George Kourounis is a top notch speaker who truly cares about pushing his audience to new levels of success.  As a man who has taken risks that most of can hardly fathom, George has the authority to demand higher standards from those who are lucky enough to see him speak.  I highly recommend George Kourounis to anyone looking for big results.

We recently had the privilege of having George present at our conference for Emergency Management professionals.  George's passion for nature was clearly evident throughout his session and kept the audience engaged with his stories and images. How he tied his experiences in to meet the needs of this particular audience was excellent.  Despite having celebrity recognition, his modest approach to his experiences drew the audience into his adventures.  His session was ranked one of the best by the audience of the three day conference.
 
I would strongly recommend George to be part of any Conference or as a public speaker at an event.  While being engaged as an audience, people will walk away with a greater appreciation for the forces on this planet and the delicate balance we as people share with nature.

Attending George's lectures  is always exciting, informative and entertaining.  He connects with his audience on many levels, ultimately giving us exactly what we hoped for and more!

At the Ontario Science Centre, our "Meet the Stormchaser" program featuring George Kourounis was a huge success.  The multi-media, the stories, the interaction with our visitors, all far surpassed our expectations.  George wove excellent science content into his presentation and worked well with our staff, visitors and media.  We look forward to having George back for special programs in the future.
