"George has been coaching me for several years now. He has helped me gain awareness about my relationship with my mother, my beliefs about men, and helped me strategize moves to grow in my career. He is a great listener and approaches coaching in a patient, caring, yet wonderfully direct way. I walk away from my sessions with a sense of clarity that has led me to make different choices and grow in ways I didn’t know were possible. He gives the gift of insight, compassion, and has a sense of humor that is absolutely delightful. If you’re looking for an Executive or Life Coach I highly recommend George."

"George is a brilliant business coach. I had the pleasure of being coached by George for 8 sessions in 2018. I learned great tactics on time management and I was extremely enlightened on strengths I didn’t even know I had. He helped me to think deeply about weaknesses and habits that were holding me back from demanding more from my team. I walked away feeling more empowered to ask for more. I learned to think profoundly about the reasons for my good and bad habits/behaviors and was equipped with tools on how to change for the better. George is kind, always willing to listen, and he is a fierce leader and connector. I will definitely keep him as a business partner!"

"Nobody can figure it all out alone. And as the owner of healthcare organization with 14+ providers (and growing), I needed some new insights into my leadership style. I found George Donald and got the help I needed. George's interpersonal warmth and incredible listening skills were just the thing to help me move out of stuckness and into fresh insights about what I needed and what I was or wasn't hearing about the needs of others in my company. Working with George, with his clear coaching expertise, made a real difference. I subsequently had the pleasure of serving with him on a 3-person executive leadership committee for a professional organization where I found him to be an incredibly generous collaborator, willing to take the lead on items where he was clearly strongest, while yielding to others' strengths on items we could handle more readily. He's an all around good guy, and really centered and grounded. I hope you'll consider having George take you to the next step, too."

"George is my personal development coach. He is a great listener enabling him to dive deeper with great questions and challenges for introspection. His coaching is not “therapy” and he is not a “guru” or whatever other fear I had before I started working with him. You’ll explore your implicit assumptions and explore the emotional side of your decisions, interactions, and other day-to-day life activity we typically leave unexplored. The value George provides me is insight and observation from another male’s perspective about how I show-up and interact with the world. His coaching is about personal performance at a deeper level than trying to teach “habits” or “discipline”. George helps me explore the underlying beliefs and emotional perspective of performance. He is not a “Drill Sargent” type of coach. You won’t leave with a list of “to do” activity where he is going to hold you to account for integrity. He can do that, but he challenges you to explore deeper, interpersonal interactions in between coaching sessions. I can only speak from my own experience. I am more aware and thoughtful as I engage in my daily activities."

"It took me a few days to get this together as I have so much to say about George. I will start by saying that Historically, I was one to think I can figure things out on my own. I actually still struggle with this thought that "I don’t need anyone" I have also realized that this thought was a way to protect myself from the pain of disappointment. I had a pretty great system in place for myself. I remember in my 3rd or 4th coaching session I was talking about my system I used to protect myself and GD looked at me and said "you’re a genius". I didn’t know how to take that, I wasn’t sure if he was being sarcastic or condescending. What I do know is that I felt seen and heard, I had a thought that he was truly listening to me and was giving me the space to process what was going on. It was one of the first times I truly appreciated myself. I actually looked back at little Edwin and said, "damn… You are a beast little guy". I didn’t know what coaching would be like and I didn’t know that I can make it what I want it to be. At least with a coach like George Donald I know I have the space to express blocks I may think I have or goals I would like to be held accountable for. Sometimes I don’t even know what road I'm on and my coach helps me read the map so I can find a potential way. I appreciate that there is no advice given and that GD shares his life experiences as a way to connect and provide insight. This recommendation doesn’t do justice to how grateful I am for George Donald's coaching but I hope it inspires someone to give him a call or shoot him a message and acquire his services."

"George Donald is an exceptional coach. I came to George to help me navigate through my career, but he ended up helping me navigate through my life. George Donald was kind and patient. He made me feel like family and not just a client. I never felt like I was on the clock during our virtual sessions. He put me at ease, and because of his superb interpersonal skills, I was able to open up and get the help I needed to be a better me. During my six sessions, I learned about emotional intelligence and how to be a better team player. These skills have helped me tremendously in my everyday life, and I am very thankful to have had George as a coach."

"George has been an excellent coach and collaborator on communication strategies. As more and more of our lives become digital experiences, the human side of connectedness can easily be lost amongst the noise. He does a great job of listening and asking questions in order to understand the underlying purpose and bring that to the forefront."

"George Donald is an exceptional coach and group facilitator. I had the pleasure of attending a weekend seminar at the Wright Foundation in January of 2020. While in attendance, I witnessed first hand the skill and alacrity with which George Donald led his group through the training exercises. I highly recommend George Donald as a coach for those seeking to sharpen their social and emotional skills."

"Recently I received career coaching from George Donald and was very impressed with his listening skills, he really tuned in to my needs. He asked thought-provoking questions rather than giving me standard career coaching advice. The coaching he did provide was very insightful, inspiring, and motivating. George Donald has a gift, and I highly recommend him."

"I appreciated George's candor and insights into what daily attitudes and habits were impacting my ability to be successful. Having spoken to him I am now more mindful of how I present myself in the workplace and especially my leadership. I also learned to recognize my emotions and the impact they have on daily work and harness them for improvement. George was always on time, professional and very attentive. I would recommend this session to whoever wants a straight, no-nonsense discussion on how to help yourself progress."

"I’ve been very lucky to be coached by George for the past year or so. He was extremely patient with me, observant, and knows when to dig a little deeper; plus, he’s not afraid to call me out on any stinking thinking. I’ve seen improvements in my work habits, relationship, and identifying my feelings because of him. I highly recommend if anyone is looking for a coach; he will push to see what you’re capable of."

"George is an amazing and patient coach, he coached me for over one year and helped me during tough times in my career and personal life. George's caring approach to coaching helped me learn more about myself and improve how I interact with others around me. This helped me advance in my career and even in starting a support group for Sudanese Americans to realize their potential in the US."

"George's presence is one of a kind. Not only did I felt seen and heard in our sessions, most importantly I began creating a new belief that I matter. Working with George, I shifted many of my limiting beliefs about the opposite sex, which led me to have authentic friendships with men for the first time in my life! I developed a new perception about my career and job searching, building more confidence as a leader in everything I do, and most importantly I was inspired to begin my recovery from addiction. George Donald is a man with the special gift of a big heart and a talent for direct and empowering feedback."

"I have been doing work at the Wright Foundation for 6 months now, and I have experienced an incredible shift in my life. I have gained more emotional awareness, am able to express myself more fully and am extremely more productive and engaged in my life because of it. George Miller is an incredible leader and coach and helps people truly uncover their limiting beliefs and have the courage to break through blocks that are holding them back. I can't wait to continue my work there and am excited to continue sharing this program with the people I love in my life!"

"George is one of the most insightful people I've ever worked with. He coached me during the year of transformation, and was instrumental in my personal growth. Partly because of George, I am a better business owner, leader, husband, and over all human. George has a zest for life and is always striving for more, which inspires me to continue to reach for more in my own personal growth. I can honestly say that there is noone in my life that leads by example more than George. I wholeheartedly recommend George as a coach to anyone looking."
