Impact Advising

Ryan has collaborated with dozens of startups, governments, non-governmental organizations, corporations, academic institutions, and innovation hubs with diverse technologies, stakeholders and funding sources. In the classroom, he taught students to critically evaluate ESG, CSR, and SDGs initiatives based on Incentives, Inputs, Outputs, Outcomes, and Impact metrics that influence the health of people and our planet. Finally and fundamentally, Ryan integrates Yogic & Buddhist philosophy & tools into his teaching, coaching, and mentorship.

As a result of his practical and academic experiences, Ryan has a deep well of insights, best practices, tools, networks, and stories which can serve you, your team, and your mission. Impact Advisory offerings include at least one of the following:

• Strategic Sounding Board Sessions with Leadership team members to surface patterns, opportunities, and priorities amidst complexity.

• Documentation Review providing iterative constructive critiques on grant proposals, slide decks, white papers, project plans, M&E frameworks, logic models, funding reports, product requirement documents, websites, etc.

• Ad hoc Coaching with key Impact team members (e.g. leadership, project managers, researchers, interns, product leads) as they find their footing within your team and culture.

• Retreats & Workshops Facilitation that dig deep into strategic themes or issues (e.g. exploring strategic expansion to environment/climate issues, team culture/values, impact metrics/frameworks, stakeholder-vision alignment).
