Where Motivation Meets Real World Experience

  • an ex-teacher with experience in challenging and high performing schools
  • a global mindset and performance coach who has worked with Olympians and world class performers
Most importantly, George understands young people.

Through his own lived experiences, setbacks and successes he shows pupils that:
  • success is built through choices and effort
  • resilience can be learned and strengthened
  • background does not define future
  • confidence grows through action, not perfection
Pupils listen because his story is real. They engage because he speaks their language. They remember the message because it connects emotionally.
