Phillip M. Ray
Phillip Ray began his career in 1990 at the Covey Leadership Center while finishing his undergraduate degree at Brigham Young University.
He spent the first five years of his career working for and being mentored by the likes of Stephen R. Covey, A. Roger Merrill, Greg Link, and many other important pioneers at the Covey Leadership Center.
An entrepreneur at heart, Phillip left the comfort of The Covey Leadership Center and started a successful, direct marketing company during the pioneering days of the internet. His company was aligned and focused strategically on the automotive sales and service sectors. There, he counted Nissan North America, Toyota, and Lexus as professional partners for many years.
With real world business experience and hard-won knowledge, in the trenches of running a fast-growing business, he never lost his love for the inviolate principles taught at the Covey Leadership Center. After the sale of his business, Phillip was recruited back to FranklinCovey and has been reunited for over 13 years.
Phillip is a strategic business partner and 4DX Blackbelt, helping business leaders deconstruct their strategic intent and turn them into actionable targets of accountability. He has helped leaders execute their most important strategy, from United Parcel Service (UPS), Carnival Cruise Lines, Aflac, Cox Communications, RPM, and many others, to sharpen their focus, amid convergent and competing forces. Phillip has helped to deliver real results, as a valued strategic partner, consultant, and friend to his many clients.
