Ryan Patel Speaking Topics

  • Cultivate a Global Entrepreneurial Mindset

    Entrepreneurs don't wait to adapt to change—they drive it. And with remote work dissolving boundaries right and left, any entrepreneur looking to scale their business and career needs to foster a more global mindset. In this talk, Ryan Patel shows you how, detailing why it's critical to think globally and how to put this new mindset into practice.

    Before showing how to layer on a more international perspective, Ryan shares how to evaluate your current mindset. He then goes over how to take advantage of your status as a remote worker to help yourself and others become more global thinkers. After helping you set your foundation, he provides tips for building your expertise through deep research, scaling your personal network, and signaling to the world that you're a leader who’s ready to build globally.

  • Entrepreneurship: Going Corporate or Franchise

    The perception of the term “franchise” has evolved dramatically from 10 years ago to now. Within the past several years, countries from all across the globe have sought and accepted a proliferation of franchise concepts from the United States and other developed countries. Franchises have been able to enter into many countries and grow at a rapid pace. New franchise opportunities become the focus of local news stories and weave their way into daily conversations in the local regions between customers, friends and even students in the classroom. Ryan Patel coaches entrepreneurs and provides guiding principles in evaluating opportunities.

  • Emerging Growth & Trends from Retail to Food

    How does fashion and food go together? Ryan Patel will explain the trends that are happening not just within the US, but on a global level. As someone who understands the retail business, he has quickly developed relationships and experiences with major department stores to the smallest food kiosks. He’ll explain how brands you love sometimes have strategies that intertwine.

  • Going Global: Ways to Develop Global Brands

    For many looking from the outside in, global expansion and entering new markets seems to be a “no brainer.” One can only wish it was that easy. The world is a large place with key differences from country to country which can support different business models. Ryan Patel will provide different strategies and illustrate key principles to provide stories and examples of other brands. Patel offers a unique and rare glimpse to audiences in balancing business development needs and protecting the brand. From lessons learned to shared values, global expansion appears to have a blank canvas with an unlimited amount of opportunities to add a splash of color.

  • Leadership & Influence: How to Empower & Succeed

    We live in a society where leaders do not have to just lead by example, but need to build highly effective teams to accomplish consistently higher goals. Ryan Patel has gained insight from many of the top CEOs and will take you on a journey from lessons learned and his philosophy in how to succeed. From the power of persuasion to cultivating entrepreneurial spirit within an organization, Patel will empower his audience in unique ways, easily accessible to entrepreneurs of all levels.
