| Lou Paget, Founder, The Sexuality Seminars and Frankly Speaking, Inc., Los Angeles and Author of 3 Books including the best seller, How to be a Great Lover "When I need a ‘Ray-fix’ he is but a phone call away…. He keeps his finger on the pulse of his clients with articles, quick catch up calls…. He tells you things that are already in your brain that you didn’t know were in your brain. He acts as your training wheels when you can’t grasp a concept. He distills his comments and instructions to their simplest and most powerful form. There is no technospeak—and that is why Ray is a great mentor."
Harlan Bratcher, President, A/X Armani Exchange, New York "(You) gave me insight into the many diverse influences in today’s world that affect everything around us, giving me new tools to deal with and recognize change. Ray, you’re the Zen master of dealing with change. The world needs more of you."
Susan Kennedy, Founder, Planet SARK, San Francisco, Artist, Author of 10 Books, including the best seller, Wild Succulent Woman "Ray manages to blend the ethereal and linear worlds in a remarkable way that is both intuitive and brilliant in its depth and attention to detail.

Paul Raffin, CEO, North America, FRETTE, New York "What Ray offered me was a life line in the form of a toolkit, comprised of readings, reflections a new language and a heightened sense of self awareness. I learned how to develop a" lead from behind” philosophy that spoke to the heart of collaboration and the empowerment of great teams. We explored both behavioral and business applications that I used to establish a clarity and purpose to my professional life, while nurturing and becoming more appreciative of my personal life. With Ray’s guidance, I learned how to communicate in an open way , and maintain an open-mindedness to new ideas and new ways of thinking. This , in turn, fostered the development of an operating system for my business that created forums where ideas flowed freely, and great execution was insured through aligned teamwork. The results I have seen in both the business and the people I manage have been transforming. Ultimately, having re-established a true connection with what matters most to me and enabling this growth through the use of my new found toolkit, I feel excited about the journey ahead, and no longer overwhelmed by an inability to deal with my state of overload. I am now like a surfer enjoying the wild ride of life; staying on my board , maintaining a calm equilibrium and moving forward. Ray has helped teach me to ride these waves of life in an inspiring way, appreciating how precious it truly is."

The simplicity of his language and his hold of all concepts "real," made our work attainable and easy for me to assimilate. Ray’s work is not a one-time experience but is now for me an ongoing process to check in with, during the rest of my life. He will become part of a regular maintenance program for me. This experience has been invaluable and I recommend it to anyone who feels the need of more support than they are capable of giving themselves."
