“Three words about Ryan: yes, yes and YES! Will we be looking to hire Ryan to speak at our events again? Yes! We want to expose as many people as possible to his passion, knowledge and actionable teaching. Did Ryan engage and teach something new to literally everyone in the audience? Yes! He somehow made two hours seem like fifteen minutes as financial advisors in the room took pages upon pages of notes. Has it been two months since our conference and are people at the office still talking about his keynote? YES! As one of the advisors put it ‘His message was simple yet thought provoking with a number of actionable items you could implement immediately into your personal and professional life.’ Applicable to everyone in the room, his presentation was fun and engaging, interesting and useful. Ryan is outstanding and we can’t wait to work with him again!” – IVANA POLONIJO, MANAGER, M FINANCIAL 

“I hired Ryan after being part of a morning education session to help create an effective narrative for a new Company Division I was soon to launch. Ryan’s pre-work, including interviewing my sales staff, helped me effectively launch my new division with success, and also increased sales in my existing 5 divisions. The value I received from Ryan far exceeded my expectations both on a personal and professional level. Hiring Ryan was money well spent with a quick return on my investment. He’s the best money I’ve spent on consultant help in years!” – Bruce Brady, Mellano Direct 

Ryan’s keynote presentation at our annual associate retreat was awesome!  He was able to present the basics of effective communication strategies in an entertaining and engaging format.  Our attendees especially enjoyed use of real-life examples, interactive demonstrations, and multimedia to reinforce his advice on both effective and ineffective storytelling.  His informal and humorous style was a great change of pace from the standard law firm business development and marketing sessions.  Ryan’s presentation was a great success and provided many takeaways that our associates can use on a daily basis. – Geoffrey B. Fehling, K&L Gates LLP

“We have a great startup culture at Jobs2Careers, and our officers believe in developing managers from within our ranks. We’ve had many employee trainings and presentations, and “Go from A to THE” with Ryan Avery was one of the best. It really spoke to us and our culture as a tech company—across all departments. Ryan is a lively, engaging and entertaining speaker. I can say with confidence that every one of us left Ryan’s session inspired to be THE best at our jobs.” – Neil Davis, HR Director, Jobs2Careers.com

“Hiring Ryan to speak at our annual Sales Conference was one of the best decisions we’ve made in the last 5 years. The first time I heard Ryan speak was in April of 2016 at Villanova University. He was invited to give his “Leading Through Storytelling” seminar to the Philadelphia Chapter of Entrepreneur’s Organization and I invited my National Sales Team Leader to join us. After 4 hours with Ryan we both left wondering if he had a seminar for our sales force. Taking away from that session: — A clear understanding of how communication directly affects every area of our lives and work — Simple, and incredibly effective tools to help sharpen our communication skills and therefore inspire people to take action — The understanding of the difference between being “A” Leader and being “THE” Lead “We quickly reached out to him and found out that he had a workshop for Sales Representatives called “Selling Through Storytelling.” Without thinking twice, we booked him immediately and I am so glad we did. In the two weeks since our conference our sales force not only raved about the lessons they learned but are still talking daily on our calls about Ryan’s key strategies they are implementing in accounts and daily calls. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND hiring Ryan for your organization no matter what the role of the group he is presenting to. I can promise you he will not only entertain, but he will add more value than you could ever expect.” – JOSEPH CARBERRY, EXECUTIVE TEAM LEADER, MEDICAL SOLUTIONS SUPPLIER

“Ryan goes far beyond what you pay for, packing so much value into a visit that you will want to immediately ask him back, and recommend him for additional talks. We did both, and can’t wait for his return.” – Greg Luft, Department Chair, Colorado State University

“Every company has an annual sales conference or annual event and every company needs to have Ryan Avery as their speaker at that event. You will not be disappointed! Our Association seldom brings in outside speakers and decided to hire Ryan Avery and I could not be happier. Everyone is still talking about Ryan’s session and I already see them implementing his strategies!” – Marcus Sheanshang, President + CEO, JBM Packaging

“Such a powerful message with tactful strategies I can use while training executives. This message adds to my toolbox of resources to build employee engagement and to ensure messages stick! Thank you so much Ryan!” – ILONA MALENKORICH, COMMUNICATIONS MANAGER, INTEL

“I hired Ryan for the day to train my executive and management team so they could significantly improve their communication skills and work more cohesively as a team. I had VPs, senior staff, sales professionals and junior leaders in the training to emphasize that communicating to multiple levels of the organization effectively is vital for success. The results have been fantastic and my employees are actively utilizing the skills Ryan introduced. His insight on the difference between A leader and THE leader spotlights how to drive a team to go from mediocre performance to best in class. I would highly recommend Ryan’s full day training. The ROI on this investment is easily measured and has shown positive returns quicker than I ever could have imagined! In reference to Jim Collins, if you want your organization to go from Good to Great; Ryan’s program is an excellent place to start.” – CHRIS WYSE, PRESIDENT AND COO OF PROJECTS UNLIMITED INC.

“I hired Ryan to keynote our annual sales summit and man did he deliver! Our sales teams loved his high energy, and real world strategies! Ryan got a standing ovation from my sales team, and they told me what a great job I did picking him! Ryan is the keynote speaker you want at your conference because he adds value, ties his keynote to your audience, and is incredibly easy to work with!” – Scott Gordon President & CEO, Open Mortgage

“Wow and wow! We hired Ryan to keynote our annual Baird & Warner conference, and also do a special session with our top broker associates. We were all absolutely blown away! He is the easiest speaker to work with in the business and offers so much value that I still have my team coming up to me thanking me for bringing Ryan out! It was the first conference I have attended where I looked around the room during his keynote and no one was looking at their phones, they were all listening to Ryan and taking notes because they didn’t want to miss one thing! Ryan is amazing, engaging and truly cares about making sure he delivers THE best keynote for your conference! He did for us, and we can’t wait to work with him again!” – Laura Ellis, President, Residential Sales, Baird & Warner

“Ryan is a true pro and was exceptionally prepared.  He has an amazing presence and inspired a tough crowd to action.  Our members have already created two Ryan Avery roundtables since this session… I have not seen a reaction like this from our membership in years.  And easily one of the highest speaker scores this year.  Can’t wait to have you back to EO New York!” – Jon Tota, Learning Chair EO New York

“Ryan Avery is so good on stage right now, he could be wearing capri paints and nobody would care!”
