About George Dupont

From the Ice to the Boardroom

Building Leaders, Teams, and Cultures That Win

I’ve spent my life studying what makes champions — not just in sports, but in leadership, business, and life. From captaining championship hockey teams to leading corporate turnarounds, one truth has always stood out:

Talent sets the floor. Leadership and culture set the ceiling

Today, I help leaders, teams, and organizations bridge the gap between potential and performance — by building aligned leadership, resilient mindsets, and championship cultures.

My leadership journey began on the ice.
As a player, I was proud to captain championship teams at the Junior, University, and Professional levels, earning Team MVP and Leading Scorer honors at each stage.

In my final university season, I led my team to a National Championship, was named Finals 
MVP, and received the Hockey News/Bauer Canadian University Player of the Year award 
— recognition I’ve always viewed as a reflection of our team’s unity and belief, not just 
individual performance.

After transitioning from player to coach, I carried those lessons forward. As a professional coach, I guided my team to a WPHL Governor’s Cup Championship, proving again that when culture, clarity, and commitment align — extraordinary results follow. Those experiences shaped the foundation of my leadership philosophy:

Great teams aren’t built on talent alone — they’re built on trust, standards, and shared purpose.

From the Locker Room To The Boardroom

The same lessons that build championship teams also build elite organizations. In business, I discovered that leadership and culture are the ultimate competitive advantages — the “locker room” of the corporate world.

Through George Dupont Leadership, I now work with executives, teams, and organizations to create systems of alignment, accountability, and performance that drive
measurable results.

Whether I’m working with a sports franchise, corporate leadership team, or executive board, my focus is the same:

To build champions — in mindset, leadership, and culture.

My Philosophy

I believe leadership is a skill, culture is a system, and performance is a result. At the heart of every championship team — whether in sports or business — are three essentials

Clarity of Purpose

Everyone knows why they exist and where they’re going.

Alignment of Leadership

Leaders model the standards they expect.

Commitment to Growth

Teams embrace feedback, learning, and continuous improvement

My work is anchored in the DynastyDNA™ Leadership Operating System and the 12 Non- Negotiables of Championship Leadership — frameworks that help leaders and teams align values, mindset, and execution to create sustainable success.
