"In the four months that I have been working with George, I can honestly say that I have transformed my life. George has helped steer me in the direction of my dreams and compassionately reminds me of what I am most passionate about when those passions are concealed from my view. I feel a sense of purpose since working with George that I hadn't felt in quite a while. He is a coach, a compassionate listener, and a tremendous stand for people being in love with life. If you are reading this and asking yourself, 'Should I do it?' do yourself a favor and say 'Yes! Yes to your life, yes to your dreams, just simply Yes!' You will not regret it."
R. Honan
“Working with my George has provided me with a truly unique space and a structure for really digging deep into areas that I may have previously flirted with but did nothing about. With George, I have found myself without the excuses that previously prevented me from making headway. Our relationship is a place without excuses and has allowed me to reach a level of honesty with myself that I never anticipated I could reach. As a result, I have learned things about who I am that allow me to show up every day as the person I truly want to be.”
Peter Anderson
“GEORGE ROCKS”
D. Maxwell
"George has given me a great gift: the gift of sight. After each of our sessions it is as if a scale falls from my eyes and the haze of my life is clarified even more. His ability to help me see and implement my life visions and passions is priceless!"
K. Osenga
"I got more out of this (free half-hour phone) coaching session, that I have from 8 weeks of therapy!"
K. Efstratis
“Thank you for an incredible personal journey in just one month!”
C. Fairbanks
“It's been such an incredible month. I can't thank you enough for the peace and sense of balance that you are helping to infuse back into my life. I'm re-discovering the beauty of life and all the treasures that I've overlooked for far too long.”
K. Baker
“George – thank you for helping me live a life “fully engaged”. “Coach” does not seem grand enough for your support. Thank you for your commitment to others. It is a true blessing.”
D. Lyons
“Working with george has been life changing. My weekly sessions have provided a safe environment from which I´ve been able to openly and honestly explore my approach to life (personal and professional relationships, my own life philosophy, career, etc.). George engages from a level of personal experience and a genuine openness that one rarely finds in people (let alone professional coaches and therapists). I can´t emphasize how profoundly he has influenced my ability to find a more peaceful and productive way of being.”
O. Miitermaier
“I just have to say thank you. Today was huge. You are so amazing. You opened my mind and my heart with a level of insight and understanding that is just incredible. Thank you, thank you, and thank you!”
K. Baker
“My life has been so enriched and blessed by having you as my “life” coach.”
G. Thomas
“Your coaching is very special to me and has been like magic inviting my soul into the world.”
J. Revels
“George, I want to tell you how much I appreciate the encouragement you give me. You are incredibly compassionate and insightful and the support you give enables me to have the courage to do things that I might otherwise delay for a long time. Thanks Coach. P.S. You have a great sense of humor, too.”
R. Reese
“George Fleming has been a tremendous personal coach for me. George was able to structure an intensive process for me that helped me articulate and establish a firm foundation for myself that more closely aligns my needs and goals with my talents and skills. George inspired a stronger sense of self-confidence for me and motivated me to take more responsibility for things I recognized were lacking not only from my professional life but also in the ways that my career interfaces on a daily basis with my personal life. I poured a lot of myself into the process with George, but got even more out of it, not the least of which is a Living Vision -- or a Personal Manifesto, as I've come to see it -- that will continue to form the basis for my growth as I move forward. After the intensive process with George, I felt empowered to take some direct actions in my professional life that will pay dividends for more over the long term.”
W. Turner
“Dear Friend,
Ever since I began my work as a speaker I have wanted to offer participants a way to build upon the energy and principles in my programs through personal coaching. I give my heart and soul in my events, yet know that follow-up and application of the ideas in the seminar are often the most important keys to creating LASTING positive momentum in your life. But I needed to find a coach I so completely trusted that I felt truly excited to recommend. George Fleming is that coach! He is extraordinary in the ways most crucial to being a superb coach. He listens more intently than anyone I have ever known and he has a magnificent way of helping you discover your authentic passion, purpose, vision, and the practical path to accelerate your life. Whether your focus is on improving personal relationships, expanding your professional passion and success, taking charge of your health, or breaking through fear, procrastination, indecision, or confusion, George will help you navigate your way to fulfillment. You will find that hiring him as your personal coach is inspiring, powerfully supportive, a surprisingly easy process, and the best investment you’ve ever made! Be ready to breakthrough to the life you TRULY want!”
Brian Biro, Fortune Magazine’s #1 Speaker
“The work I've done with you has been incredible. It's as if I've been able to open up my heart, memory, and mind and look around, learning all over about myself. Looking within to discover these things about myself has given me more hope and purpose than anything in a long, long time. Rather than face the future vaguely aware that there has to be more that I can do, I now see it as a wide horizon where the world is just waiting to accept what I can give. Your thoroughness and attention to these steps is really amazing.”

“I am absolutely blown away with how such a simple series of questions results in such valuable, revealing insight...you are the man! Thank you, Thank you!!!”
K. Baker
“It’s great talking to George because he always reminds me of the positive aspects of myself that I tend to ignore or forget about.”
V. Khait
“You have listened without judgment, and held the big image for me. Most importantly, you are helping me to break free from my self-limiting conversations. You have been good about not letting me get away with not doing the work. You have been an amazing listener, who has helped me to sort things out and, in some very crucial moments, helped me to see the humor in the stuck, heavy places in my brain.”
L. Moreland
“George is a coach who truly “sees” his clients. He is a master at checking in his ego so he can help his clients discover themselves and their life passions. I benefited greatly from his deep, intuitive insights about my life path and behavior. I have been blessed by his empathy, creativity and insights in our coaching work together.”
J. Rodriguez
“George is a wonderful listener and takes time to hear what you are saying, even without words. By the end (of the session) I felt a deep excitement to begin this journey, and that really, anything was possible. I also felt like I used to feel at the end of high school and before college, in the sense that the world was open to me, completely open. I felt that George really believes in me, more than I in myself. I feel that I am beginning something vitally important, and I’m thrilled.”
J. Bruce
“George, I found you to be exactly the type of coach that I would have wanted to work with — supportive, insightful and caring. I appreciated that you were open and flexible to my needs and that you asked what I wanted to focus on each week. Through our talks, I was able to more clearly articulate some really important ideas — thoughts that hadn’t quite surfaced for me before in the same way. The more important benefit of the coaching process for me was to have that hour each week to share what was on my mind, what I was feeling with another human being without fear of having my words be judged or brushed aside. To be free to talk to someone in a safe space, during a time set aside specifically for me and my personal growth. It’s an extremely special time to be able to have that and something that I will never forget.
L. Schumacher
“Looking back a few days later – it’s pretty amazing to me how much we’ve been covering in these calls. I’m consistently surprised how much of this is not about the actual what did I do for my week of coaching assignments…i.e., the tasks at hand, which is always my tendency to want to focus on. Instead what we are really doing is getting into a space we can look at the bigger overall framework that is holding me back, or affecting the way I think about how I am in this world. All I can say is WOW, George, you really are so great at what you do! “
D. Weinstein
“Coaching helped me find the answers that where deep inside of me. Through dynamic exercises, tools and discussions, I've found many answers and even healthier questions. Coaching has been one of the most self-empowering decisions I've made. I now feel more confident in myself than ever.
Coaching has been a productive and insightful tool over the past year and half. It has been what I've wanted it to be. I see common themes appear in different times and parts of my life. Each phase appears to move in a cycle, but each time that I rotate I'm at a higher plane. I've used coaching for so many aspects of my life. I would direct the focus onto what I either needed to address or what was speaking to me at the time. George was able to adjust to these different times.
I've used coaching from how to make life a m to develop a more accepting and happy life. I've used coaching to help me to become a more influential leader at work. I've used coaching to help me serve as a more positive and dynamic role model. I've used coaching to enhance my relationships with everyone I interact with. I've used coaching to help me improve while training and completing a half Ironman. I've used coaching when deciding to change careers and to pursue a teaching credential. I've used coaching when I've felt the agony of defeat and then realizing that it was simply a lesson. Coaching has impacted me in so many different ways and in so many different aspects of my life.
When I look back, some things come to mind:
I'm more self accepting.
I'm more aware of my judgments and how they affect my relationships.
I'm more aware of the agony I was in from expecting perfection.
I'm more aware of the necessity of goals and commitments.
I know that I can control and ultimately renegotiate my commitments.
I know I can be happy now in this given time. I don't need to wait until something happens to be happy. Such as, "When I get a raise, then I'll be happy!"
A. Orozco
“George, thanks for your encouragement and abilities in getting us to “go there.” It’s been such a great experience coaching with you, and I am so very excited about this process. I am excited that I feel this shift happening.”
D.Larson
“I have worked with George for about a year now. I’ve found George to be very attentive and perceptive of the reasons for the roadblocks that I was experiencing. In helping me to overcome these George is very resourceful: he’s full of ideas and suggestions. In the beginning of our association George used a number of tools to help me take stock of patterns of my behavior – what I was at the time and, also, what I would like to do that would be meaningful and enjoyable. Once the goals emerged and solidified George provided a consistent and unwavering support. He was fully and completely on my side, holding the space for me, and was relentless in not allowing me to compromise by falling into my old resistance patterns. Without that support I would have given up a long time ago, as I’ve often done in the past. He helps me reach beyond my fears and limitations to what is truly mine: my heart and my Wisdom. In that he helps me to connect what is meaningful in my life with successfully achieving my goals that are aligned with that meaning.”
V.Khait
“Thank you for being the perfect coach.”
R.Honan
“My work with Insight Action over the last 5 months has brought me back to a feeling of peace of mind—a better place to be. It has been many years since I first heard the term, peace of mind and some time thereafter before I learned the true meaning and value of the phrase. For me, working with George has reopened and refreshed the idea of attaining peace of mind. At the beginning of the coaching process, I could not identify peace of mind as a personal goal. Too many different thoughts, motivated by a litany of reasons, put me in a place where I often lost track of what was best for me. Where did I want to be? George has been able to get me focused on seeing and painting the big picture of my life, and what I want my life to look like, while still living day-to-day. In painting that picture, I have experienced George as most helpful in removing assumptions and developing and fostering unrealized potential, desire and dreams. All of this result has been accomplished in a format of my choosing with George serving as a motivator, mediator, ideas generator and referee, all rolled up into one.”
R. Pace
“Moving to the Bay Area recently kicked off a period of major transition and growth in my life. Unfulfilled by the career counselor approach, and in need of perspective on a deeper level, I decided to look for someone who understood the journey of discovery that I was on and could offer guidance and support. I knew I didn’t need a counselor, I needed a coach. Not knowing if such a thing even existed or where to find such a person, I posted an ad on a local list serve and George’s name came highly recommended. After our first phone conversation, I knew I made the connection that I was looking for.
The last three months of working with George have been filled with intense personal growth for me. I was ready for it, and with George’s support, perspective, and thought-provoking challenges as guidance, I can honestly say that I reached a new place with myself and my understanding of where my life is headed. As a result of this experience, I strongly believe in the value of coaching and highly recommend George in this capacity. He is insightful, listens well, and was committed to my journey each step of the way.
R. Bressani
“I feel myself growing and evolving as a person every week. Setting clear intentions and goals every week has been a very powerful experience that has helped me focus on what I truly want. George's insights and perspectives have made the process comfortable and safe.”
V. Ferman
“You have been a total champion for me. You have more than filled that role for me. You helped me to focus on what is most important for me. You have really given me the tools to look at things differently. The intake session was one of the best experiences of my life. It has been imprinted in my brain. It was delightful. I was really heard – the real me.”
R. Banta
"I attended one of George's group workshops last summer, and found it very helpful for re-focusing on my mission and core values. Two months later, I decided to take the plunge and commit to weekly one-on-one meetings with George. We have been working together for six months now, and I'm blown away by the impact. I can honestly point to the following as tangible evidence of impact:
- I am prioritizing taking care of myself -- I write in my journal several times a week, am less reactive to daily crises, and feel more calm. Exercise went from twice per week to four times per week; eating habits improved. Even though I hadn't set out to lose weight, I dropped 10 pounds.
- I am prioritizing relationships with others. My wife and I started having weekly check-ins, something we had talked about doing for a long time but hadn't quite gotten around to. I'm spending more time with family and friends.
- When face with a crucial new job decision, I made the call that more closely aligned with my personal vision as opposed to the choice that others were pushing me towards. I have since started my own company and am thrilled with the outcome.
- Most importantly, I am more focused on how I do things and live instead of what I do.
Sometimes I wonder, couldn't I have made this progress without coaching? I guess that it's possible. But all I know is that it wasn't happening, and now it is. I find it to be very powerful to have an accountability partner as I try to live the way I want to live. "
G.Tripp
“I’d like to take this opportunity to also thank you for all of the great work you are doing with me. I am certain that God brought you to me, and I am very grateful to you both! You have really helped me to focus on my true values and you have helped increase my self-understanding. God bless you!”
K. Osenga
"With each session you seem to nudge me (or rather, I nudge myself) back onto the path towards my goals. I can see why God placed you in my life."
