After I founded my nonprofit and began managing a growing team, I jumped at the opportunity to work with George to practice implementing his wisdom and mindfulness approaches at work. George is patient, thoughtful, and gifted at explaining mindfulness concepts to work in our everyday context. I find that his nuggets of wisdom stick with me and come to me in moments of stress, helping me to relax and find the best path forward.
