“Kenston gave a really energizing and motivating presentation for Indiana SHRM. Immediately after the presentation, I asked him to speak at my company and aim the message for my group. He did a great job and was an excellent closing speaker. My team typically works in the field and is very active. Kenston spoke to the group after a full day of classroom training and did a great job of engaging them when their tanks were not full. He was very easy to work with and I would highly recommend him.”

“I had the honor and privilege of hearing Kenston present on “Winning Conversations: How to Communicate Successfully and Courageously in the workplace” at the HR Florida Conference. Not only was this topic “right on time”, with current climate; Kenston’s delivery was raw, uncut and real! In my opinion, this conversation has been long overdue. Kenston created a safe place, using his REM-C framework allowing for vulnerability. I have attended many sessions on this very topic over the past year and half, but none as dynamic and real as this. Kenston, THANK YOU for bringing your true, authentic self to this conversation. I’m looking forward to continuing the conversations I have started within my professional/personal networks and taking them to a whole new level of vulnerability and continuous fight for awareness.”
Jessica Holloman, SHRM-CP, PHR
“
At the HR Florida Conference in August 2021, I had the honor of hearing Kenston present and speak about speaking courageously about race in the workplace. Kenston’s message resonated and was universal – we cannot avoid talking about topics of such importance anymore and need to create safe environments in our workplaces to foster such discussions. Whether race, LGBTQ+, gender, or other topics we have long thought too sensitive to discuss, Kenston’s collaborative approach to bringing these issues to light is engaging, serious, and even fun. His innate ability to connect with everyone in his audience is authentic and further adds to the meaningful nature of his approach. I am hopeful I get to learn more from Kenston as I continue my own journey to speak courageously.
Kenston Henderson Sr. and the Live with Lyfe team were a pleasure to work with. Kenston took the time to understand our group dynamics in order to incorporate into the event. His presentation was high energy, relevant, and informative. He kept the group engaged and was able to showcase, through stories and examples, how attendees could take his insight back to ‘real-life’. We would highly recommend Kenston for your next event.”
