  • A mule stepped on his head
  • Attacked by a crazed hog
  • Nose flattened by a fisherman’s boat paddle while water-skiing
  • Accidentally shot himself in the head with his own gun
And yes, this is all true. He says it took a shot through the head to open his mind.

Ken went from washing windshields to leading a combat platoon in Vietnam, from being the top revenue producer in a group of 6,000 AT&T salespeople to becoming one of only 300 speakers internationally recognized as a certified speaking professional.
He is president of Ken Futch and Associates, an Atlanta-based training company that teaches organizations and individuals how to turn situations into opportunity.

Before founding his company in 1986, he was in sales and management with AT&T, where he was recognized for being the top revenue producer in a group of 6,000 salespeople. Ken's success led to his selection as a top trainer at AT&T's prestigious National Sales School.

He is a native of the "Tar Heel" state and is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He was commissioned as a lieutenant and served three years in the U.S. Army, including a tour in Vietnam as a combat platoon leader.

A past president of the Georgia Speakers Association and a former Toastmasters International humor champion, he delivers more than 100 high-impact programs annually. He has now trained over 100,000 people in seminars presented throughout North America and Europe.

He is the author of the book Take Your Best Shot, which is filled with priceless insights and stories about recognizing and achieving opportunities in life.
