What Others Say
“Kevin Kennemer delivered his “Power of Positive People Practices” presentation to our IAAP group. The information contained in the presentation was tremendous and many of our members walked away with great benefits they took back to their workplaces. However, the most powerful part of the presentation was Kevin’s ability to teach and entertain. He is artful in his delivery and truly engages his audience. We look forward to his return.”
Terrie Scott, CPS, CWCA
President, Will Rogers Chapter, IAAP“Right from the start it was obvious for me that Kevin Kennemer of The People Group is passionate about the importance of creating and maintaining a positive workplace culture. Recently, Kevin graciously accepted an invitation to speak about workplace culture at the Tulsa Area Call Center Round Table. He created and delivered a great presentation about creating and maintaining “a jerk-free work place”. The presentation was well received by all. Kevin’s down to earth, approachable style was refreshing.”

“Kevin Kennemer is truly dedicated to promoting civilized behavior in the workplace! Kevin visited my graduate-level HR class to talk with my students about positive people practices. The students and I truly enjoyed his talk as Kevin is one of those presenters who is uniquely adept at engaging his audience with just the right mix of research-based evidence, illustrative anecdotes, and humorous stories. His presentation made a lasting impact on my students regarding how effective (or ineffective) management of human resources can make (or break) an organization.”
