Speaker Bio

For over a decade, Ryan Botner has been passionate about one thing: helping people become the best version of themselves. Based in North Dakota, he currently serves clients throughout the Midwest and beyond. Whether through one-on-one coaching, group workshops, or keynote presentations, his mission remains the same: to help you live and lead with intention. As a business coach and speaker, Ryan has had the privilege of working with hundreds of leaders who want more from their lives and businesses. His journey into coaching and speaking wasn't planned—it was discovered. Like many entrepreneurs, he started his career thinking success was all about working harder and longer. He quickly learned that without intentionality, hard work alone leads to burnout rather than fulfillment.

The turning point came in Ryan's life when he discovered the power of intentional goal-setting. By writing down his goals and holding himself accountable every single day, Ryan transformed not just his business results, but his entire life. His productivity increased by 95%, his relationships improved, and he finally found the balance he had been searching for. This transformation was so profound that he couldn't keep it to himself. He began sharing these principles with fellow business owners, then at local events, and eventually on stages across the Midwest. Today, Cornerstone Speaking exists to help others experience the same transformation.
