Helping People Become Who They Are

George Mumford, a.k.a. The Performance Whisperer, is a globally recognized speaker, teacher, and pioneer in sports psychology and performance. Since 1989, he’s been honing his groundbreaking performance and mindfulness techniques with people from locker rooms to board rooms, Yale to jail — as Phil Jackson’s ‘Secret Weapon’ to winning eight NBA Championships, helping Michael Jordan transform his leadership, and teaching Kobe Bryant to “just be.”

George’s work incorporates principles based in positive psychology, mindfulness, philosophy, neuroscience, the recovery movement, group and organizational dynamics, and spiritual traditions from around the world, all informed by his own inspirational journey. 

Kind Words

“George helped me understand the art of mindfulness. To be neither distracted or focused, rigid or flexible, passive or aggressive. I learned just to be.”
Kobe Bryant, 5-time NBA champion

“George has ‘Mumfied’ the teams I’ve coached over the past 20 years. He has a style of mindfulness that goes beyond ‘just sitting/breathing’ to art of mindfulness. For anyone needing to perform at the highest level, George’s teachings are for you.”
Phil Jackson, 13-time NBA champion

“Powerful lessons here for tapping into your own intrinsic capabilities and finding the confidence and clarity to let them radiate in the world in the face of the inevitable obstacles.”
Jon Kabat-Zinn, Ph.D., author of Coming to Our Senses

“A powerful reminder that connecting to the true essence of who we are, living it genuinely, and sharing it with others is one of the best gifts we can offer to the world. George creates a framework to unlock and cultivate a peaceful and authentic flow state within ourselves and in life.
— Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Change

“ Brilliant, brave, heartfelt! George’s journey uplifts and inspires joy, tears, and aha in-sights. Transcend your struggles today and unlock your own brilliance.
— Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart
