"I wish I had just 10% of the energy, creativity and insight that Ray Justice oozes.  Ray has a way of instantly connecting , and helping others zero in on what is important in life.
 

Even in a larger group Ray has the uncanny ability to connect in a way that makes a difference.

If Ray calls make room in your calendar.  You won’t regret it !!!!"

"I don't just HIGHLY recommend, I feel these poems are a must for any true spiritual seeker. Ray's poems are the closest thing we have, in our time, to Rumi's poetry. That is a big statement, but to me, the truth- a must for any spiritual seeker"

"I have known Ray for twenty years and this friendship has been invaluable to me as I have moved through my various careers. I recently had the opportunity to invite Ray to address my entrepreneurship class at the University. Ray immediately connected with the students. He provided them with insightful business advice. But, more importantly, talked in depth about those intangible skills, talents and personal characteristics necessary to be a successful entrepreneur. Ray has a holistic approach to life’s challenges that one does not normally find in business books."
-Bob Tobin
Lecturer in Entrepreneurship
Simon Graduate School of Business
University of Rochester


"He has a way of looking at things with a fresh idea, an unheard of solution, or a new approach.   Ray is a master at evoking positive change , and has been a wonderful influence in my life. He is a very gifted coach, and for him, it comes very naturally.

He is a brilliant, unconventional , laid-back, very successful entrepreneur and extraordinary human being.
He is my "guru" and most trusted advisor in business and life."

–Holly Geogehgan
President, Golf Marketing Services
former Marketing Director of LPGA



"Ray is the kind of coach that pays attention to what is important to you and what limits you unintentionally set on yourself.  He asks very pointed questions that get you thinking about things in a way that you have never before.  He opens your mind (& eyes) to new possibilities and opportunities that you never thought of (or could have on your own).

Ray was instrumental to my business start up and success. I don't know if I would be as successful without his coaching and support.  Even an hour with Ray can make a huge difference in your thinking!"

–Pam Kramer
Owner
Vincent Place Development  and Urban Essentialz



"Ray has the uncanny ability to connect with people from all walks of life. In a span of an hour he can refocus you on what is important in your life or career. Ray not only shares his tools for success, but more important, he inspires confidence and hope that you take with you days, weeks, and months after you hear him speak. If you get the opportunity, don't miss him! It will make all the difference on how you view your career."


-James M. Teal
Director of M. S. Ed

"Ray is masterful at combining phenomenal thinking with heartfelt compassion for others that provides a platform to undergo change, renewal and introspection with relative safety. His joy and ability to seamlessly understand others while growing himself through partnerships with others has been a wonderful model for teaching others to lead while being led."
 
-Clay Osborne

"Ray, your writings are simply beautiful! Not bad for a business guy!
Some really leave the reader thinking & reflecting and even shedding a tear. Good for you, connecting your heart and business."

-Neil Cavuto

"Ray's focus on personal life change has been a valuable piece for my management team. He provides insight on areas of personal and professional leadership, that you will not receive from any other leadership provider.  Lifelong leadership facilitation begins with Ray."

–John R. Piper
President, First of NY Federal Credit Union



"Ray, without a doubt, is someone who always looks for more and encourages your best . He has a fresh, loving, fair and non-judgmental approach. He is a master at bringing people together and helping them become the best that they can be, usually in a very creative way.

His ideas are divinely inspired – where else could they be from."

-Joyce Stanzel
Visible Sounds



"I have had many opportunities to spend time with Ray as a coaching client and a participant in group workshops. On every occasion I have walked away with valuable information that is useful not only in the workplace, but in my personal life as well.
  Ray seems to be able to blend together all areas of one’s life, creating a synergy and peacefulness within. This may not make sense to many people if they haven’t been to one of Ray’s workshops; but it’s more about the “feeling” I walk away with. The learning is always there; but it’s the feeling within that helps me to unconsciously apply all that I’ve learned. One of the most valuable assets in my life is time spent listening or conversing with this phenomenal teacher.  This man has had a tremendous impact on my life."



“Few things in life are as inevitable or as emotionally charged as change. Ray Justice has a manner of teaching that brings an ease and reassurance to those facing change. He gently coaxes his students to see a new perspective on change, which makes all the difference. And he does this with kindness and humor and with a passion that is contagious.”
-John M. Ventura, DC

"Ray's coaching and business perspectives are new, different, enlightening and refreshing and have been a major part of my success" "His book is incredible. I’m enjoying it immensely. It is the best poetry book I've ever read, and I say that because it felt like the poems were written to me. And I didn't even have someone reading them out loud to me! The feeling of intimacy is incredible!

"One of the most creative, energetic, compassionate people I know. Ray has had a series of experiences that melt into his poetry, the words grow from his heart.  He has a rare gift to put into words the sentiments of generations of the human race....."

-Rev. Lou Vasile

“After Ray spoke to our staff during a retreat, many co-workers came up to me and said, was Ray talking just to me? It was like he knew me and what I needed.”

Here are some other comments I have heard:
“I have used his techniques for being here in the moment instead of worrying about the future.” “ Being in the present and now, helped me fall back to sleep last night after my child woke me up.”
“ I am already using many of Ray’s ideas to help me cope and concentrate on the here and now.” 
Since I was the one who recommended having Ray be our Keynote, it helped me realize my insight to what some of my co-workers needed,
 they needed RAY…..

"Thanks for all you do in our community Ray, it is a blessing knowing you.

-Colleen Brown, Public Education Coordinator,The Advocacy Center
"Practice responding from your heart instead of reacting from your mind.

Reacting from your mind is a habit so be patient with yourself and watch for opportunities to rehearse with awareness."
