Ken Kirsh built a successful career producing award-winning live events and media for corporations, nonprofits, and major public audiences. Over the years, he has worked on hundreds of productions, including portions of the Winter Olympics, Super Bowl ceremonies, Pope Francis’s U.S. tour, and other large-scale events seen by millions.

 

A lifelong student of psychology, communication, and personal development, Ken became fascinated by a simple question: Why do some talented people move ahead quickly while others struggle despite working just as hard?

 

Time and again, he noticed the same pattern: Many of the skills that most influence success are rarely taught directly. They’re picked up slowly through experience, observation, mistakes, and social awareness — often years into a career.

 

Crush It At Work was created to close that gap.

 

In a fast-paced, highly visual format, the book delivers 50 overlooked workplace and interpersonal skills that can dramatically improve how people communicate, collaborate, build trust, and navigate professional life. The goal is simple: provide in one short, memorable read what often takes years to learn the hard way.

 

Whether entering the workforce for the first time, starting over, or simply looking to sharpen professional instincts, readers will gain practical insights into the real-world behaviors that quietly shape careers and relationships.

 

Ken’s mission is to make these often unspoken lessons more accessible through books, workshops, guest lectures, and conversations that help people better understand both themselves and the people around them.
