Learn to Lead: Guaranteed to Succeed

Richard J. Bryan became the reluctant CEO of his family’s high-profile business at the ripe and “not-so-ready” age of 28.  He faced huge challenges and made some impressive mistakes along the way. Now, he’d like to share highlights from his journey to help you. 

As a leadership keynote speaker, Richard goes beyond theory, to outline the 7 reality-tested leadership lessons he learned along the road to becoming a respected leader. Richard will share excerpts from his no-nonsense, leadership book Being Frank, to help you smooth out some of the bumps along your road to greatness.
