Ralph was the lead external partner with me on the design and delivery of an extremely successful global leadership programme within the IS function of a major multi-national.
He came highly recommended yet my (high) expectations were surpassed. He bought deep experience and subject matter expertise in the field of leadership, credibility with very bright participants, insight, humour, warmth, expert facilitation, flexibility, incredible relationship building skills and the gravitas necessary to win the confidence and support of an initially sceptical executive team who were won round to give the programme strong support and sponsorship.
The programme originally intended for 60 leaders in three countries was such a success and demand for it so strong that over 200 leaders in over 20 countries participated. Although this was success was down to the team as a whole, Ralph was very much the lynchpin of this team.
Peter Bradfield
We hired Ralph to create and lead a development programme called "Passion for Value" for over 200 IT/IS leaders based across three countries that supported the new vision. Ralph introduced me to "Now Discover Your Strengths" and whole number of techniques for developing leaders, for which I will be forever grateful. Simply put, Ralph loves people, and has unlimited time for them and matches this with researching into ideas and models that can help people. This is a great combination... I highly recommend Ralph.

LEADERSHIP
"Do those served grow as
persons; do they, while
being served, become
healthier, wiser, freer,
more autonomous, more
likely themselves to become
servants?
And what is the effect on the least privileged in society; will they benefit or, at least, not be further deprived ?”
