About Ken Blanchard:
“I was a college professor who came out to San Diego for a one year sabbatical leave when I ran into the group called The Young Presidents Organization after doing sessions for them they adopted me in and encouraged me to start my own company now known as The Ken Blanchard Companies. We are in the leadership development business and our hope and dream is that someday everyone everywhere will be influenced by somebody who is making a difference in the world.
When I turned 65 I was on the fall with Zig Ziglar who invited my wife and I to the 59th anniversary of his 21st birthday. When I asked him if he was going to retire his response was ‘I’m refiring, not retiring’ and I thought wow what a great concept.” – Ken Blanchard
