“Storytelling for Success Workshop: Ryan led the workshop for my company's ERG, Asians in Action. Our surveys suggested the members resonated with the material and learnt from it. The format of the workshop, even though virtual, encouraged participation and communication via breakout rooms. He made sure to keep groups small so everyone was involved and shared ( we had 200+ attendees). He also made sure the material generated value/worked for this specific audience. This is the second time Ryan led a session with us and hope to have him back soon. Highly recommend Ryan for corporate ERG events and beyond. He is an incredible speaker and has created great workshops.”
“Overcoming Toxic Invisibility for Asian American Presentation: The material and content was clear and engaging. As a participant who is not from the AAPI community, I appreciated his exercises, stories, and content. I wish there was more time! I wanted to hear more! Ryan would be great for any corporate, higher education, non-profit, or community organization looking for an SME with best practiced research.”
“Our Asian Pacific American Employee Resource Group had the pleasure of working with Ryan to host him on a Overcoming Toxic Invisibility Workshop. Ryan was very intentional to understand our community to tailor his content to ensure it resonated with the audience. In a virtual environment it can be hard to engage, but Ryan made it interactive to feel as if we were all together. I highly recommend working with Ryan! He is down to earth and intelligent, a deadly combo that makes him an engaging speaker.”
“Ryan Takemiya is an excellent professional speaker. His storytelling workshop is incredibly educational, insightful, relatable, and really opened my eyes to the power of my own stories and the potential for strengthening my own voice in the workplace (and beyond!). The exercises that he had us do as part of his workshop were all fun and enjoyable and his own stories were deeply moving. I highly recommend him as a talented, engaging presenter and professional speaker, especially for corporate Employee Resource Groups. He was wonderful in making everyone feel welcome, comfortable, and excited to learn.”
