# What the announcement says Cornerstone Speaking and Coaching announced that Ryan Botner, the firm's founder and a Maxwell Leadership Certified Coach, is open for 2026 keynote and workshop bookings. The firm is prioritizing early bookings for organizations planning events in the first and second quarters of 2026. All engagements are offered nationwide.
# Who Botner serves and the track record The announcement positions Botner as a speaker for corporate sales teams, association conferences, leadership events, and industry meetings. It cites experience across construction, agriculture, insurance, automotive retail, real estate, financial services, and professional services. Cornerstone reports more than 200 keynote presentations delivered over three years and says it has documented measurable client outcomes in sales performance and leadership development.
# Core offerings and formats Botner's 2026 portfolio is organized into five core topic areas, each available as a standalone keynote, a half-day workshop, or a full-day intensive:
- Speak2SELL sales performance and conversion: a four-stage proprietary framework—connect, diagnose, position, guide—delivered as keynote or workshop with live demonstration and guided practice. The half-day and full-day formats are positioned as producing observable behavioral change in sales conversations and close-rate accountability.
- Be Intentional leadership: a system focused on intentional leadership and team accountability.
- Business growth and scaling strategy: practical upstream investments to grow revenue without proportional cost increases, aimed at entrepreneurs and owners.
- Faith-driven leadership and purpose-centered performance: programs for faith-based organizations and leaders.
- Resilience and rebuilding: guidance for leaders navigating professional adversity, drawing on Botner's stated experience of professional collapse and faith-led recovery.
# Customization and measurable outcomes Every engagement starts with a customization conversation so the presentation's emphasis, industry-specific examples, and calls to action align with the client's objectives. The announcement stresses measurable results as the standard for engagement success. Botner is quoted saying the true measure is whether attendees are doing something measurably different 30 days after the event rather than simply how the room felt that day.
# The Speak2SELL workshop in practice
# Booking details and recommended next steps for planners Organizations interested in booking are encouraged to contact Cornerstone Speaking and Coaching early, especially for first- and second-quarter 2026 dates. The announcement directs readers to book at cornerstonespeaking.com and emphasizes that engagements are available nationally.
# Bottom line This release is a calendar-opening notice aimed at event planners who need sales-focused or leadership content with an emphasis on practical frameworks and measurable post-event change. Botner's offerings are packaged to be customized to industry and audience needs and include both motivation and skills-based workshop formats.
