“George Thompson has much to offer those of us on a quest to find inner peace and a sense of meaning in this turbulent world. And what quest, after all, could be more important than that?”

You’ve built success — but you know there’s a finer edge you’ve not yet claimed.

You’re capable, intelligent, and committed to your mission.

You’ve already achieved more than most.

And Yet…

There’s a subtle gap you can’t ignore anymore.

A quiet sense that you’re not operating from your deepest centre.

Sometimes you wake up reactive, distracted, and disconnected.

You know there’s a version of you who leads with more calm, more clarity, more integrity.

A version of you who’s:

  • fully at home in their own body
  • sharp, steady, and grounded under pressure
  • connected to a deeper purpose beneath the noise
  • living and leading from alignment, not effort
  • able to inspire clarity and presence in everyone around them

You’ve done the courses, read the books, and taken yourself far.

But you know what’s missing now isn’t more knowledge — it’s embodiment.

 

Are you ready to Awaken Your Potential?

This space offers the depth that high-functioning people rarely find in traditional coaching.

Over 8 bi-weekly sessions, you’ll awaken your capacity for Wise Self Leadership — the ability to stay calm, clear, and grounded no matter what life brings.

Your guide: George Thompson — internationally renowned philosopher, filmmaker, and transformational coach.

The Process

You’ll learn to bring your thoughts, emotions, and actions into alignment.

To reclaim leadership over your perspective and respond to life from a place of empowered choice.

You’re not broken. You don’t need fixing.

Your Wise Self-Leader is already within — it just needs the right challenge and support to awaken.

When you lead your inner world with clarity, your outer world cannot help but change.

The Invitation

This is the deepest work you can do, and the rewards are life-changing.

Are you ready...
  • to lead with integrity and purpose.
  • to develop grounded presence and master your nervous system.
  • to stop getting in your own way.
  • to awaken your potential.

Explore Their Stories

Jim, Government Official, 38

 Jim is a senior government official in Washington DC. After more than 15 years in leadership, he had achieved professional success but felt unfulfilled on a deeper level.

Despite his experience, he struggled with confidence, self-criticism, and a sense of disconnection from his own energy and purpose. That’s when he decided to begin coaching with George.

If I had to sum it up in one line:

"I’ve found my true self. Beneath all my stories of not being good enough, I am whole and worthy of love.”

How Jim Went from Self-Doubt to Self-Leadership

From Outer Success to Inner Strain

“I’ve been successful at work, but there was this constant sense of meaninglessness. I couldn’t enjoy rest, and in my mind I was harsh with myself — about still being single, about not being good enough.

I felt emotionally listless, numb, and tired. It was like I’d lost my “chi”, my energy. Deep down, I knew I was capable of so much more.”

The Search for Real Meaning

“I had gone to a few meditation classes and read books on Daoism and Buddhism. But it was all in my head.

When I came across George’s films, I trusted his integrity straight away. I loved how he made these ancient ideas really accessible — and how he lives them, not just teaches them. He leads his team, he creates films, and he integrates it all. That’s what I wanted: wisdom applied in real life.

At first, I worried: ‘Will I actually prioritise this? This is a big investment.’ But the pain of not working on this had already been hurting me for decades. I was ready to change.”

Discovering a New Way of Being

“Working with George has been immensely helpful. He listens intently and sharpens my ideas in real time.

What really sets him apart is how he senses what I struggle to say and gives it shape. Every insight feels profound and immediately actionable.

Whether I’m sorting through competing priorities or trying to name an emotion, his patience and gentle questions create the space I need. I don’t leave with answers he’s given me — I leave with my own answers, uncovered.

I love how he works with every aspect of my life — energy, presence, purpose, relationships, body, and daily practice. Before, I felt downward momentum. Now, I feel uplifted.

It’s like he goes to the core of who I think I am and helps me find a loving, expansive way to understand myself. That love isn’t just an idea anymore — it’s a lived sense of ease.

Living the Change

“I’m noticing the changes in concrete ways. At work, I have an older colleague who reports to me, but I always felt too unsure to really lead her. I thought: ‘Who am I to tell her what to do?’

Now, I’ve realised that playing small doesn’t serve me, her, or the organisation. I’ve started stepping into that leadership with more confidence and kindness.

To my surprise, she’s responded really positively — it’s actually improved our relationship.

I’m also noticing energy returning. Whether I’m on the tennis court, navigating conflict at work, or even dating, I can catch unhelpful thoughts and come back to presence. I feel more powerful, confident, and compassionate.

"I’ve found my true self. Beneath all my stories of not being good enough, I am whole and worthy of love."

Jim’s Message to Future Clients

“If you’re considering this coaching but feeling unsure, I’d say: just try the discovery call. Even that gave me a lot of clarity.

I was hesitant too — wondering whether I could prioritise it and whether it was worth the investment. But now, after two coaching containers, I’m levelling up massively in my life.

If you feel the resonance, take the step.”

Catherine, Neuroscientist & Executive, 70

Catherine is a neuroscientist and executive leader in the pharmaceutical industry, focused on degenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s. At 70, she is in the later stages of a distinguished career. She began coaching with George, seeking both resilience in a toxic work culture and the clarity to finally write the book she had long dreamed of.

“Coaching with George has been joyful and empowering. My life is shifting in ways I’d been waiting decades for.”

Catherine, Neuroscientist & Executive, 70

How Catherine Found Clarity, Energy, and Real Support

Before Coaching

“Before I found this work, I was feeling really lost. I’d been through a breakup, was struggling with work, and constantly second-guessing myself.

I’d done other coaching and therapy, but nothing quite stuck. I wanted support that actually felt real, embodied, and grounded — not more advice from someone who hadn’t walked the path.

I wanted a guide who wouldn’t try to fix me, but help me reconnect to myself.”

Why This Felt Different

“I came across George’s films first — and there was something instantly different. I felt a sense of presence and integrity. Then, when I had my discovery call, I could feel the care straight away.

What stood out to me was the depth of listening. It wasn’t just surface-level motivation talk — it felt deeply human. I knew I could open up and be fully myself.”

Support That Sticks

“The coaching process gave me practical tools I still use every day — things like daily embodiment practice, noticing inner parts, and recognising when I’m in a triggered state.

But more than that, it helped me shift my relationship with myself. I stopped needing to 'fix' everything and started to meet myself with compassion.

For the first time in years, I felt like I had emotional steadiness and space to breathe.

Changes That Last

“Now, when something stressful happens, I don’t spiral like I used to. I have ways to regulate, to come back to centre.

I’m more confident in conversations, clearer in my choices, and far less dependent on external validation.

One big change was finally launching a creative project I’d been putting off for years. That sense of forward motion has been amazing.”

"This work helped me feel more like myself than I’ve felt in a long, long time."

Catherine’s Message to You

“If you’re thinking about doing this coaching, I’d say — trust what brought you here.

It’s a rare space to be seen this fully and supported this skillfully.

And the shift isn’t just internal — it ripples out into everything.”

Simon, Celebrity Voice Coach, 40

Simon is a 40-year-old voice coach in the UK, working with world-famous musicians to help them perform at their best on stage.

Behind the success, though, he carried a heavy history of childhood trauma, cycles of addiction, and a struggle to find meaning outside of work.

When he joined coaching with George, he was depleted after major projects, in conflict at home, and feeling spiritually rudderless.

"All I can share is my experience; this has changed my life, and I’m incredibly grateful.” 

How Simon Went from Survival to Self-Connection

Hitting a Wall

“I’ve been successful in my work, but my personal life has carried the weight of intense trauma and neglect from childhood. That’s led me, at times, toward addiction.

Before coaching, I was wiped out — low energy, conflict with my partner, and spiritually rudderless. I’d fallen out of practice, wasn’t sure if retreats were still right for me, and felt caught in a negative thought-pattern funk.

I knew I needed deeper support.”

Wrestling with Old Patterns

“I’d done therapy and some addiction recovery work, but something was missing. I wanted to work at a deeper level.

I also struggled with worthiness. I remember asking myself: Am I even worthy of healing? Worthy of working with George? Why would he want to work with me?

That self-doubt was huge. But I also knew that without support, I’d stay stuck in the same cycles — addiction, harsh self-talk, procrastination on my own life outside of work.”

A Turning Point

“When I came to George’s retreat, something shifted. It was awakening.

I realised that all these stories of not being good enough, all these addictive patterns, are experiences happening within my awareness.

And within that awareness, I actually have a choice.

That gave me a way to relate to myself differently — not fighting the addiction, but finding the space to respond with presence. That was a profound change.”

Coaching as the Path to Balance

“Then I started 1-1 Coaching with George. The parts work has been a revelation. Beneath all the voices in my head, there’s a compassionate, calm, curious core — and I’m connecting with that more and more.

What I love is how holistic the coaching is. George helped me finally cement a daily meditation and movement practice — something I’d wanted for years. Now that practice anchors me.

And beyond tools, we worked on meaning and purpose. What am I here to do? What service am I meant to give in the world?

Having those conversations has been life-changing.

I’ve had profound emotional experiences in coaching — insights into the self, a way past decades of trauma and self-abuse.

It’s allowed me to connect with my authentic self and to see that balance, even joy, is possible.

New Confidence, New Presence

“I feel more spacious in myself now.

With my partner, I’m slower, more understanding.

With myself, I’m kinder.

Confidence has grown, too. I’m really enjoying life again.

Yes, temptations still arise and sometimes the addict part of me shows up — but it’s much less, and I know how to meet it with compassion.”

Simon’s Message to Others

“All I can share is my experience: this has changed my life, and I’m incredibly grateful.

I sometimes wonder how long I would’ve stayed trapped in patterns of addiction and harshness, and how much that would’ve cost me, if I hadn’t taken the leap.

If you’re considering working with George, don’t wait as long as I did. This work is worth it.
