Mr Matt Smith
Intelligent and striving, she takes direction well and is remorselessly professional. Tough, strong-minded, she marries resolution with the welcome capacity to take stock and laugh at herself when necessary. Be it painting at a hospital, hiking up a mountain, or playing with a child, Georgie accepts any challenge thrown to her, and make something creative out of her situation.

Even in the midst of a able and delightful crowd, Georgie has stood out. I can only echo the justified praise for her character, attitude and abilities in the reports from my colleagues. Georgie has achieved a tremendous amount (throughout her secondary education) and quality can never fallen victim to quantity. I know she will go on to do much.... The art, CCF, cross country, Malawi (project), drama, art, are all areas where Georgie has inspired and caught others up in the momentum of her enthusiasm and her capacity for hard graft. The Georgie shaped hole that she leaves will be hard to fill - and it will take several people to begin to do so! All power to her elbow and best wishes for a rich and fulfilling career.

Georgie is an exceptional trainer and highly skilled in the art of interpersonal communication. I am always impressed with her level of professionalism, knowledge and the practical approach she takes with her clients.
I wish I had learned from her when I started out as I would have saved so much time and energy in developing my conversation skills.

Georgie would be an asset to any team. She is an agile problem solver, exceptionally well organised and possesses an unwavering can-do attitude. These attributes, combined with her strong desire to bring about positive change, make Georgie an inspiring colleague and natural leader. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her for future project management roles.

‘Given the lack of formal training for her post, I have been particularly impressed by the rapidity with which she has embraced the full range of responsibilities and delivered all that was expected of her, and more, against a diverse and challenging programme of tasks and training alongside her academic studies. She is to be especially commended for her outstanding contribution to the adventure training and sporting opportunities within the Unit; there are few to touch the energy, drive and commitment she brings to the service of others.
What she currently lacks in experience she makes up for in raw talent – and delivers a performance that points to an individual of rare ability who has what it takes to reach the highest pinnacle in her chosen career.’

Her level of curiosity, humour, intellect and ambition was apparent from the outset... The fact Georgie was investing in herself using her own funds during her own time (and at such a young age) is a reflection of her drive and passion for learning. I have been teaching NLP for a number of years, Georgie certainly pushed me into "fifth gear"... I am sure her future is bright, rewarding and extremely successful.

Trigger Conversations Events
'Trigger Conversations is an amazing and fresh concept/company, and I highly recommend attending the very next event if you haven’t been before! I felt so at ease at the event, and found I was happily and effortlessly pouring out my deepest thoughts and secrets to (previously) perfect strangers right from the start. Georgie, the founder, is incredibly warm and welcoming, and makes sure everyone feels welcome and part of the Trigger fam from the moment you walk through the door.'

Speaking
‘Georgie is one of the few people I’ve met with a natural ability to speak on a stage. She draws the crowd in with natural pauses that let the audience feel, and questions that force them to think introspectively. Georgie was a pleasure work with as we prepared for the TED stage. I also had fun pondering random thoughts with her. She’s a great person, and a speaker that anyone would be lucky to learn from.’

Conversation Training
''Georgie is a lovely trainer - a genuine person whose passion and enthusiasm spurs you on. She helped me to deprogramme the negative in me - the stuff that holds you back - the stuff that stops me from connecting to others and stops you from playing. I feel safe with her. She's got your back.''

Transformational Life Coaching
''Georgie can see the world as I see it.. she gives me the space I need to think – there are no awkward silences, just deep reflection and insightful conversation; there’s never any pressure. The biggest gift I got from working with Georgie was clarity. Through self awareness, and Georgie’s questioning skills, and her ability to play back what I’m saying in a new way, I came to understand exactly what I want. This is a tremendous gift, and is what I really needed: specific knowledge of what I want, why, and my next step to go and get it.''
