DENVER, COLORADO – July 7, 2026 –<\/strong> George Stern, a leadership keynote speaker whose career runs through Harvard Law, the Obama White House Counsel’s Office, McKinsey, elected public office, and the firehouse, is available for keynote bookings across the United States for the 2026–2027 conference season, represented by Clash Creation. His speaker page, professionally produced showreel, and one-sheet are live and available on request.<\/p>\n

Stern brings a record most speakers can only reference. He is a Harvard Law School graduate (magna cum laude), an alumnus of the Obama White House Counsel’s Office and of McKinsey, and the former elected Jefferson County, Colorado Clerk and Recorder, where he ran the county’s elections and motor vehicle operations for a population of roughly 600,000 and oversaw the 2020 presidential election under sustained threats. That work was profiled on CBS’s 60 Minutes and recognized with the U.S. Election Assistance Commission’s 2020 Clearinghouse (“Clearie”) Award. He is the CEO of G&P LLC, a holding company through which he acquires and operates U.S. businesses, and an active volunteer firefighter with the Aspen Fire Protection District.<\/p>\n

Over the past two years, Stern has built one of the fastest-growing leadership audiences in the country: more than 395,000 LinkedIn followers and 290,000 Instagram followers, with more than one million impressions each week on both platforms, a 13,700-subscriber leadership newsletter, and a following that has passed 125,000 on TikTok alongside a substantial presence on Facebook and X. Individual posts regularly reach several hundred thousand views.<\/p>\n

His keynotes translate lessons from firefighting, public service, McKinsey, entrepreneurship, and election administration into practical tools for teams under pressure. “Businesses, like firehouses, don’t have time for fake leadership,” Stern says. Firehouse crews prepare before the emergency, communicate plainly, trust the people closest to the problem, act without wasting time on blame, and debrief once the call is over. Modern teams, he argues, have far more time and budget and can do the same.<\/p>\n
