"Ray and the Leadership Praxis group provide the type of "can do" thinking and critical analysis that unleash the full potential in a leader. Ray has been a lifeline for me as I negotiate the challenging economic realities of our time while leading a multiplying movement of ministries. His expertise and coaching skill have made all the difference in the world. I recommend him enthusiastically without reservation!"

"Leadership Coaching with Ray (or Dr. Wheeler or Leadership-Praxis if you want) has helped me to lead my team more effectively, relate to those around me better, launch a nonprofit more strategically and break through my personal issues that were holding me back. (And hopefully next month I could add and successfully launch a business to the list.)"

"I've been stuck for a long time, trying to get all of the conversations in my head going the right direction. As a sole owner, I've been wearing every hat there is to wear, owning and running my business. I realized I needed outside help to get focused working on the business, instead of just working in the business. You have really come along at the right time...using the Birkman Method to evaluate my natural and preferred abilities to determine the way I work best…helped me realize what things I need to leave up to others and stop letting those things control me. I can move forward now with my business plans, with confidence….able to rely on you and the Birkman to help identify and manage the right kind of people for our business.  Thank you again for your help."

“I recommend Dr. Ray Wheeler and Leadership Praxis™  for the simple reason he helped me see that I was so caught up in the routine of my business I had failed to pull back and see what was going on around me.  Ray helped me see how my deficiencies in leadership had created some of the patterns of dysfunction I asked him to help me fix.  He helped me own the problem and then worked with me to see how to address it.  Ray and the Leadership Praxis™ team definitely know their stuff.  More importantly I was helped to understand leadership theory in a language I could apply.  I can give this recommendation without hesitation, feel free to call me.”

“Ray Wheeler is a leader of leaders. He can help you make wise decisions. Ray’s gift is to offer clear instructions to leaders who are willing to confront head-on problems that seem too difficult to address. Ray brings light into murky situations and wisdom into golden opportunities that are just too glorious to miss.”
