Frank C. Kitchen, CSP, is an award winning retail manager, trainer, college educator, performer and motivational speaker known as the "Mindset Master Chef." He works with organizations who want to fire up the performance of their teams.

Born in Bad Kreuznach, Germany, Frank Kitchen spent over twenty years educating, energizing and empowering thousands of students and professionals how to transform their loftiest aspirations into reality. On Father's Day weekend 2015, Frank's world changed when he was fired by his employer. That weekend, the expectant father "flipped his mindset" and committed to cooking up the 5-star performance masterpiece he'd been dreaming about for years...to become a professional speaker.

After years spent sampling a variety of employment and volunteer opportunities, it was time for Frank to share his F.R.E.S.H. mindset recipe for cooking up the professional dreams you hunger for with the world. The same recipe he would use to go from unemployed, to being recognized as one of the top professional speakers on the planet by the National Speakers Association in 2022.

Today Frank is a highly sought after keynote speaker for organizations who want to fire up the performance of their teams. All of his "Kitchen Inspired" programs on mindset and workplace culture are interactive learning experiences that demonstrate how to flip your mindset and cook up the dreams you and your team hunger for!

A graduate of Lakeland Community College (A.A.) and David N. Myers University (B.S), Frank is the author of Fresh from the Kitchen, 44 Tasty Techniques to Cook Up the Professional Dreams You Hunger For and52 Ways to Shine, Discovering Your Value and Leaving an Impact. Frank is also the 3rd African American on the planet to be recognized as a fundraising auctioneer.

When he isn't speaking, Frank serves as a volunteer and board chair for the non-profit organization Hustle PHX / Hustle USA. Their team of staff and volunteers provide aspiring entrepreneurs in underserved urban communities with the resources needed to start and operate thriving businesses.
