What’s Your Pink Cadillac?

Your roadmap to an engaged, energized, and inspired culture

Watch Ryan's Reel

Ryan’s unforgettable keynote provides an immediately actionable people-first framework allowing leaders to combat burnout, drive engagement, fuel performance, and improve mental health.

And it all starts with just one question - What’s Your Pink Cadillac?

As a leading speaker on burnout, resilience, and mental health, Ryan Campbell helps leaders create JoyFueled teams.

What is What’s Your Pink Cadillac?

There are few conversations more important than mental health. It affects everything - how we think, feel, and act.
Finding the tools to maintain positive mental health is crucial for both our personal and professional lives and the foundation on which we can both achieve and overcome. That said, the statistics could not be clearer. The struggle is widespread - from anxiety and depression to an eye-opening lack of happiness in day to day life.
In a study of 12,000 business leaders and consumers, 45% of respondents reported not feeling true happiness in more than two years.
What’s Your Pink Cadillac? is a crucial conversation that highlights the need to prioritize the things that make us smile like a kid. Shared through unforgettable story, this is a JoyFueled pathway to improved mental health.
Ryan’s journey from a global expedition to a plane crash and paraplegic diagnosis was one that uncovered many incredible lessons. It was a true ‘high and low’ story of adventure and adversity.
But, despite ticking all the boxes he felt he needed to, including an incredible recovery, Ryan still found himself dissatisfied and struggling with his mental health. This is a common problem in a world where we are constantly sold to, targeted, and influenced into wanting more.
It was the unexpected purchase of Flo, an Elvis-inspired Pink Cadillac that helped Ryan step away from the pursuit of fleeting happiness, and identify and focus on what truly mattered - everyday joy.
Thanks to Flo, a fresh understanding of the power of joy led to permission, prioritization and positive change. It was the prioritization of Ryan’s hobbies, interests and simple pleasures that helped highlight what truly mattered and fueled positive change in his mental health. Stepping back allowed Ryan to show up better in the face of all his challenges.
One of the leading causes of personal and professional stress is burnout.
We live in a ’do more to be more’ world, and the constant pursuit of more is weighing heavily on many of us.
Finding a way to re-fuel is a must. Maybe, like Ryan, the answer is parked in your driveway?
Statistics on stress, burnout, fatigue, motivation and professional and personal satisfaction offer a window into the world of work-life balance, or lack there of.
What’s Your Pink Cadillac? is a unique way to have an extremely important conversation. It is a work-life balance discussion without ever using the worn out, buzzword of a phrase.
Through the story of a 19 foot long Pink Cadillac and an old man at a gas station, Ryan transforms self care from something seemingly selfish into something unavoidably essential.
Whether it be a board of Pink Cadillac Post-It notes, attendees sharing their answers with the room, or a REAL Pink Cadillac parked at your event…. this is a unique, JoyFueledconversation that is sure to remain in the minds of attendees for years to come.
