Common Topics
Building Thriving Ministry and Leadership Teams
Sold on the promise of teams but frustrated with the reality of ineffective groups that get little done and fail to gel into any sort of cohesive team?
Based on my work in Teams That Thrive, I’ve invested in nearly 10,000 leaders across the United States and throughout the world to build thriving teams. I’d love to help equip your teams to grow healthy and effective, too!
Running Fantastic Meetings
Tired of pointless meetings that drag on, getting virtually nothing done and leaving attendees frustrated and fatigued?
Learn how to set the stage for great meetings, facilitate gatherings with focus and purpose, and follow-up to ensure action and constant improvement.
Cultivating a Thriving Small Group Ministry
Keen to invigorate a small groups program that results in individual spiritual growth in the context of community?
Based on our work in Leading Small Groups That Thrive, I can help you take stock of your current ministry and inspire and equip your leaders to take your groups — and your entire ministry — to the next level of health and effectiveness.
CUSTOMIZED CONSULTING
Ryan provides customized consulting solutions with teams in churches, businesses, and non profit organizations, typically with regard to transitioning to team-based leadership, building stronger teams throughout the organization, assessing and developing small group ministry effectiveness, facilitating strategic planning, and increasing cross-functional collaboration and employee engagement.
ENDORSEMENTS
“Through Ryan’s excellent training on Leadership Teams, our mission organization has benefited significantly from his research, insights, and passion. Who would have thought that Teams That Thrive could not just be applied in churches but also be applied within a diverse, multi-lingual, and multi-ethnic missional environment as well? We are grateful for Ryan’s willingness to come all the way to Africa to expose and challenge us with this Biblical model of leadership teams.”
ROD KRAYBILL
Training & Leadership Development Coordinator, African Inland Mission International
“We found Ryan to be incredibly knowledgeable on the subject of collaborative teams, but it was his practitioner-focused delivery and interaction with attendees that fostered a deeper engagement and led to real world application that was most appreciated by our attendees. His energy, wit, and conversational style made for a terrific presentation even during the dreaded after-lunch sessions!”
JUSTIN PICKARD
Regional Youth Coordinator, Nazarene Youth International USA/Canada
“Teamwork helps you do more and do it better and faster. Rather than merely talking about the value of teams, Ryan shows how they can be built for optimal performance. We were SO blessed by him and his teaching. We thank Ryan for taking a weekend to pour into our leaders. I'm excited to see how what we learned will be applied in various ministries throughout our church.”
