Passion on Purpose
This Ryan Estis keynote experience will review the essence of cultivating a high engagement, high performance work culture and challenge conventional leadership philosophy with emphasis on innovation and strategy that offers the audience ‘actionable content′ to impact the organization immediately.

As we prepare for the next growth cycle our approach to work style design is being transformed. Globalization, commoditization, generational and technological drivers are accelerating change and introducing new challenges to the way we acquire and engage employees and customers. Understanding the attitude and expectations of today′s workforce is mission critical to building the sustainable talent advantage necessary to compete in today′s marketplace. Our premise is passion at work occurs most often when the right person, in the right job is supported through very intentional and strategic action by an organization. Where leadership is aligned with the mission, vision and values and employees are the ultimate extension of the brand.

Our examples emphasize Authentic leadership; Open communication; Trust; Personal growth and development; Recognition and fun; Customer evangelism and bottom line business results.

Generation NeXt
Today’s business leaders are now faced with balancing the ideas, attitudes, values and work styles of 4 distinct generations. The identity and ideology conflicts are on the rise as the burgeoning millennial generation arrives in the workplace with an evolved set of expectations about employment and their opportunity to have an impact from day one.

Bridging generational gaps to build more awareness, understanding, unity and knowledge transfer will help the progressive organization drive a competitive advantage through corporate culture. Generational diversity, if managed properly, can add to an organizations innovation and brand identity. But change is never easy. Generation NeXt is arriving in the workplace and posing significant challenges to traditional workplace values and structure.

This keynote experience will offer entertaining insights into key attitude and behavioral trends along the generational divide with progressive insights into the future of work. Traditional work style design will be challenged considering global competition, hyper connectivity and the evolving expectations of today’s employee population. Business leaders will emerge better prepared to assimilate and leverage talent toward a sustainable and competitive advantage.

The Brand Experience
Our employees, customers and colleagues want to be inspired. A more meaningful experience is often the catalyst for success! How can you elevate interest through experience design? How can culture and community drive growth? Why are certain brands a lighting rod of pride and evangelism among their members? How can you communicate an increasingly authentic, differentiated and compelling value proposition that you can deliver consistently?

This high energy, high impact keynote will answer these questions and introduce actionable content to elevate the relationships you have with your most important stakeholders: employees and customers.

A brand is a promise about an experience that creates expectations. Ryan will transform thinking by teaching organizations how to close the “expectations gap”, build trust, own a unique and repeatable experience and elevate emotional engagement to earn more commitment.

Accelerate growth by paying more attention to HOW you do whatever it is you do, understanding that WHAT you do is increasingly becoming a commodity. Companies that win today understand how to brand the experience.

Release Your Inner Super Hero
Everyone has a Superhero inside of them and is capable of discovering and delivering their very best work. This Ryan Estis keynote experience helps people tap into their own potential and work through the inevitable failure, fear, doubt, stress, uncertainly and insecurity that eventually show up in our work and life. This typically involves some introspection and understanding that most Superhero’s don’t do it for fame and fortune. Typically, it is a higher calling. One filled with meaning and mastery. Passion and purpose.

This is a message about personal performance, productivity and helping organizations, managers and individual contributors tap into the potential that exists inside each of us. We are living through an incredible period of challenge and change. Ryan teaches us how to lean into this moment as an opportunity, embrace what is next and new, focus inside out and let go of the things we cannot control to achieve more success, happiness and well being.

The Social Shift (or Social Selling)
Social media has introduced new channels to effectively communicate and influence culture and engagement, and these new trends will continue to transform our approach to workplace and customer relationships. This high energy, multi-media and interactive keynote experience is designed to elevate the understanding and opportunity associated with social media and marketing strategy.
