The Way He Works
Heart-centered — for real
Not a technique George performs, but a way of being his clients feel in every interaction.
George is one of the most heartfelt business coaches I’ve had the chance to work with — and I’ve worked with many in the ‘heart-centered business’ space. The others often felt like they were putting a ‘heart-centered costume’ on top of mainstream techniques. George’s approach starts from being of real service to people, and the way he is being in his work inspires me every day to be more generous and service-focused.
Many coaches only talk about being authentic — George Kao is truly an example of that! His approach is so different. I’ve been following his work for some time, and I’m deeply convinced of the quality he offers through his courses and content. I don’t know any other marketer with such high values, living them authentically himself.
I was so impressed — not only with George’s knowledge (it seems like George knows everything!), but with his heart, his compassion, and his wisdom in running a business.
Brian SmithLife Coach & Grief Educator The way George teaches marketing really fits my nervous system. You don’t have to shout your message — you can be authentic and real, and the people who truly need you will find you.
Liesel TevershamMentor for Sensitive Introverts Joyful Productivity
A calmer, kinder way to get things done
Students of George’s Joyful Productivity work describe the same shift — from overwhelm to a rhythm that actually holds.
Joyful Productivity has been a profound experience for me. What if you could have an assistant you fully trust to schedule your life in a way that felt aligned with your heart and soul’s purpose — flexible, adaptable, always making sure you were taking care of yourself first? Joyful Productivity helped me get in touch with this assistant inside me.
Dr. Steve CheeIntegrative Medicine Having been structure-resistant my entire life, I’m starting to soften in my approach to my calendar. George allows for all degrees of flexibility, which makes it possible for me to experiment and play. Instead of being haphazard and impulse-driven, I feel more intentional and in harmony with my actions — relaxed, happier, and more productive.
Tomar LevineSpiritual Mentor I was very reluctant before joining — I thought I had enough on my plate. Yet deep down I knew I wasn’t spending my time in the way that served me best. Joyful Productivity gave me a gentle approach to make small changes, with room to play and experiment. This program has been a game changer!
Tara WhitneyIntuitive Eating Counselor Out of the 20-plus courses I’ve taken from George, this one has facilitated the most shift in my world. It addresses time, and our relationship with our agreements — especially agreements to our self. This program is helping me rewire how I navigate productivity, efficiency, AND self-care.
Tia MaHolistic Resilience Coach This program is imbued with George’s signature gentleness and self-care as cornerstones to joyful productivity. Applying the principles and practices has up-levelled both the quality of my self-care and my time-blocking and wholehearted productivity.

Marketing & AI
Authentic marketing & AI, demystified
From his courses and group programs — practical skill, taught in a way that respects your values and your nervous system.
George Kao’s AI course is incredibly helpful, approachable, and human. He offers practical skills, creative encouragement, and a grounded invitation to move past fear and start exploring what’s possible with AI. I’m already using it as a co-creative partner in my business — I feel more confident, curious, and ready to keep integrating AI in meaningful ways.
Joy TaylorTransformational Leadership Coach I don’t have the bandwidth to keep up with all the nonstop changes in AI, let alone figure out what’s actually useful. So it’s been really helpful to have this group — and George curating what matters for a business like mine. And it isn’t just about prompts or tactics; the program teaches a more thoughtful, creative, integrity-based way of working with AI.
Mike WangInner Fitness Trainer & Coach This course has enabled me to be more than just a ‘user of ChatGPT’. The greatest benefits: a coherent strategy for how to best use AI in my business, and processing the impact of it all alongside a like-minded group of people. That has really decreased the overwhelm I feel from how fast everything is changing.

Michael WilliamsMemoir-Writing Coach With George I’m able to rest and breathe while creating and building my business to an updated 2.0 level — more than any business coach has ever been able to offer me before. I highly recommend George for clarity and support beyond all expectations.
