Ryan works with sports teams and businesses at the highest levels (NFL, NCAA, massive brands, etc.). And, it’s important for you to know, the material he teaches is relevant to any leader in any organization – regardless of your size, geographic location, tenure, or industry.
His lessons are applicable everywhere from the boardroom, to the field, to the kitchen table; his teaching is extremely practical and simple to understand and implement. Takeaway here is you will leave his program feeling inspired, and you’ll be armed with tangible, tactical practices you can put to use immediately – which for any organization is very powerful. This is a key difference that separates Ryan from most speakers, especially technical academics. He’s a hands-on teacher, and his talks come with much more than just a keynote.
The short story is Ryan's program, which is best described as a large group coaching session, is the foundation of how they grow their client’s culture as the company scales. It's called the Psychology of Leadership: Are You Worth Following? and it's all about getting teams to communicate their needs and become solutions-focused; he teaches what it means (the mindset) and what it takes (the how; their Guiding Principles) to be a leader worth following. It's a heady subject, and when you hear how he does it, things get very real very fast. It's unforgettable.
As mentioned, this is much more than a standard keynote. In fact, if you're looking for someone to just come in and deliver a talk, and then leave, this is not the event for you.
