Trusted by organisations such as Red Bull Racing, Visa, AtkinsRéalis, and ServiceNow, George is brought in to help leaders and teams sustain performance when pressure is constant, priorities compete, and there’s no obvious point to slow down.
With over 20 years of hands-on experience as a wellbeing and performance coach, George helps tackle challenges such as mental overload, inconsistent energy, reactive decision-making, and the hidden cost of always being “on”. His high-performance wellbeing approach reframes wellbeing as a performance capability, helping people take ownership of their habits and design routines that elevate energy, focus and decision quality over time.
Originally trained with a master’s degree in engineering, George brings a practical, systems-led mindset to human performance, focusing on design rather than discipline. His expertise in NLP, neuroscience coaching, and positive psychology is complemented by first-hand experience operating under pressure through ultra-endurance challenges, including 100-mile ultramarathons, an Ironman, and 10 marathons in 10 consecutive days.
As the author of By Design Not Default and host of the A Bit Of A Boost podcast, George helps leaders and professionals perform well through change, without burning themselves or their teams out in the process.
