Ryan Avery Biography

Ryan Avery is an organizational psychologist and Emmy Award-winning journalist recognized for his expertise in strategic communication and leadership development. Avery became the youngest World Champion of Public Speaking in history, competing against more than 30,000 contestants from 116 countries to claim the World Championship for Toastmasters International. His journey to the title began after he identified a gap in his personal achievements and dedicated months to studying public speaking, ultimately leading to his historic win.

Avery has researched, implemented, and taught principles of leadership and communication, focusing on the concept of going from "A" to "THE" in professional and personal performance. He has served as Director of Marketing for a major sports nonprofit and has consulted for Fortune 500 companies. Avery launched his own firm, applying strategies developed during his tenure with organizations such as Nike and Special Olympics, where he managed events, fundraising campaigns, and high-performing teams in sports marketing.

With a background in industrial-organizational psychology, Avery works with organizations, leadership teams, and C-suite executives to enhance efficiency, effectiveness, and influence through advanced communication strategies. His research in organizational psychology and psycholinguistics examines how language shapes leadership, motivation, trust, and performance. Avery is the co-author of "Speaker, Leader, Champion," which analyzes winning speeches from Toastmasters' annual competition and offers practical communication techniques. He has also authored "Motivating Millennials" and other titles, with his work translated into multiple languages.

Avery has delivered more than 1,000 keynote presentations and leadership programs across more than 33 countries, collaborating with clients such as Nike, Toyota, Nissan, Safeway, and Bank of America. His approach integrates evidence-based business insights and actionable strategies, supporting organizations in leadership development, communication skills, and organizational effectiveness.
