George Mumford

George Mumford is a globally recognized public speaker, teacher, and coach. He’s taught the art of performance and mindfulness to people from every walk of life—from the locker room to the board room, Yale to jail—using concepts that are powerful, yet easy to understand and apply.

Michael Jordan credits him with transforming his on-court leadership of the Bulls, helping Jordan lead the team to six NBA championships, while Ariana Huffington said, “George Mumford is literally a professional game-changer.” Mumford also helped Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, and countless other NBA players turn around their games as well as teams like the Miami Dolphins, New York Knicks, and Boston College Eagles.

Mumford began teaching mindfulness and meditation after leaving a career as a financial analyst and earned a Master’s in counseling psychology. His philosophy and techniques have been informed by his own inspirational journey.

While a student-athlete at the University of Massachusetts—where he roomed with future NBA Hall-of-Famer Julius Erving—injuries forced Mumford out of basketball and eventually into an addiction to pain medication and drugs. With the help of meditation and mindfulness, he got clean and made it his mission to teach and work with others.

Mumford currently resides in his hometown of Boston, MA but enjoys traveling the globe to teach and inspire others to unlock their own masterpiece within.
