Top Moments
Most of us aren't ready and aren't good at having real conversations. We're not good at having difficult conversations because real conversations challenge us. Real and difficult conversations make us stand in our own truth; they teach us that we have to be truth-tellers. We've got to listen to
learn.
People Tend to Avoid Difficult Conversations About Racial Injustices
I think some of the most important conversations we can have each day are the conversations we have with
ourselves.
The Most Important Conversations Are Those You Have With Yourself
What gives one human being the audacity to think that they have the right to take someone else's life? What is it that would make one human being totally devalue and disrespect the life of another human being, regardless of what color they are? It's human arrogance that one could be so disrespectful of the greatest gift of all—the gift of a
life.
Society Needs to Have More Conversations About the Value of Human Life
If you pick up our paper currency, it says 'United States of America.' If you flip it over, it says, 'We the People.' But, in many ways, we're living a lie because we're not who we say—we're not united, and it's not about the
people.
How Would George Advise Those Consumed By Anger Amid the Police Brutality Protests?
Each of us tends to see the world through our own lens. Maybe it'd be helpful if we attempted to see the world through the lens of others? I know one thing for sure: It would give us a balanced
perspective.
Viewing the World Through Different Lenses Can Broaden Your Perspective
A hard cold reality is this: Many days, we spend more time talking to the screen than we do face to face with a human
being.
Approach Conversations About Race from a Lens of Shared Experience, Not Black vs. White
If you can't lead yourself, how in the world are you going to lead anybody
else?
A Sign on George's Mirror Says, "Practice Self-Leadership & Self-Discipline"
I would like to ask each of those who are listening to this interview to take a pledge ... The pledge is: 'I will fully commit to being a positive change agent and difference-maker in as many lives as
possible.'
Commit to Being a Positive Change Agent for as Many Lives as Possible
As a black person growing up, there's always someone telling you, 'We know what's best for you.' If I don't know what's best for me, then how the hell can somebody else think they know what's best for
me?
George Has Improved His Ability to Think for Himself
Over the last few months, I've asked numerous friends to tell me who they think are the five greatest leaders on the globe right now, and none of them can be a corporate executive. I've not had one single person who could get past three names. That's overt evidence that we're in the midst of a leadership
crisis.
A Sign on George's Mirror Says, "Practice Self-Leadership & Self-Discipline"
Ultimately, when it's all said and done, our words must be manifested in our behavior. Anything short of that and we're living a
lie.
George Thinks Most Corporate & Organizational Speak Is Insincere & Lacks Substance
There are so many undiscovered young folks out there. They need somebody to say a simple phrase to them: 'I believe in you.' Do you know how many kids have never had a human being say that to
them?
Telling Someone "I Believe in You" Can Change Their Life Trajectory
If a man or woman hasn't found something in life they're willing to die for, then maybe they're not fit to
live.
How Does the Civil Rights Movement Compare to the George Floyd Protests?
I'm a product of an educational system that was based on telling me what to do and what to think instead of teaching me how to think. So much of my time now is spent trying to teach myself how to
think.
George Has Improved His Ability to Think for Himself
The first sign of intelligence is to admit that you don't know
something.
George Continually Asks Himself, "What Is It That I Don't Know That I Need to Know?"
In my lifetime, most people have never really tried to know me—they only have a surface impression. Maybe one of our challenges is to try and better understand each
other.
