HI, I'M DR. GEORGE JAMES

I’m an Executive Coach, International Speaker, Licensed Therapist, Corporate Consultant, Family Dynamics Consultant, and published author.

My mission is to guide leaders, entrepreneurs, couples, family-run foundations, and businesses toward healthier relationships and greater personal growth. Through therapy, coaching, and speaking, I help people move through life’s challenges with clarity, connection, and courage.

George Talks, LLC

At George Talks, my mission is to help people move through fear, conflict, and self-doubt so they can lead with clarity and live with intention.

​

Whether you're stepping into a new leadership role, navigating a major life change, or trying to break free from old patterns, I offer tools and perspective to help you take action. Through coaching, therapy, events, and real conversations, I guide individuals, couples, families, leaders and entrepreneurs
through the hard stuff so they can step into what’s possible. This work is about more than fixing problems. It’s about helping people give themselves permission to grow, take risks, and live boldly.

Meet Dr. George James

I’m a therapist, executive coach, speaker, and founder of George Talks. More than anything, I’m someone who
believes in people. I’ve spent over 20 years working with individuals, couples, families, and leaders as they
face the hard stuff: conflict, doubt, transition, and the question so many of us carry quietly—is something more
possible for me?

​

Before I built this work into my life’s mission, I was following a path that looked good on paper but didn’t quite fit the dream I had for my life. I knew I wanted to do something bigger. Something that helped people show up more fully for themselves and for the people around them. Taking that leap changed everything for me.

​

Today, I get to do work I love with people who inspire me. I help clients navigate the messiness of life and
leadership with more clarity, confidence, and courage. I also speak across the country and contribute to
conversations around mental health, growth, and what it really means to lead.

​

At home, I’m a husband and dad of two, a diehard Eagles and Phillies fan, and I’m still learning every day how
to give myself permission to keep growing, too.

Testimonial

Dr. George James has been an invaluable partner to the Abington Friends School community in the programs that he has designed and led for AFS families. On topics of child anxiety and racialized trauma, Dr. James' depth of clinical and academic expertise have grounded useful and accessible frameworks and concepts for parents. But it is his spirit of profound care, thoughtful listening and supportive encouragement that has truly touched our families. Dr. James has a gift for connecting with people in his warmth, generous spirit and empathy that opens doors to meaningful discussion and reflection. He models the humility, curiosity and compassion that he encourages for self and others in thinking about challenging topics. I truly value Dr. James as a partner to me as a school leader in helping us think about creating a healthier school community for all.

WHAT WOULD CHANGE IF YOU STOPPED HOLDING BACK

I Give Myself Permission

For years, I’ve helped people move through fear, perfectionism, and self-doubt to build better relationships, take bold risks, and live fuller lives. In I Give Myself Permission, I share the stories, insights, and tools I’ve seen change lives, including my own. This book is for anyone who feels stuck, unsure, or afraid to go after what they really want. Whether it’s your career, your relationship, or your sense of purpose, I want to help you believe in what’s possible and give yourself permission to chase it. You don’t have to wait for the world to give you the green light. You can start now.
