George Kourounis

“George came to Trinity College School as part of the Mac Campbell Lecture series and enthralled a full house of students, faculty and parents with a dazzling audio/visual display and exciting and gripping tales of his encounters with nature. The audience was captivated by George’s presentation and his theme of always following one’s true passion resonated with many students. The question and answer session that ended the formal part of the evening was thought-provoking, but George’s willingness to speak with a number of students informally afterwards also went a long way to making this evening a very special one for many!”

“We were pleased with George's presentation and impressed with his ability to capture the audience’s attention. There was never a dull moment as George kept everyone engaged as he spoke about fear to our audience of 4200+.”

“George proved to be the most gracious presenter we have had the privilege to work with. Everybody was absolutely stoked to have been there. We really appreciate all the effort he put in.”

“Thank you for making such an incredible and gripping presentation. It was an amazing experience watching the stories being told in person! It was thrilling to see the pictures; to hear the stories behind the pictures was jaw-dropping! Our audience was hanging on every word, and sometimes the edge of their seats.”

“What a delight to have such an inspiring presentation kickoff the conference; the photos and film clips were truly amazing. I always wondered who was standing on the edge of the hurricane or other disaster, documenting the action. Now I know, and I’m grateful for that.”

“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.”

“I have been the fortunate recipient of a steady flow of very appreciative comments about the Spring Speakers Series, some saying that it was the best talk that they had heard in years. Over and above the fascination that so many people have with the extremes of nature, you have a rare ability to connect with the audience and draw in each person as if they were sharing the adventure with you.”

“George was simply an outstanding motivational speaker who went well beyond his speaking role to assist our Conference Team throughout the entire conference. He was well received by delegates and made a special effort to connect with each and every individual in attendance. If you have the opportunity to work with George, I know you and potential clients will be the better for the experience.”

“Working with George Kourounis at our recent TEDxMilton event was a pleasure and an honour. George fixates the audience with his tales of exploration and danger. The TEDxMilton committee was elated that George would take the time out of his busy schedule to come out to our Inaugural TED Talks event. We wish him well as his future engagements unfold and hope to see him back for a future TEDx event in Milton again.”

“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.”
