Aaron George
Aaron George is a transformational coach and Insurance Advisor. He believes that learning and development is a main component to living a successful life. Aaron has been a trainer/coach for over 10 years. He started his career as a junior accountant; and transitioned into training and coaching, a result of the many life lessons he learned while going through a divorce at the age of 23.
While working to rise up from depression and all the things that accompany divorce, Aaron realized that the tools that can be used for healing were already in his possession through his subconscious mind.
Aaron has furthered his skill set with certifications from Langevin Learning Services and Fowler Wainwright Institute. He uses a combination of his own life lessons and systems acquired from his certifications to assist his clients in achieving their desired outcomes.
Aaron has a passion for community development and has volunteered his time to various causes over the past 7 years.
