When John Spence was sixteen, his father, a famous attorney, came home and told his second youngest child, "You’re a complete disappoint as a son. I wish you’d never been born. Get out of my house." Mind you, at that moment, John was a straight-A student, captain of the football team and homecoming king. By 26, John Spence was the CEO of an international Rockefeller foundation, overseeing projects in 20 countries. Two years later, Inc. Magazine named him one of America’s Up and Coming Young Business Leaders. Since, he’s been recognized as one of the Top 100 Business Thought Leaders in America and one of the Top 100 Small Business Influencers in America. John gave a TED talk on leadership and, after multiple stints running companies, now consults and coaches organizations worldwide, from startups to the Fortune 10 companies. John is dedicated to helping people and businesses be more successful by making the very complex "Awesomely Simple,” which happens to be the title of his book, Awesomely Simple: Essential Business Strategies for Turning Ideas Into Action. His fundamental drive for success came when his father cut him off and kicked him out, a wound that may never heal. But John shares how that pain made him who he is and helps him soar as an author, teacher and leader. Welcome to Swan Dive.

"As goes the leadership team, so goes the entire company," says leadership development expert, John Spence. Far too many leaders are in the business of delegating work to employees. However the truth is that great leaders serve their employees, and if done right, then employees will serve customers. According to John Spence, "a customer's experience will never exceed the employers' experience. If leaders take care of their employees, they will in turn take care of their customers."In this episode, we meet John Spence, who is a business advisor, workshop leader, keynote speaker and executive coach to firms worldwide. John has delivered thousands of speeches in the past 28+ years to groups as large as 22,000.
