In addition to the development of his technologies and resources, as well as the management of his own business enterprise, Mr. Ray conducts more than 75 days of keynote presentations, corporate training, and public seminars over the course of the year. The secret to Mr. Ray's success is his ability to take the seemingly complex and break it into manageable, understandable and memorable strategies for improvement. He is an incredible storyteller who uses the art to create lasting learning and fuel for change.

James is on the cutting edge of personal and corporate transformation with his philosophies of improved results through "spiritual awakening", or awakening the Spirit within. His presentations are centered on creating business acceleration through the personal development of the individual. Ray believes that the outstanding business of the future will have to model this "Inside/Out" approach if it is to succeed long term.

During the course of his career, Mr. Ray has been involved in extensive management consulting projects, individual coaching, training & development programs, and public & private seminars. Following his undergraduate studies in business management and behavioral sciences, he became a Sales Manager for AT&T. During this time he received national recognition as a top sales manager for five consecutive years (1982 to 1987).

In 1987 AT&T commissioned Mr. Ray to build and manage a telemarketing operation, for which he also received top national honors. James subsequently moved into his area of true expertise - the field of human behavior and accelerated performance. At this time, Mr. Ray joined AT&T's National Education Center and the AT&T School of Business.

In 1991, Mr. Ray formed an alliance with the Covey Leadership Center teaching "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" and "Principle Centered Leadership" to business leaders in Fortune 500 companies. During this time, he began working with organizational leaders to create cultures based on timeless principles.

Mr. Ray went on to form Quantum Consulting Group in 1992 where he continued to create lasting change by performing cultural assessments and culture change initiatives for many major corporations including Boeing Aircraft, Tropicana, and AT&T. Mr. Ray's cultural development work continues to unfold today through his "Peak-Performance Training" - a modular training system, specifically tailored to each organization's desired outcome.

His public seminar curriculum "The Journey of Power" is a one of a kind eight-phase university of personal and spiritual growth. This break-through course is attended by multiple hundreds of high achievers and forward thinkers annually.

Programs:

Igniting The Entrepreneurial Spirit:

Once thought to be lost within the corporate giants, the entrepreneurial spirit is reemerging and forming the foundation of tomorrow's most successful companies. From the start up venture to the Fortune 500, industry leaders are recognizing the power in creating an environment of personal commitment, passion and ownership for common goals. In Igniting The Entrepreneurial Spirit James Ray gives you the key factors that are present in every successful entrepreneur, and then shows you how to apply them in your life and your position within any business.

Positioning Yourself To Own Your Market:

Truth is timeless, and many times the greatest advances in business and personal success are made by taking a step back - practicing the basics and then continuing to build from a strong foundation. Marketing 101 teaches us that to create a snowball affect in the market, increasing customer loyalty and gaining greater share of mind - we must set ourselves apart from the pack and constantly reinforce our unique identity. In Positioning Yourself to Own Your Market, James Ray will reinforce foundational principles and teach you the keys all high achievers utilize for consistent results - keys that guarantee performance.

The Science Of Success:

For some people, success comes so easily. For others, it's always just "around the corner." Or so it seems. Why is success so much a part of some lives, and so noticeably absent from others? The answer is always the same. The names, faces, places, times and dates may be different, but in each case, the exact same SuperLaws of success are operating. What accounts for the differences is that some people use the laws to their advantage; other people ignore the laws, to their own detriment. James Ray knows far more people would enjoy much greater success if they knew (and believed) the SuperLaws and saw a way to use these principles themselves to better their own lives. Sales Mastery In The New Market:

If you magically gave an "ordinary" sales professional instant mastery in the selling skills used by top producers - would that person suddenly become a top producer? Of course not. By themselves, top selling skills won't produce long-term results. What sales professionals need first in order to move from "ordinary" to "superstar" status is to master the inner skill of seeing themselves as top producers in their own minds...and not just for an instant but over a continuous period of time.
