Executive Coaching
Prized influence skills
Executive coaching with Raleigh is a powerful and practical experience to increase your career and social stature and create big wins, even in tough places.
Raleigh likes to work with people who aspire to have a positive impact on their community and build their industry stature.
That’s because Raleigh is a former Fortune 500 executive with over 100 business launches* who became an entrepreneur, elected civic leader, multi-board member, and radio host who knows how to engineer luck despite adversity.
“Raleigh is so thoughtful, talking to him gave me some peace of mind. He is a marvelous mentor.”
Building on his corporate career, Raleigh coached and mentored growth companies. He showed them how to divine market insights, strategically land business relationships with larger companies, and attract investors. He served dozens of companies as an interim executive, management consultant, business advisor, and executive coach.
Raleigh has critically evaluated numerous business best-sellers and scholarly psychology experts. A major point of difference is that he also draws on tactical experience as a martial arts instructor, sports coach, educator, and elected official. Raleigh has integrated his best fighting and writing insights to equip you with success strategies designed personally for you.

“Raleigh mentored me as I navigated new opportunities and challenges at my workplace. He provided an objective viewpoint, and has shared a number of frameworks and techniques to help strengthen my communication skills. I realized the impact communication style has on my ability to gain leaders’ support and have become more confident sharing my ideas with others. I am grateful for his support and appreciate the wisdom he’s shared with me.”
In his management consulting work, Raleigh found that certain behaviors were most effective in trying to influence and persuade others, win business proposals, perform high-stakes negotiations, and bounce back from setbacks. That’s why he now concentrates on executive coaching and serving on boards. He also hosts a monthly radio show where he invites community and industry leaders discussing themes such as solving the housing crisis, helping disadvantaged kids, promoting the local arts scene, and understanding trends in renewable energy.
“I found Raleigh to be a great person to work with. I really appreciate how Raleigh listens to a concept or idea and then asks insightful questions that will transform a good concept into a great concept . . . His ability to quickly come to understand complex issues made him well respected and liked by colleagues in [various] corporate functions. He is a trusted mentor.”
Raleigh’s Philosophy
When Raleigh reflected on his career through 4,000+ pages of handwritten journal entries over 16 years, he looked for the key drivers of successful versus unsuccessful behaviors that impact business ventures and interpersonal relationships. Raleigh read over a hundred books, interviewed experts, and performed critical analysis as to which popular packages of advice and psychology worked, for whom, and under which circumstances. He’s reflected and researched deeply his successes and setback so that you can benefit directly. Raleigh felt that it would be of great value to others to share these insights so they could build their industry and social stature.
“Raleigh’s work ethic and superb executive network are unique assets for developing strategy that can adapt to market challenges and maintain focus on delivering customer value. He brings intelligence, research and insight with uncommon empathy. The way he interacts with strong leaders and diverse teams has been extremely valuable to me. Business leaders I’ve introduced him to say, ‘Raleigh is the kind of person I like to work with, thanks!’ Many executives guide business and financial management strategy development, but Raleigh possesses exceptional interpersonal skills and persistence in the face of adversity to ensure engaged accountability and results.”
Raleigh not only stays abreast of leading edge technology advances, but discovered that particular soft skills, attitudes, and mental habits make the most difference for those trying to change the world. Raleigh designed a best practice body of knowledge to teach, advise, and coach game-changing strategies and tactics to crush it with even tough challenges.
“At Everwise, Raleigh has formally mentored professionals and helped them build their visibility at work.”
