When was the last time you said yes to an opportunity that you knew might fail? How polished is your talk track for why you shouldn’t take that leap of faith? And what has fear ultimately cost you? It is time to stand in the face of fear and know that these are the exact moments in life where you can rise to be your best self. So, ask yourself, “What would I do, if I knew I could not fail?” This is the question that leadership expert Ryan Leak is asking of leaders in Fortune 500s, all-stars in the NBA and over 50,000 people that he reaches monthly through his keynotes. Ryan shares the blueprint for Chasing Failure, rather than running from it, and ultimately achieving your biggest goals and dreams.
Ryan Leak is a sought-after speaker, workshop facilitator, and author with deep domain expertise in empowering leaders to reclaim responsibility for leadership and followership in the workplace by designing and delivering a new version of self-leadership that starts with self-awareness.
Rooted in the idea of Chasing Failure, and not being afraid of stretching further, Ryan has been hired by Fortune 500 companies and professional sports franchises to work internally with specialized teams, add value for leaders and their customers, and create new initiatives for the business to better connect with the broader world. Ryan trains 15,000+ entrepreneurial leaders and speaks to over 200,000 people each year as a curator of relevant content and transformational storytelling.
Seen as a commercially aware coach and connector who can seamlessly operate across the spectrum of a business, Ryan helps leaders better understand where their teams are capable of going by addressing the friction of where teams stand today. Using humorous wisdom and poignant narrative, he inspires audiences to recognize the value in chasing failure to become even more than they are – to become the best version of themselves.
Ryan uses his unique principle-based perspective as a keynote speaker to create significant value to organizations of all shapes and sizes that recognize the tremendous impact in responding to changes in employee mindset and expectations. Ryan’s virtual workshops and on-stage presentations have gone from an employee engagement perk to a massive competitive advantage for an organization.
Cultivating innovation by bringing in an outside entrepreneurial perspective, Ryan has taken notable residency positions teaching and speaking with popular churches such as Eagle Brook Church, Covenant Church, and X. Ryan is the CEO of the Ryan Leak Group, a leadership development firm. He lives in Dallas, Texas, with his wife Amanda and two sons, Jaxson and Roman.
