George Couros: Using Financial Fluency to Master Money

George Couros is an Innovative Teaching, Learning, and Leadership Consultant, speaker, and author of The Innovator's Mindset and Innovate Inside the Box. As co-owner of IMPress Books and an Adjunct Instructor at the University of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Education, he draws on his experience across all levels of K–12 education to help educators create innovative, collaborative, and student-centered learning environments.

A father of three—Kallea, Georgia, and Marino—George is passionate about helping every learner find a meaningful path to success. He believes education should not only prepare students for the real world but inspire them to make it better through curiosity, collaboration, and creativity.

Guided by the belief that meaningful change begins by connecting to people's hearts before their minds, George empowers educators to lead with empathy, innovation, and purpose in all they do.
