The Ladder of Influence with Ria Story

Leaders and Learners, a Sand and Shores Production

Sexually abused by her father from age 12-19 and trafficked by him, Ria left home at 19 without a job, money, or a high school diploma. Not only did she survive, she thrived. The ability to rise above our circumstances, increase our influence, and reach our potential begins with a mindset and strategy for success. Ria shares her compelling story of transformation from a trafficking victim to a top leadership trainer and TEDx speaker. “I believe everyone deserves access to life-changing tools of transformation, practical information, and real leadership principles they can apply to increase influence and improve circumstances at home, at work, and in life.” ~ Ria Story Ria is a certified leadership speaker, trainer, and author of 14 books.
