Letter of Recommendation from Dr. James Rouse
Please know I am most hopeful that this letter finds you thriving and very well. It is with great pleasure and gratitude that I have the blessing and joy of sharing my excitement for the work of Kenneth Bigbee.
I have had the honor of sharing the speaking stage with Sir Richard Branson, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Arnold Schwarzenegger and others across the world. This past spring I had the opportunity to share the sage with Mr. Bigbee.
Mr. Bigbee is one of the most talented, engaging and inspiring presenters I have ever witnessed. His love for communing and communicating is powerful and palpable. His command of his craft in the space of human potential and performance is world class. But moreover and most importantly, Kenny is a man of impeccable integrity and character.
It is my blessing to share my appreciation of Mr. Bigbee and hope you have the pleasure of working with him and hearing his passion and purpose in person.
Thank you for your time and energy.

“Bigbee was able to take what appeared to be complicated techniques and make them simple through the use of his own brand of heuristics, which everyone could understand and apply. I have since incorporated what Bigbee taught me into my law enforcement and martial arts training, as few people really know what to do if they end up fighting on the ground… Bigbee and I have partnered together to provide leadership and conflict resolution services to corporations. I selected Bigbee as a partner due to his demonstrated competence, drive, and positive attitude.
Kenneth Bigbee is always looking to improve himself and others around him. I am honored to call him my teacher, my student, colleague, and, most of all, my friend.”
