Recent reviews

George delivered such an inspiring keynote yesterday. The reaction from the entire room was incredible, and the parallels he drew were both accurate and relevant. The feedback across social media has been fantastic.

Stephen Knight – Chairman & CEO

There is something quite heroic about George King. This nation was built on daredevils and I think it is that buccaneering spirit that we have probably lost over the years. I admire the spirit and it is what made this country great.

Piers Morgan

I think that the workshop content was really interesting, added to George King’s experiences and perspectives. I think that having speakers with these types of experiences is really important, encourages discussion about neurodiversity and learning what motivates people to push themselves and overcome their fears.

George King was one of the most incredible and impactful speakers we’ve ever had at HubDot. His story is so powerful, and his delivery style is engaging and deeply human. His words captivated the entire audience, leaving us all eager to work on our ‘fears’ and follow his advice on transforming them into superpowers. I wholeheartedly recommend George to any organization or group, regardless of age, interested in exploring a universal feeling we all want to overcome and control.
