With a journey of over 30 years as a motivational speaker, I can say I am the force that can motivate the audience from within. However, I don’t believe in giving the same speech to every organization. My philosophy is to ensure the right message goes to the right audience at exactly the right time. I do this by taking the time to analyse your needs. The result is a customized presentation that can most effectively produce the required results.

As the specific message resonates with my audiences they quickly warm up. I find they respond and engaging with the energy and excitement we all generate together. Most find themselves happily on their feet, while at the same time doing inward contemplation on their individual “state of physical affairs”. This is where the term The Fitness King seems to really start to work. While all this goes on I move them toward really examining their own current reality. This compels them to make the necessary changes needed on an individual basis.

I know that your employees will leave a presentation equipped with a plan of action as well as an accountability system to help ensure their success.

In a 2007 radio interview, Elaine LaLanne, the wife of now deceased Jack LaLanne, remarked that I reminded her of a young Jack LaLanne with his passion and enthusiasm to inspire and motivate others. In 2009 the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal awarded me the celebrated Minority Business Award of which I am very proud.

Thanks again for making the trip to the Spanish Village to spread the word of how essential it is to practice healthy choices and get off the couch and do it before it is too late!”

“I can’t tell you enough how much you brought to the event on Saturday. It was simply a joy having you there and I have heard over and over again from participants how much they enjoyed having you there. You were definitely a highlight. Your message was awesome as well and fit so well with the event and the overall message the ADA tries to provide for people. I could just go on and on.”

Promoting employee wellness is now a recognized and highly touted corporate objective. It is easy to aspire to this goal, but hard to implement. Ron Henderson is a pioneer in the field helping business leaders bring these benefits to a wide range of industries. Whether he is the Keynote speaker or running a series of workshops, Ron brings a special energy to his presentations that excites and activates an audience. I have seen Ron transform a typical corporate meeting with humor and movement, bringing the audience to their feet.

“Through my job at WCCO Television over the past 40-plus years, I’ve had the chance to be involved with and exposed to some of the most dynamic individuals in sports and other walks of life I would be hard pressed to find someone who’s personal message and passion could match that of Ron Henderson. I recently saw first-hand the effect Ron’s powerful spirit and commitment to personal health and fitness had on a group he spoke to at a gathering at a Minneapolis hotel. I sensed, as a group they were initially reluctant to buy into any message of the value of health and wellness goals over personal financial goals. But within minutes, I could see that skepticism melt away on their faces. Ron Henderson talks from the heart. His speech came from the heart, not from a bunch of well rehearsed notes. He lives what he believes and whether an individual was already in a workout program or hadn’t exercised in years, his message was well received at every corner of the room. More than ever, Ron Henderson’s words need to be heard. He knows we are a society that has an epidemic of childhood obesity that often leads to adult diseases. Keeping ones vitality, no matter your age, is Ron’s crusade. He has personally meant everything to me. I know at age 65, and in a business staying vibrant on television is paramount to connecting to your viewers, Ron Henderson has given me the motivation to stay the course for the rest of my life.”

Ron Henderson, The Fitness King, spoke at our company-wide all-employee meetings. He was the first speaker each of the two days. What a WONDERFUL way to start the day!

We have had other health and wellness speakers at these meetings…but none like Ron. His message was well-received by the employees. When our management team met the following week to critique the various speakers and sessions, Ron came out the “winner”.

In our organization, we run the gamut from business attire office employees to dirt-under-the-fingernails field employees. It can be difficult for a speaker to effectively connect with people with these diverse skill sets and personalities. That is a non-issue with Ron. He connected with everyone. His message was received well and I know several decided to make life-style changes after our sessions. I highly recommend bringing Ron into your organization. You will not regret it!
