George J. Thompson

George J. Thompson, known as "Doc Rhino," founded the Verbal Judo Institute and trained over 700,000 individuals in Tactical Communications.

He held degrees from Colgate University, University of Connecticut, and completed post-doctoral work at Princeton.

Thompson developed his program in 1983 to defuse conflict and redirect behavior using words.

He authored four books on Tactical Communications and was featured in various national media outlets.

Thompson's background as both an academic and law enforcement officer uniquely positioned him to develop and teach communication strategies for high-pressure situations.

He passed away in 2011, leaving a legacy in conflict resolution and communication training.
