The Self-Aware Leader: How to Understand Yourself and Others Better

This is a six-session course designed for those who lead others and desire to manage with greater clarity, presence, and effectiveness. We’ll explore the foundations of self-awareness, uncover behavioural patterns, and examine the beliefs and values that shape how you lead.

Using insights from behaviourism, social styles theory, and psychology, you'll learn how to recognise your triggers, better understand others, and adapt your leadership approach without compromising authenticity.

This course is for leaders who are ready to move beyond autopilot, deepen their self-understanding, and strengthen their impact through conscious, informed leadership.


I have been the CEO of multinational and privately owned corporations for over 45 years. During that period, I have engaged numerous consultants, but none had the ability that Ray has to interact with people at any level and bring about a sound result. Quickly crystalizing and actioning issues and being a highly credible individual are Ray's strong suits. RUSS HILL GROUP CEO, NEW ERA GROUP OF COMPANIES


Your session with my team was professional, informative and very helpful in extending our thinking on behavioural types and the choice of appropriate communication styles to use within our team and with stakeholders. DR ROB FLOYD - DEPARTMENT OF THE PRIME MINISTER AND CABINET

Here’s what others have experienced:

Ray helped me understand that before I can expect to get the most out of my employees I need to understand them first. Every person is different so a ‘one size fits all’ approach is not the way to go. WILL FROGLEY, CEO AT MASTER BUILDERS ASSOCIATION OF SA INC.

Ray has an ability to listen to all parties, identify areas for growth and then formulate a roadmap to navigate. I have used Ray to facilitate personal growth for my team members, they have been able to bring their challenges to the table, lay them bare and benefit from the strategies and guidance that Ray gives. RICHARD SHEPPY, MANAGING DIRECTOR, AGRIFAC AUSTRALIA

Ray's consultancy with myself and my team has been extremely valuable across the entire business. The main results include a stronger leadership team, greater staff satisfaction and efficiencies, record sales over the Christmas season and more time for myself to work on the business. I highly recommend Ray’s services. GRANT DALY - OWNER/OPERATOR - BARGARA BEACH HOTEL
