About Liz Ryan

Liz Ryan has been an HR person for ages, and before that she was a young opera singer. (Now she is an older opera singer.)  Liz believes that work can be more authentic, more fun and more productive for people and their employers, and she believes that every person has a deep brand that springs from his or her passions, beliefs and talents.

For Liz, tapping the power embedded in an individual's convictions, gifts and worldview is the key to personal and professional success -- for individual working people, and for the organizations they band together to create.

Liz is one of the leading workplace advisors in the U.S., 'the voice of the new-millennium workplace.' Liz works with employers who want to shift their thinking and their practices around hiring, employee communication and rewards, leadership and retention. She speaks at universities on the changing nature of work and employment, and prepares students for the work world they'll be entering and shaping. S

Liz advises working people and job-seekers through her workshops, one-on-one career guidance, and the Ask Liz Ryan online community. Liz's columns and radio commentaries reach over 50 million readers every month, and her presentations across the U.S. and abroad bring Liz's pithy, down-to-earth observations and humor to corporate, university and association audiences. Liz is a regular CNN commentator, and shares her advice on BBC Radio, NPR, the Daily Show, and bunches of other broadcast outlets.
