Comments & Testimonials

"Ryan has a unique talent and style that brings a fabulous dimension to both virtual and in-person events. He is authentic, passionate, entertaining, emotional and practical with his storytelling and is always willing to share personal experiences that really engage audiences. I would highly recommend Ryan as a speaker."

CEO - Wellbeing at Work Conference

"Ryan was incredible – so much energy, passion and a perfect blend of great personal storytelling alongside pragmatic tips for us all to take better care of our wellbeing. Ryan was honest about his own experiences with neurodiversity, and this was hugely inspiring; his vulnerability has given our colleagues the opportunity and platform to share their own experiences too which is so powerful. We had a record colleague turnout for Ryan’s talk – even more special when it’s our busiest business period. 2 days later we’re still on a high."

Inclusion and Diversity Manager - Kingfisher

"Just wanted to say how much I appreciated your call with Unily today. Even though I don’t vocalise too much I have had my own struggles that still effect me every day and have a lot of compassion for anyone speaking out on normalising the conversation. I am definitely taking a couple of pointers from your talk. Sometimes it’s simple things but a bit of a refresher put things in perspective and that’s exactly what happened to me today."
