**********************************************************************

Ryan spends his time in the trenches with managers who’ve been promoted for technical excellence and are now expected to lead humans. Through XM Performance and the XM Leadership Academy, he helps them make that jump, from “good individual contributor” to “leader who sets direction, coaches well, and builds a healthy culture.” His work sits at the intersection of leadership development, emotional intelligence, and practical performance training.

He also speaks and trains on burnout, a topic your clients are already dealing with across their leadership teams. Ryan doesn’t approach burnout as a vague wellness topic; he treats it as a performance, communication, and culture issue that can be addressed with the right habits and systems.

That lens is very relevant for consulting firms that want longer-term, higher-value relationships with their clients’ leadership teams.

For consulting firm owners, this conversation is a chance to see how a leadership specialist designs training, supports behavior change, and keeps clients engaged over time.

We’ll dig into how Ryan structures his offers, how he works with growing organizations (including healthcare and SMBs), and what you can borrow to improve your own firm’s internal leadership and client impact.

Proposed Interview Structure:

1. Ryan, what first pulled you into leadership and human performance work, and when did you realize this was going to be your professional path?

2. In your experience, what leadership challenges do organizations struggle with the most today, and what made those particular issues meaningful for you to focus on?

3. Who do you find yourself working with most often, in terms of industries, company size, or decision-makers, and what makes those clients the right fit for your approach?

4. When new clients find you, what usually brings them your way, keynotes, referrals, leadership academies, and which channels have proven most reliable in your world?

5. Leadership work can require real buy-in. When an organization is interested but cautious, how do you typically help them gain clarity and decide to move forward?

6. Once you start working with a team, what strategies do you use to ensure your clients stay engaged and continue working with you over the long term?

7. Every consultant and coach hits an edge of growth from time to time. Where do you find yourself stuck at the moment (if at all)?

8. Looking ahead, where do you see the biggest openings in leadership and human performance, particularly for consultants who want to deepen their impact with clients?
