More About Ryan Millar
Storytelling has always been how I make sense of the world – and how I help others do the same
Hi! I'm Ryan
A Canadian-born, Amsterdam-based coach, trainer, author, and performer. My path has taken me from improv stages in Vancouver to street corners in Rome (yes, I was once an illegal Vatican tour guide), to boardrooms and stages at Google, adidas, ING and more.
Along the way, I've developed a rare blend of skills – improvisation, storytelling, coaching, and communication strategy – and I now use them to help people and teams show up with clarity, confidence, and impact.
How we work
Presence in the moment
The best communicators don't act confident – they stay grounded and engaged. We help you stay responsive and clear under pressure, so you can meet high-stakes moments with calm control instead of canned lines.
Authentic expression
True connection comes from honest communication. We help you express yourself with clarity and courage, in a way that feels real to you and lands with your audience.
Capacity that compounds
Yes, you'll get practical tips and frameworks – but you'll also build the deeper capabilities that last: clarity, adaptability, strategic presence, storytelling. These are skills you'll use for the rest of your career.
Growth through practice
You're not a brain in a jar. You need not just to hear concepts and think about them – you need to try, play and iterate in order to own new skills. We create a supportive, responsive environment where you can practice, get targeted feedback, and try again until it's yours.
Maximum impact
Every engagement is designed to deliver more capability, more confidence, and more clarity than you expect – not more slides and handouts. We bring our full expertise because transformational value is the only standard we work to.
