Driving leadership excellence and measurable results
Great leaders don’t settle for comfort; they seek challenge. That’s where Ryan Hawk comes in. Over the last decade, Ryan has distilled insights from over 700 interviews on The Learning Leader Show into powerful, actionable keynotes for Fortune 500 companies, high-growth startups, and world-class conferences.
- Real-world narratives pulled from 700+ in-depth leadership interviews
- Data-driven frameworks proven in Fortune 500 case studies

Ryan does not just motivate. He equips leaders with the mindset, tools, and clear next steps to raise their standards and lead with greater intention, both at work and at home.
Whether you’re planning a national sales meeting, a new year kickoff, or an offsite leadership retreat, Ryan’s talks connect deeply and drive measurable change.
“Ryan was the first person I reached out to when my company needed a speaker for an event. We were lucky enough to book him for an event that brought the sales teams from several of the companies under our umbrella together and he killed it.”

From inspiration to execution
The hard truth is that most keynote speeches entertain, motivate. And then? Nothing happens. Motivation fades, behaviors don’t change, and the team is back to where they started.
Meanwhile, expectations for leadership development are rising. CEOs and senior executives are not just looking for motivation. They want a measurable impact. They want speakers who challenge their teams to think differently, act boldly, and lead with intention.
This creates a powerful opportunity. The right keynote does not just inspire. It shifts mindsets. Raises standards and drives performance across the organization.
Ryan Hawk helps leaders make that shift. His keynotes are built for growth-focused teams ready to move from passive listening to active leadership.
To drive lasting change, Ryan challenges leaders to
- Think like high-performance coaches
- Lead with clarity, conviction, and curiosity
- Build cultures rooted in excellence and accountability
- Push their edges and challenge the status quo
Why traditional keynotes fall short
- Inspiration without application fades fast.
- Most talks lack frameworks for real-world execution.
- Audiences leave energized but unchanged.
- Leaders need more than stories. They need a strategy
Ryan’s approach bridges the gap
His talks combine compelling stories, scientific insight, and practical tools that leaders can use immediately. This is a pivotal moment. When teams shift from passive consumption to active transformation, everything changes:
- Leaders raise their standards at work and at home
- Teams become more intentional, focused, and resilient
- Organizations exceed performance targets
- Culture becomes a competitive advantage
The organizations that drive real results tomorrow will be led by those who raise their standards today.
