Author/Founder/Speaker/Coach

Ray Arata, author of SHOWING UP; How Men Can Become Effective Allies in the Workplace, is a speaker, master facilitator, coach, and most of all, he is an ally in training. As an aspiring ally, Ray’s personal mission involves going into the corporate world and getting male executives to stand up and stand strong when it comes to including and advancing women and minorities in the workplace. In this vein, Ray founded the Better Man Conference, a one-day event with resources, support, and community to engage men as allies in creating an inclusive culture. Ray brings his 22 years of healthy masculinity work with men on how to live and lead from the heart to the very relevant topic of enlisting the engagement of men to support inclusive workplace cultures. With over fifteen thousand hours of men’s personal leadership work under his belt, coaching men, holding transformational workshops, and leading men’s groups, Ray brings a unique and much needed experiential point of view that supports organizations in meeting men where they are - without shame or blame - and guiding them on an inclusionary, heart-centric leadership journey.
