing small and become the proof that success is possible.
