Programme Reflections

What leaders tell us

Ray has been a brilliant coach, to me in our one-to-one coaching sessions as well as through his very high impact leadership coaching programs. I have benefitted directly from Ray's insights as a coach, his clarity of thought, and his ability to create a trust-based environment both in individual and group settings. Ray helped me define and communicate my career objectives and boundaries. I also had the privilege of participating in a leadership program that Ray designed - and it was undoubtedly the most high-engagement, insightful and memorable program I have ever attended.

Managing Director

Accenture

Last year (2022), I joined an Accenture Leadership program led by Ray who was so inspiring to me. Ray is truly exceptional in the work that he does. He takes the ability to understand, listen, direct, and motivate to a level that is quite honestly rare in the field of work I am in. I was not expecting to be so inspired. Post the leadership program, I always look forward to working or just conversing with him because whenever I do I am always left inspired and motivated to become the best version of myself. I highly recommend Ray for all things personal and professional development.

Strategy Senior Manager

Accenture

This was a uniquely curated leadership development experience that created a safe but challenging environment for me to experiment with my leadership style and build a network of peers to provide mutually powerful challenge and perspective to each other.

The pace and energy of the programme provided new perspectives and frameworks on leadership and created opportunities to work through specific learning questions which have supported me in leading my team.
