Lead Confidently

I help emerging executives make the transition from player to coach

Hi, I'm Ryan: Professional Leadership Coach

A new role and bigger scope often comes with some nasty voices:

What should I be doing? Am I doing it right? If anyone paid attention would they have given me this job?

I will help you silence those voices and strengthen your leadership abilities:

  • Working on the business, not just in the business
  • Owning your seat at the leadership table
  • Zooming out to longer term strategy
  • Conquering imposter syndrome
  • Motivating and grow your team
  • Making time for your own development

When you work with me, you'll benefit from my years of experience but you don't just get advice (who listens to advice, anyway?).

We explore the assumptions and habits that are so well integrated into your brain that they're invisible -- the blind spots that are in your way.

That's where real change happens and that's what sets me apart.

If this sounds interesting, let's connect.

Working Together Is Better Experienced Than Explained

If you ever get the opportunity to work with Ryan, it will be transformational in the best way possible. He is thoughtful, thorough, and asks the hard-hitting questions that help you get to the root of a problem and find progress"

    • What My Clients Say

    Justin Tsang

    Growth Product Manager at ClearBit

    Ryan has made a real, tangible difference on my personal and professional lives. With him as my coach, I've been able to break down and get to the roots of my most potent struggles and insecurities, and then create custom, yet universal frameworks to use to overcome them. We worked week/week to track and make incremental progress - always staying organized + never losing sight of overall goals. Most importantly though, I could always rely on him to coach with empathy, understanding, and relatability.

    Mike Krohn

    Digital Solution Program Manager, Philips

    I strongly recommend reaching out to Ryan to start taking control of your future. He can help you move from a place of ambiguity with many competing priorities, to a place of focus and clarity. His deep understanding of human behavior creates a space for an honest, direct, and engaged process to take place. He provided me with book references, videos, readings, and homework, all of which were followed by discussions about how I was or was not able to apply what I learned between meetings.


    Jennifer Pepper

    Director, Content Marketing at Shogun

    Ryan is an exceptional leadership coach. He has thorough, formal training for guiding you through highly-regarded Hudson coaching frameworks, and his personal background across wellness, leadership, and education makes his perspective especially nuanced and valuable—looking at your growth from more than a career-only lens. Far more than just an empathetic champion, he prompts clients out of comfort zones with focused insights you don’t typically get with standard 360 feedback. Can’t say enough about his impact on leaders!

    Shayne Burgess

    Staff Engineering Manager, GitHub Codespaces

    would highly recommend reaching out to Ryan if you are a leader looking to bring focus and clarity to your career goals and behaviors. I find the process incredibly valuable and I would recommend anyone looking to make the next step in their career to reach out to Ryan and work with him.

    Larry Todd

    Vice President Sales at LeadsRx

    One aspect that I sets Ryan apart is his genuine dedication to his clients' success. I believe everyone he works with would get the sense that they are his highest priority client. He invests the time to truly understand your ambitions - both personal and professional as they often intertwine - and goes above and beyond to support you.

    Judy Thai-Kennedy

    Senior Manager, HR at STEMCELL Technologies

    I highly recommend Ryan for his outstanding work as a leadership coach. I participated in the Positive Intelligence Program under Ryan's facilitation and his ability to push the group through conventional thinking, build on internal strengths and help each of us identify blockers that imped our own potential was remarkable. Under his guidance, I experienced a transformative shift in my outlook. His expertise, passion, dedication, and ability to inspire growth is truly extraordinary.
