Rebecca Ryan

Speaking Services

If you're looking for a speaker who is "high-content" and "high energy," Rebecca Ryan fits the bill.

Part economist, part humorist, Rebecca makes data dance.  (And sometimes she dances, too!) 

Richard Florida, author of the best selling The Rise of the Creative Class and a rock star economist says, "I am a HUGE Rebecca Ryan fan.  If you've ever seen Rebecca speak, as I have, you know that she has an engaging and cutting edge style of giving companies and comunities realistic and candid advice."

Maybe that's why Women in Communication named her "Communicator of the Year," and why she was a semi-finalist in Fast Company magazine's Fast 50 Awards.  Rebecca commands attention — and delivers clear take-home value - to CEO's, Executive Directors, Mayors, Governors, elected officials, and large assemblies committed to building better places to live and work...for the next generation, and all generations.

When you hire Rebecca for your event, she won't:

• Read her slides to the audience;
• Act like a demanding diva before, during or after the event;
• Project charts with 12-point font and expect the audience to see it;
• Insult your audience or their intelligence.

Here's what Rebecca will do (and has done consistently for audiences around the world since 1998):

• Tell the truth about what it takes to engage the next generation.  (And when the truth is hard to hear, she'll make it funny.)
• Make data dance.  Rebecca knows that executives love numbers, but she takes it a step further and animates the research with stories, wit and insight about how NGC's clients make that data come to life;
• Have fun, and help your attendees see their strengths as the next generation sees them; and
• Invest more time after her presentation with the key decision makers who can help bring about change.  In this smaller, more intimate meeting, Rebecca welcomes a candid discussion where key officials can ask the tough questions, and she can offer more specific advice and counsel.

Rebecca's message and speaking style is not for everyone.  If you have uptight, change-resistant participants who can't laugh, and aren't willing to make investments in their future, please stop reading right now and google "speakers who make us feel comfortable with the status quo."

Rebecca Ryan’s speaking fee depends on event/client location, date, presentation(s) and audience. Please contact us to get a quote for your event. You may also be interested in another dynamic NGC speaker .

Testimonials

"Even leaders of 'Great Places to Work' sometimes need someone to turn to for advice on how to keep the next generation stoked about work.  For us, Rebecca and her team at NGC are our go-to people.  They've provided us with data to direct our recruiting efforts, and have gently gotten me back on course when I've made minor missteps.  Any firm committed to being a great workplace has NGC in their smartphone."

- Andy Armanino, Managing Partner, Armanino McKenna, one of the San Francisco Bay Area's "Best Places to Work," 2002-2008
