Thank you, I told others and will tell everyone reading along you were the best speaker we had in my 7 years of attendance hands down.

–Caldwell Banker Commercial

The team was buzzing today. They were all so complimentary of you and are ready to put to action the tools you provided. You have quite a gift and I’m thankful that you were able to spend time with my team today! You rocked it.

–Equifax

Ryan Estis is absolutely one of our favorite conference speakers.  He has been a keynote for us two years in a row and regardless of whether he was scheduled at the end of day two or the beginning of day one (we have a three day event), Ryan showed up with dynamic energy and super compelling content. He is very engaging with relevant stories that connect the audience on an emotional level. He has talked about leadership, customer service and brand experience (great stories around this one!), and core values – customized for our audience members who are independent pharmacy owners.  I would say you certainly cannot go wrong with Ryan Estis on your speaking agenda.  Please let me know if you would like any other specific feedback – as you can see, we at PDS are huge Ryan fans!

–Pharmacy Development Services

Your were AWESOME at the session on Wednesday at AHRMM. I could have listened to you all day and you were spot on. I currently work at HealthTrust and do hope we can have you speak at our annual meeting or one of our meetings. Great work on employee engagement!!! You really inspired me so much! I do communicate with my team, but have my first weekly email ready to send tomorrow to talk about my meeting at AHRMM, our accomplishments, and other information. Such a great idea. Thanks again!!

–Association for Healthcare Materials Management

I had the pleasure of hearing you speak at SilkRoad Connection’s conference last week. I gotta tell you, your one hour presentation was life changing. My hats off to you for being able to grab and keep the audience. Here’s to changing lives – one at a time. I hope and pray for all the best for you — and may you continue to meet many Lily’s in your journeys ahead.

–SilkRoad User Conference

I thought Ryan was just terrific. He was fresh and had great specifics to back up what he was saying. Those stories resonate more than just a list of buzz words.  Clearly he was a professional speaker and for the caliber of audience our chapter is – it was perfect. I can imagine he was more than we “usually” spend, but so worth it. And geez – with attendance like that – we can afford to spend more once in a while (I hope). Honestly, so worth my time to be there for him alone – besides all the good friends and networking. He hit a HOMERUN.

–SITE CA

First and foremost THANK YOU for delivering exactly what this audience needed. You not only engaged out client audience, but my MassMutual senior leadership team and colleagues all complemented your content and delivery and I feel they too all had a great “experience” to take away with them.  One of the most challenging, yet rewarding parts of my job is trying to find a keynote speaker that will not only deliver something of value, but do so in an energetic way with such integrity and enthusiasm.  I was actually sitting on my couch one February day, snowed in when I found you on the internet and the rest was history.  Thank YOU for actually delivering something that my senior leadership trusts in ME to bring to our events!

–Mass Mutual

Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts and inspiration at our closing session of the SHRM Conference today.  It was an outstanding ending to two jam-packed days.  Your knowledge, sincerity and authenticity shone through in a way that elevated everything that you said.  Specifically, I appreciated your admonition to make a “TAN” plan, and the suggestion is keeping me from rushing back to home and work today.  Instead, I am going to find a quiet place to think, process what I learned, marinate with some ideas that have come up for me, and make my own TAN plan to guide my actions in the coming weeks. Thank you for the ways you have inspired me today.  It was the perfect ending to the conference. Go have a lovely time with your mother, and be sure to tell her that you KNOW you impacted lives and changed the world today!
