Jim Ryan Talks Motivational Speaker from Franklin, TN

I am a motivational speaker who focuses on Happiness. My signature talk is "Managing Thought, the Key to Success in Business and in Life". I also have done talks on Leadership and Customer Service, both coming from the perspective of being at your best every day. I've found that I have the unique ability to turn profound, life-changing concepts into easily understood solutions. I got started in my speaking career back in the year 2000. I began volunteering in my local prison system teaching a course in Personal Development (I went there every Monday morning until Covid hit). That was a turning point for me. The men loved the program. At the end of each class they come up, shake my hand and thank me. It filled me up to go there. That overwhelmingly positive response of the men I teach prompted me to take my message to the public. I began speaking in libraries here on Long Island. People came and loved my programs. My talks have since taken me from Boston to California and from Montana to Atlanta and many many spots in between. My guitar playing and singing always serve to lighten up my presentations and solidify the concepts presented. My book, "Simple Happiness, 52 Easy Ways to Lighten Up" has inspired tens of thousands to live their best lives now. The book has proven to be a great add-on to my talks with the sponsors often purchasing a copy for each attendee. I continue to speak at Non-profits, corporations, conferences, churches, colleges, schools and associations. Attendees always leave excited about the possibilities of living a happier more joyful life.
