Biography

George Lee’s story is one of resilience, leadership, and the quest for human excellence. Starting his career in the Singapore Army at just 16, George spent 24 years in service, advancing to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel. His military career was focused on leadership and organizational development, where he led restructuring efforts in combat and operational units and trained commanders to excel in their leadership roles.

Although George’s military success was rooted in a traditional mindset, his personal transformation began in 2008. While competing in the Subaru Car Challenge, a grueling test of endurance, George outlasted 399 contestants, keeping his hand on a car for 81 hours and 32 minutes. This experience revealed to him the extraordinary potential of the human mind—one that, when optimized, can achieve amazing results. Inspired by this realization,George embarked on a journey to learn the structured strategies that could replicate such feats of mental resilience and performance.

In 2012, George’s search for personal and professional growth led him to Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). After completing his Practitioner and Master Practitioner certifications, he dove deeper into NLP, eventually becoming an NLP Trainer and Master Trainer.

Through this journey, George met many individuals who expanded his understanding of NLP, but it was his encounter with Simon Gledhill in 2018 that had the most profound impact on him. George’s experience of Simon’s unique, passionate, and love-infused approach to teaching NLP deeply resonated with him, inspiring George to refine his own approach to coaching and training.
