About me
Welcome! I’m George Evjen, and I’m excited to connect with you. My career journey has taken me from the intensity of the basketball court to the dynamic world of software coaching and leadership development. Each step has been fueled by a passion for building high-performing teams and empowering individuals to achieve their fullest potential.
From Basketball to Software Coaching
My coaching career began on the basketball court, where for over a decade, I had the privilege of guiding student-athletes through both the physical and mental demands of the game. Coaching in a fast-paced environment taught me the power of strategy, teamwork, and relentless perseverance—principles that translate seamlessly into any high-stakes industry.
Evolving Into Leadership and Team Development
Fifteen years ago, I made the pivotal transition to software coaching, driven by a deep interest in technology and a desire to help teams excel in this rapidly evolving field. My focus quickly expanded beyond software processes to encompass leadership development, team dynamics, and creating positive, impactful organizational cultures. Today, I work with a wide range of teams—from innovative startups to established enterprises—helping them navigate the complexities of the software industry while fostering environments where people thrive.
Passion for Empowering Teams
At the core of my work is a commitment to growth—both for myself and for the teams I work with. I’m passionate about creating cultures where trust, ownership, and high performance are the norms. By focusing on leadership, team dynamics, and personal development, I empower organizations to build elite teams capable of tackling any challenge with enthusiasm and excellence.
