About Raymond L Wheeler, DMin

I use my retirement to befriend leaders. I know firsthand the joys, sorrows, crises, successes, and failures accompanying the act of leading. More importantly, I realized how my leadership significantly impacted people discovering purpose and meaning in life and work.

I became intrigued with the power of good leaders and the devastation engendered by mediocre and toxic leaders. So, during my mid-career graduate program, I shifted my focus to leadership in every venue where people work. The focus has taken me into different industries to learn and test what I observed about leaders.

I became an executive coach and leadership development specialist. I have conducted social research for large and small organizations designed to explain why certain behaviors routinely occur. I work with leaders in business and the non-profit world. Being in these different settings confirms the importance of good leadership to employee morale/engagement and organizational outputs.  It also helped me define what good followership means to leadership success and organizational flourishing. I enjoy helping women and men leverage their strengths, discover the power of spirituality, expand their emotional capacity, and exercise awareness of how their style impacts those around them.

Janice and I enjoy the cumulative wonder of 50 years of marriage and the delight of five grandchildren.  We give back to our community by serving on boards and committees. We delight in hosting guests and spending time with family and friends.
