Request Availability for Ray McElroy
Through his 20-year motivational speaking initiative, Life Beyond the Game, Ray McElroy, unlike any other, has managed to capture the hearts and minds of youth, organizations and companies nationwide! As an emerging leader in the marketplace, Ray’s amazing and uncanny ability to entertain while delivering a profound message of desire, discipline and dedication has impacted the lives of thousands regardless of gender, age, or profession. Ray’s list of satisfied clients include CITGO, Discover Financial Services, Christ Advocate Hospital, Precision Payroll of America, and a major Illinois-based insurance company; just to name a few. Ray’s fire for seeing individuals, companies, and organizations take their prospective businesses to the next level comes from his athletic background spending six seasons in the NFL from 1995-2001 with the Indianapolis Colts, Detroit Lions, and the Chicago Bears. A native of Chicago and graduate of Eastern Illinois University, Ray also served as Team Chaplain for the Chicago Bears Organization from 2008-2012.
In addition to his speaking profession, Ray is devoting his post football career to empowering youth, transforming lives, and making a difference one life and community at a time through his non-profit organization, A Ray of Hope on Earth. Ray puts on youth football camps for at risk, underserved youth. He also runs a mentoring program in Chicago working with approx. 60+ middle school and high school-aged youth per week, and he does all-school assembly programs encouraging youth about the consequences of their choices. Ray also serves as the associate pastor of teaching and outreach at Central Christian Church in Beloit, WI. If that isn’t enough, his newly developed venture is AIM which stands for Activating Intentional Marriages.
Through this initiative, Ray and his wife, Michelle, use their 24 years of marital experience to coach couples in business, churches, and those in professional athletics; equipping them with the tools necessary to take their game to the next level relationally. Whether he is delivering an encouraging word at his church or on game day to NFL players, speaking at school assemblies or youth programs, or challenging businesses on how to boldly go where they haven’t been before, Ray is truly committed to delivering tangible, life-changing results to whomever he is in front of.
To Boldly Go - Stepping Out From Ordinary to Extraordinary
What a person sees, what they say, and what they show in their actions are all telling factors in their ability to take their professional and personal lives to the next level. TO BOLDLY GO is a program that dives right into the heart of a person's perceived reality, exposes the effects of negative self talk, and inspires both organizations and individuals to create momentum towards greatness; daring to achieve, accomplish, and boldly go where others around them have never gone before!
