George A. Peterson, known by friends and family as "G" or "GP," wears many hats: a devoted dad, coach, pet owner, author, and strong advocate for child mental health and wellness. His overarching mission is to guide individuals in becoming the best versions of themselves. His "Oh, Maya!" series is a testament to this, empowering children to overcome anxiety through the transformative power of storytelling. With over two decades in Human Resources-Talent Acquisition and as a lifelong student of human behavior, GP is not only well-versed in his field but is also a Certified Professional and Executive Coach. Through his coaching and consulting company, Thrive Mindset, he's committed to ensuring that families, rising stars, and executives flourish.

GP advocates for a distinctive 6C ecosystem, highlighting courage, compassion, community, curiosity, consistency, and celebration. Collectively, these values promote growth and spark joy. Beyond his professional pursuits, GP is a multifaceted individual—an avid writer, musician, philanthropist, DIY enthusiast, and yes,also a worrier! Living in the New York area, he cherishes quality moments with his wife and their nine-year-old son. Additional family members include pets Charlie Mae, the Golden Retriever, and Maya Grace, the Silver Labrador Retriever.

The family's real experiences are the muse behind GP's "Oh, Maya!" Through these narratives, he presents families with opportunities to connect with their kiddos in insightful and delightful ways.
