From Speaking, Workshops & Seminars

George is a consummate pro. His insights are exceptional. Develops full trust and has the highest ethics and integrity. Beyond all that, his techniques are very effective. I give my highest recommendation.

Jeff Jameson, Vice President of Human Resources at Arizona’s Children Association

George Gillas has an engaging, informative style that works very well for audiences to absorb complex information in short order. I can tell you, I have always enjoyed his content and deep thinking on his topics around the way people operate and why. If you get a chance to listen to George, I recommend it!

Michael D Goodman, President Revenue Kinetics, LLC

I invested 2 and 1/2 days with George Gillas to attend his live NLP seminar and can tell you that it was worth the time and money I invested. There were things in me that were reprogrammed that weekend that when I encountered certain situations the following week, my response and my behavior changed without thinking about it. I would give my personal recommendation to attend this session.

Steve Stapp, Director Sales and Marketing MasterCraft Boats, Arizona

I've known George for years and have worked with him on numerous occasions. He is a brilliant consultant and will do anything he can to achieve the greatest results for his clients.

Dave Sherman, Entrepreneur and Owner Biz Pics by Dave

I have known and worked with (in various capacities and industries) George Gillas since 1977. It is with great pleasure and high confidence that I pass on my personal recommendation of this outstanding professional. George is a high-energy speaker who has the ability to take complicated topics and make them simple to understand. He engages his audience with thought-provoking exercises and challenging questions and proceeds to give them the tools so they can gain the insights themselves. Some speakers on topics like mind-body connection, hypnosis, or NLP are too ethereal; George brings it all down-to-earth and makes it understandable and real for his audience.

Don Freda, President and CEO STRIVE Corporation

I attended a weekend seminar on NLP conducted by George. His knowledge of the subject matter was immense and he easily communicates that to his audience. 3 1/2 years later I still cannot drink coffee... he is quite amazing.

Sandra Pearson, Lead SD Analyst at American Express

George has ethics, knowledge, a warm personality, and professionalism. He only associates with the best of the best and I've found him to be of the highest moral character. All traits that are necessary in his line of work which sets him apart from the pack.

Kenneth von Hopf, Owner and Chief Technician Tech Paramedics

Thank you for a powerful presentation of amazingly useful information…personal self-induced pressure is diminished and my spirits have lifted.

Betsy Hamilton, Advertising Agency Account Executive

George Gillas has an uncanny ability to connect with any type of audience, large or small, in a personal and engaging way. I have known George for over 30 years and I am constantly amazed at his vitality and vigor as it relates to whatever topic he is addressing from the podium, from pure motivation to training. He is a master trainer and speaker and I am confident to wholeheartedly endorse him.

John A. Hancherick, General Manager, MarineMax, Panama City, FL

George Gillas is a high energy, engaging speaker with a wealth of experience and knowledge that will captivate your audience, leaving them with new ideas, insights, motivation, and desire to take action the minute they leave your meeting or event. We have had George as a speaker on various topics, ranging from Sales Training to NLP, and every time he delivers the best message of the meeting.

Joe Grushkin, CEO & President MaxExposure! Social Media

Thanks for your outstanding presentation… it is always refreshing to hear someone speak effectively on a subject and demonstrate such a common-sense approach as you did… it was helpful to hear about the practical approaches you exposed to us.

Paul Barnes, Executive Director, Program Chair Kiwanis Club of Phoenix

Your presentation was content rich. You gave practical take-a-ways that I was able to apply immediately… you have a fun sense of humor and outstanding presentation skills...I would definitely attend a longer seminar.

From Coaching Clients

I’m seeing a big change in my focus and drive this week, I’m feeling like my old self again. It’s exactly what I had hoped for when we began! You’re the man!

Aaron, Sales Executive / Inventor / Entrepreneur

I know you didn’t ask, but I will tell you anyway. Today, I am conquering one of my biggest ‘procrastinations/fears’. And, damn, I can do it! Thanks for tools to help me focus and get rid of some of the baggage I put upon myself in the last year and a half. And, I am finally able to forgive myself for not being able to ‘fix’ things that are not ‘fixable’. That has always been expected of me and what a burden it has been.

Lee

I have become more proactive and experienced new ‘levels’ of freedom during the holiday. My mind had/has definitely more attention/energy than before. I feel myself more out of the boundaries that I placed around myself all this time… This empowered me and made me feel proud of my achievement.”

S.K.

I am incredibly happier, recovering from a huge financial loss, but I have fully let go of the anger and hurt of the whole issue and am once again smiling with life. I can say that what you did for me was truly helpful and you came into my life at the perfect time. Once I finally did what my heart told me to do, and put aside the dread of being on my own again, I was able to breathe and say “wow, what a lesson I have learned!” Thanks for the blessing you have been to my life!

Becky

Amazing the work you do! … I got a new bid which was lower, and re-did the proposals. Interestingly…I put my full mark up on the labor, & w/ no hesitation, the proposal ended up higher than the 1st one that I was so worried about! Like I said, I had no problem adjusting the figures and sending it to the client! I get really emotional when I think about how much you have helped me. I can just go on and on about the results that I’ve had. I just don’t understand why everyone else hasn’t seen you. We all have things about ourselves that we want to change. Thanks!

Suzanne

Just wanted to say thank you for all the good work you do for people. We are especially thankful you are back in the Valley!

Annamarie & Her 2 Daughters

George has been my performance coach for a couple of years now. I was going through a lot of changes with my business, and my prior coach highly recommended George as the perfect person to help me through these challenges. George helped me with the difficult decision to change careers and launch a new company. As someone who doesn’t like change, this was extremely difficult for me and George talked me through all of it with different exercises, great and relevant questions, and lots of support. George has been my biggest cheerleader as I started over again with my new company and is always looking for ways to help me succeed. I can’t thank George enough for his unwavering support and coaching during one of the most difficult times in my life. To Your Success!

Steve Rupp - Steve Rupp Coaching

Coaching with George has helped me not only in my business but with my mindset and my personal life. I came to George wanting to understand what it was like to feel calm and how to turn my brain off and relax. Within a matter of weeks working together on this I was able to achieve the feeling of calm for the first time in my 32 years of life. To say that this was a profound change in my life would be an understatement. He's walked me through difficult decisions that I have needed to make in my business and celebrated wins with me, reminding me that I can truly accomplish anything. I often joke around with George and ask him if I can pay him more money! The amount that this has changed my life is something that brings me to tears every single time I consider it. My family, my significant other, clients, and friends have all seen a difference and they talk about George as if they know him too. I will be forever grateful for what I have learned, the woman I continue to become, and the guidance, brilliance, patience, understanding, leadership, and growth that George has provided. Many thanks!

Tess Crane - Realtor - Keller Williams

I have had the honor and privilege to have been coached by George Gillas for several years. George is incredibly insightful, as well as funny, smart, and direct. He has challenged me to think differently about things, ask great questions, and dig deep into the needs of my MAPS Coaching clients. What started out as a coaching relationship has grown into a friendship, and I am thankful for his honesty, intelligence, and sincerity. He has a passion for making a difference in people's lives and I would endorse any program that he created.

Paige Powers, MAPS Coach Keller Williams

Coaching with George has helped me focus on what's most important to me and achieve the results that I'm looking for in those areas. Whether its personal relationships, family, money, career advancement, sales achievement, or just being an amazing dad who is present and engaged with my kids, coaching with George helps me achieve the goals that I'm looking to accomplish by building out step-by-step programs and processes, bolstered by tough love and understanding and compassionate check-ins and accountability. I've gone from being burned out as a real estate agent and not sure what my next career move was, to being in the Top 2% of my local market in less than 2 years with George. All the while, coaching helped me build a life that I wanted to live and I tripled my time and my impact with my kids during that timeframe--coaching my son's soccer team, getting involved with my daughter's dance competitions, and taking my kids on multiple vacations and fun excursions. I spent more time doing things that I love to do--hiking, soccer, vacationing, etc.--AND exceeding my goals in my real estate sales career. All of this while going through a very difficult separation and divorce journey that put me on the most difficult personal journey I've ever been through. If you're looking to amplify your life and reach new levels, coaching with George will take you--IF you're transparent, vulnerable, and willing to admit where you at, and do the work needed to get where you want to go!

Nathan Arnold, Realtor Keller Williams

Coaching with George was transformational for me. When I first started, I was operating from a lot of past programming that wasn’t serving me and was wreaking havoc on my health, well-being, and productivity. Within a few months, I felt lighter and had released the anger that had been weighing me down. My husband noticed these changes and couldn’t believe how much I had transformed. It’s one thing to feel the change within yourself, but it’s incredibly affirming when those you love also benefit from it! I'm grateful for my coaching with George and highly recommend him as a partner in your growth!

Ryan Hvizda, Rainmaker Keller Williams

George has been a wonderful coach for me! He can help you address your mindset with his transformational coaching as well as your goals and/or production. Most of my business coaches have tried to mold me into their system, without getting to know me and how I tick. Being a Certified Kolbe Consultant, George was able to identify the patterns of how I operate, as well as my personality type, so he could gear his coaching to my strengths and not asking me to spend my time with actions that I'm not comfortable with. I can't say enough good things about my experience with George over the last three-plus years!

Todd Pearl Equity Union Managing Broker, Investor, Attorney, Realtor

The best word to describe working with George is Transformation. Through George’s approach to coaching, he creates a space of trust, comfort and safety as you explore what is holding you back from the success you are capable of and deserve. Combined with his great Business Coaching Skills, I now live in my power as I have doubled my business in the last year and am creating an incredible life both professionally and personally.
