Bio
Jill Tracy, MBA, PhD candidate
Ryan is a fantastic coach. We had a number of sessions together as part of a Career Talent Exchange award I earned at Microsoft. Ryan coached me through big career transitions as I managed a team of high performing sales operations leaders. He helped me prioritize areas to focus on and was a great sounding board - offering a different lens through which to see challenges and opportunities. Ryan is patient, compassionate, direct, and supportive. He's a great listener and shares thoughtful insights and ideas. His coaching is top notch and he helped me achieve excellent results. I would strongly recommend his services to anyone seeking to further develop themselves and move their career forward.

As a group trainer, few people have the whole package: engaging, relevant and valuable. Ryan is one of those few. I've been fortunate enough to work with Ryan in the capacity of colleague as well as a client relationship, and his ability to capture and engage a room of people from the stage and speak to them in way that they understand and that's valuable to them is second to none. I'd recommend Ryan highly as a sales & productivity trainer/coach and speaker for corporate meetings.
