Ryan Leak Speaking Topics

  • STRENGTHENING DIVERSITY EQUITY, AND INCLUSION IN YOUR ORGANIZATION

    Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are more important now than ever before. And here’s why: Only 50% of the U.S. population under the age of 18 is Caucasian. The data tells us by 2045, that will be the case for all ages. The future of your organization is a lot more diverse whether you prefer it that way or not. In light of your future customer base and your human resources, diversity, equity, and inclusion are conversations you desperately need to have a great understanding of. It can’t be something that’s simply on paper. It can’t be something of just hiring more people of color. It’s one thing to give a person of color a job. It’s another thing to give them a voice of influence at a decision-making table.

  • SELF-LEADERSHIP: 7 Tools to Help You Lead Yourself Better & Inspire Others

    Have you ever wondered, “What’s it like for people to be led by me?” When someone is hired to be a leader in an organization, what often doesn’t come with the gig is a leader… for the leader. One of the biggest hurdles leaders face is not actually leading people but leading themselves. Most leaders are often given titles with very little vision. They’re often given expectations with very little direction. The old saying rings true. It’s lonely at the top. Leaders desperately need a go-to strategy and system they can rely on when they feel like they’ve got no one in their corner to guide them.

    Through his consulting work, Ryan Leak has been guiding 15,000+ C-Suite leaders every year through 7 key steps toward better self-leadership that leads to better people and organizational leadership.

  • CHASING FAILURE: What Our Goals Require Most is the Bravery to Fail

    What would you do if you knew you could not fail? Chasing Failure is all about having a vision for a dream, a goal, a mission, and knowing that the road will be paved with failure, but still proceeding with conviction and passion. This is what sets those who succeed beyond measure, from those who simply exist. The fear of failure will keep you inside a box, stall innovation, and make sure you hesitate anytime you even think about taking a risk that could help you achieve goals beyond your wildest dreams. As leadership expert Ryan Leak shares, you don’t actually have to get over the fear. Just do it scared and take really good notes.

    When you’re Chasing Failure, you’re either going to win or you’re going to learn. Hopefully, both will happen. Ryan shares the blueprint for success by giving you an approach to see what the predictable failures might be, so you can circumvent those more easily, or deal with them more effectively when they arise.

  • Unoffendable

    Offense is an event. Staying offended is a choice. When we don't deal with it in the workplace, it impacts our productivity and our ability to connect with our colleagues.

  • Conflict Resolution

    Most people believe conflict is a sign of unhealthy relationships, but, in fact, conflict is who we all grow. Instead of running away from or avoid conflict, I want to encourage you to embrace it.

  • How to Get What You Really Want

    The problem with what we believe we want now is our history of what we wanted is flawed. The car we wanted 10 years ago isn't one we'd want now. The clothes we wanted so bad 20 years ago, we'd burn today. Most people don't discover what they really want until their 60s. And what they find out is that what they really want is a legacy. The one way we can all get what we really want is simple: generosity. If you make your life about giving, you'll always have a story to tell and someone will always have a story to tell about you.
