About Ken Christian
Kenneth W. Christian, Ph. D., is a licensed psychologist whose sole focus for the last twenty years has been helping individuals, parents, educators and organizations and their leaders remove limitations and maximize potential.
In 1990 he founded the Maximum Potential Project and in 2002 published Your Own Worst Enemy: Breaking the Habit of Adult Underachievement, ReganBooks, HarperCollins, 2002, (paperback 2004). He has also authored, with Dianne Hales, An Invitation to Personal Change, Wadsworth, Cengage Learning, 2009 and more than 50 articles. His work has been cited in Psychology Today, the Financial Times, Selling Power, Investors Business Daily and the Dallas Morning News, among others.
Ken has been a university professor, private practice clinician, speaker, organizational consultant and program developer and has worked with incarcerated juveniles. His team-building experience began as team leader of a multi-racial, multi-cultural, six-member team of community paraprofessionals (the team quickly became the highest-rated in the nation on all measures of performance related to goals); and later as coach for one season to his then ten-year-old daughter's softball team (which went all the way to the league championship game and unfortunately lost due to tragically impaired umpiring.)
Through mentoring, training, and writing, Ken shares his passion, knowledge, and experience with organizations worldwide. He lived in Paris from 1999 to 2002, speaks French, and, with enough accompanying hand gestures, can find a good restaurant in Spanish
