Last week Frank Goldberg introduced us to new member Ryan Bouda.  At only 22 years old, Ryan will be one of the youngest members of the Suburban Rotary.  Ryan’s entrepreneurial spirit began long before choosing his current career path.  At 13 years old, he owned and operated a yard care business with three employees, his two brothers and their neighbor, taking care of dozens of houses in their neighborhood.  In high school, Ryan lettered four years in two separate sports and was active in over 20 different clubs and activities over his four years.  As President of the Service and Habitat for Humanity Clubs, Ryan participated in four services trips included Rosebud Indian Reservation and Haiti, and two more throughout college.  His lawn care business grew throughout college into a small construction company that he managed on the weekends to pay his way through college. 

 

After finishing his Engineering Degree from the University of Nebraska in only three years, Ryan decided to change his career path to begin building the people inside of the buildings.  Before even graduating college, Ryan became a founded partner of LEAP Training & Coaching, a team of coaches and trainers who specialize in leadership, organizational and team building.  Immediately, he began his professional training in Conversational Intelligence, a research-based scientifically-proven coaching methodology focused on the neuroscience of conversations.  Now, as an expert in C-IQ, Ryan specializes in communication patterns, culture development and leadership skills.  He is excited to join an organization founded in rich principles of integrity, community and service. Welcome, Ryan! 

Congratulations to all the members recognized for perfect attendance by Participation Chair Angeline Larson last week!
