About
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 Human Performance Expert and one of fewer than 700 speakers worldwide to hold the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation from the National Speakers Association — helping Organizations Close the Belief Gap in the People They Serve, so They Can Cook Up the Success They're Hungry For.
At the heart of Frank's work is the LIVE F.R.E.S.H.™ Framework — a practical, repeatable recipe built on five ingredients: Focused, Resourceful, Enthusiastic, Strong, and Honest. This framework equips professionals with the belief and blueprint to perform at their highest level — whether they're just starting out, feeling stuck, or leading a team that's capable of more.
With more than 30 years of experience, Frank has inspired audiences in corporations, professional associations, educational institutions, and government organizations worldwide. 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.
