Infectious enthusiasm coupled with business savvy and humor, packaged in engaging programs such as "How to Communicate with Everyone Who Isn't You" and "Motivation by Chocolate," Denise Ryan is known for keeping an audience rapt. Her presentations fire up attendees while providing concrete ideas to improve their professional and personal lives.

She is a Certified Virtual Presenter and has worked with hundreds of associations across the us and Canada. She is also a former AENC Board member and winner of the Patsy B. Smith award. Denise truly understands associations.
She was honored to make Meetings and Conventions Magazine's list of planners' favorite speakers along Bill Clinton, Daniel Pink and Anderson Cooper.
But listen to her audience:
"I have been in Sales & Marketing for over 25 years and have heard some really good speakers. I have to say, you were one of the best motivational speakers I have ever personally heard. Your presentation on enthusiasm was excellent. It was motivating, uplifting and downright entertaining and let me not forget, funny as all get out" Gina Burnett, LA Chamber.
