Gary Ryan

Gary Ryan is the owner and Founding Director of Organisations That Matter, a boutique leadership consulting firm.

I work with organisations to help their leaders perform in a manner that is great for the people they lead, great for organisational results and great for themselves! The leaders I coach accelerate revenue, decrease costs, increase employee autonomy & engagement and raise their personal incomes and career opportunities.

If you are good at what you do but want to be extraordinary, then I will support you, challenge you and educate you so that you can break through the barriers that are holding you back from the business performance you know you can create. And, in the process, enable the people in your organisation to shine.

Are you up for the challenge?

I work with individual leaders, their teams, departments and whole organisations.

Tim Gannon

I studied art history because I thought I would be a museum curator. Florence taught me how to look. New Orleans taught me how to cook. Aspen taught me how to work a line. None of it made any sense until 1987, when Chris Sullivan called. 

 I sold my saddle for two hundred and fifty dollars, drove to Tampa, and walked into a meeting with thirty-seven dollars left in my pocket. We did not have money. We had a six-page document we called Principles & Beliefs. Everything else followed from that. 

The Bloomin’ Onion came from a Japanese garnish, a Cajun batter, and a fryer big enough to handle one onion at a time. Over the next twenty years it sold more than 1.4 billion dollars on its own. People ask me what the secret was. We just paid attention. We listened. We came back the next day and did it again. 

Forty years later I am still the cook who showed up early, stayed late, and never quite got over how good honest work feels.
