Where can I help?

Hi, I'm Ryan!

I help YOU turn attention into impact.

Change begins with seeing.

MY STORY

Over the last two decades I've started three nonprofits, built three businesses, and wrote twenty two books.

Then in 2020, I burned out.

I found a disconnect between my heart, head, hands, and habits. The person I wanted to be, what I believed, and how I lived were out of sync.

Something had to change.

Through counseling, spiritual direction, and hard conversations with my wife, family, and friends we reverse engineered our lives.

I'm here to share what I'm learning on the other side of burn out, pain, loss, and fresh starts.

I help people pay attention to what matters most to thrive in work and life.

"Attention is our proper and endless work." -Mary Oliver

Hear what my students, and coaching clients have to say:

Dr. Thien Doan

Ryan has been a great mentor and inspiration to me. He has helped me overcome many of my personal hurdles and roadblocks. He understands the real-life struggles of the writing life, as he is a writer himself. I especially benefitted from learning his 7 Step Story Structure, which helped me get unstuck with my current writing project. Whether you're an aspiring author working on your first book, or you're an author who is stuck on a project, I highly recommend Ryan as your new writing coach.

I truly appreciate Ryan's commitment to helping other writers succeed. Not only is the course incredibly informative from a practical standpoint but is also full of wisdom, motivation and encouragement. This isn't a “get rich” scheme. It a general blueprint for authors to find success – but we have to sit down and be willing to do the work.

Danielle Larkin

Ryan is always wonderful to work with, communicative, provides everything promptly and is responsive. Look forward to working with him again.
