Ray Jamieson grew up in Southern NSW, on a farm, in a rural community.  The values he espouses are the same now as then, with integrity and a firm handshake paramount. 

Graduating from high school in the early seventies, he continued on the family farm for some time.. He qualified as a mechanic, and a wool classer by the age of 19 years.

In 1979, partly to get away from cold winters, he went north, to Queensland, setting up his own earth moving and construction business, based on a 700 hectare grazing property at Kingaroy.  While there, he pioneered "Keyline" soil and water conservation techniques in the district, and built many houses and rural sheds throughout South East Queensland.

Moving from the farm in the mid eighties, following entrepreneurship and business studies at University of Queensland, he was well positioned in the corporate world when the stock market crashed, and began corporate rescue work with businesses devastated by the crash.  Refinance, restructure and retraining into new methods of doing business, numerous businesses facing bankruptcy were put back on the path to success.  Importantly, none went down.

Over the next 5 years, this work evolved to corporate training, and the development of some powerful corporate training and development programs.  One in particular went through Queensland Transport and Main Roads Department.  However, in 2000, the training went public, with the offering of The Executive Mastamind Programme, the public program described on this website.

With the changing global circumstances and the "GFC", this business evolved also,  and the new Executive Mastermind was the result, with the new range of services and consulting strategies and a fully qualified financial planner qualification.


Over this whole period, Ray has also been constantly writing, new books, workshops and seminars.  A number of his books are available in e-book format, from this website.  Since June 2008, he has also written and now published "Political Guts", a website dedicated to making Australia a better place for our children by stimulating public discussion of alternative management and governance strategies.
