Raymond C. McGraime
Raymond C. McGraime has been a professional consultant, instructor,
and lecturer in non-verbal communication (body language)
for over twenty years.
Ray is a valuable resource for business executives, politicians, police departments, educational establishments, medical professionals, and sales subdivisions at major corporations. If your particular needs include the analysis of a political candidate, or business executive, Ray will be happy to point out any gestural liabilities, tailor a gestural approach for specific audiences, and instruct the individual in the use of universally positive gestures. These gestures may include modifying postures, utilizing gestures of honesty and openness, developing gestures of dominance and confidence, and carefully positioning oneself spatially in order to increase the effectiveness of these modifications. Ray includes training programs for the elimination of negative liability gestures and the transition to the use of positive gesturing in the individual. The tailoring of gestural movements for specific situations would, as an example, concern the different ways to move effectively when confronting a woman's group, in contrast to the most effective movements used when a candidate is confronting a manual trade union. The gestures used at a children's hospital should be very different from those used at a business meeting. The politician, or business person, can customize his or her approach and develop the best path to accomplish the goal of winning the votes or support of either the electorate or their business associates respectively. Ray also works with female candidates, or business women, to allow them to use the subconscious power of non-verbal communication to equal the playing field in an arena dominated by males. Ray works well with campaign managers and becomes a team member in consulting situations, enhancing rather than interfering with the powers already in place in the campaign or business model apparatus.
Ray is a veteran speaker who has addressed both small and large groups. He would be very happy to speak to your party members or members of any campaign or business department. He is called upon frequently by the radio, TV, and print media to analyze the movements of prominent figures and celebrities in the news. His most recent appearances have included "Today in NY" on NBC, "Inside Edition", VH1, Montel Williams, MSNBC, and over fifty radio stations.
Ray has taught Graduate Courses in Non-Verbal Communication for over twenty-five years and he is an Assistant Professor of Allied Health Sciences at Nassau Community College on Long Island, N.Y. Ray is also a Professor of Non-Verbal Communication at "The Center For Integrated Teacher Education" on Long Island, which is associated with several area colleges including Brooklyn College and College of St. Rose. He is an exceptionally dynamic speaker who has received many instructional awards, including the very prestigious MIT Distinguished Teacher Award.
Ray McGraime has also been used as a regular resource by the NY Post and many other papers including, George Magazine, People Magazine, and even prominent periodicals around the world like "Focus" magazine in Germany which featured Ray's analysis of Presidential choreography. Ray's international status comes from working with business leaders from other countries in order to help them to move more effectively in the U.S., while reading their counterparts in this country more accurately. Ray has become one of the country's leading experts on the movements of politicians.
The explosion of television, the computer and the net, and the need for rapid visual gratification in the print media, have all contributed to an environment where what is being seen overwhelms other realities. Politicians are designed! Business deliveries are disciplined and purposeful! Ray is one of the people who does that designing! Image is everything, and image is a mutable feature.
Ray is also the producer of a three volume commercially available video series called the "Body Language for Business Series," which include: Volume 1: "The Body Language of Power and Dominance"
Volume II: "The Body Language of Control and Manipulation"
Volume III: "Gestures to Avoid in Business"
Ray is the author of a book for adolescents. "The Body Language of Flirting, Dating, and Romance."
Ray is currently writing a book for parents on body language, a book on the Clinton Presidency, and a text for college courses on this discipline entitled "Silent Seduction: The Power of Body Language."
