Bring George to your people
Talks that meet people right where they are
George Barker speaks to professional teams, young professionals, non-profits, and communities of every size. Honest about the hard seasons, practical about the next small step, and never preachy. Real stories, a little humor, and a message people carry home.
From the room
What people say after
“That was truly the best 35 minutes I have spent in a very long time. I have listened to a lot of motivational speakers in my past career, and this one stood far above the rest. George’s message is clear and concise, and he embodies the spirit of exactly what he is talking about.”
The approach
The New Success Model
Empower the individual
Build up the individuals on your team, whatever your team happens to look like, and everything else starts to move. More sales. More profit. A stronger, steadier organization. Deeper relationships at home. And all of it while the people around you are actually living a happier life.
Empowering one person at a time is not the soft option. It is the whole engine. It works on a sales floor, in a break room, in a classroom, and at a kitchen table.

Why George
Thirty-five years of building people up
George Barker has run his own business for more than 35 years, and in his spare time he co-wrote Don’t Be A Cow with his wife Rachel. His passion is a simple one: helping people become the very best version of themselves.
Over the years he has spoken to banks, teachers, government teams, young professionals, non-profits, and community groups, and he has been the keynote on more than a few stages. What started as talks for business during a season when everyone was suddenly on a screen has grown into something wider: honest conversations for any room that wants to build its people up.
He speaks from a life he has lived, not a script he memorized. That is the difference people feel, and it is the reason they remember it.
