Mentor & Coach
“Business is easy. It's about getting the people right. That's the hardest part and where I can help. Get the people right and the business success will flow.”
I really enjoy helping people understand the mechanics of business. Passing on knowledge and expertise from all the people who have helped me, with the added advantage of what I’ve learnt.
If I can be of any assistance to you or your organisation, I'd be pleased to do so.

Hi Ray,
I'm sorry I didn't get a chance to personally thank you following your presentation. The reason I would have liked for you to see me, was because I'm sure I have grown a couple of inches, your words were uplifting. It's not hard to see and feel the amazing culture within your organisation, and where it comes from.
I found the information you shared insightful, and assure you I will become a strong advocate for First National. The need for governments to invest in social housing and the critical need to reduce red tape is a philosophy we share.
Anyway, I know you are extremely busy but really wanted to say a big thank you, you have no idea how much your words meant to me.

Just a quick note to thank you for your recent presentation on Leadership, given to my staff .
The presentation was invaluable in highlighting to the team that they all play a part in leadership and that they must never accept 'the ordinary'. Your presentation covered a great range of topics related to good leadership and also resonated with my Management Team.
In speaking with my staff afterwards they were all complimentary of your presentation and each felt they got something from it that they could bring into their daily work life.
— Ken Williams, Excel Australasia
Just a short note to thank you for your advice a guidance. Over the past eighteen months we have gone through extraordinary challenging times with Covid restrictions and lockdown. Your advice and strategies that you shared prior have been invaluable in insuring our company has ‘weathered the storm’ and indeed look to come out of this period far stronger than we entered.
More importantly, your advice will see a continued upward protectory to our growth and managed processes.
What has been a resource of great value is your constant insights to the markets and overall economy. Too often this is an area which businesses neglect to ‘keep a finger on the pulse’ but we have found the benefits when adjusting strategies to take advantages of the ‘ups and downs’.
We truly look forward to the years ahead and cannot thank you enough.

I have known Ray for 20 years and we have crossed paths numerous times, both personally and professionally.
Ray is driven to continually improve his own personal performance and that of others, and has an unflagging enthusiasm with a tireless work ethic. He has an insatiable desire for bringing out the best in people.
He has a proven and impressive track record of achievements in the real estate industry, speaking at many conferences always with a very clear intention and objective, and can literally hold any audience in the palm of his hand.
Ray takes the time to make people feel respected and important and leaves a lasting impression. He listens with exceptional attention to detail, remembering names, and creating a rapport very quickly. Rays' relationships and exceptional results speak for themselves.
