For more than a decade, John Kennedy has inspired well over 30,000 audience members throughout North America, Europe, Australia and the Caribbean. John’s success was galvanized in the hospitality & tourism industry as a restaurant & hotel executive with a strong sense of teamwork, sales and leadership. He learned from the best and now speaks to many who want to be their best. “Bringing out the best in others is the most rewarding aspect of my life, right behind being a dad.” John’s topics include: “Creating World-Class Teams,” “Total Leadership Development” (from his book "Management That Cooks!"), “Non-Stop Customer Awareness” (from his book "Fantastic Customer Service…Inside and Out!"), and “Building The Optimal Workplace Culture” — a highly sought after consulting program. John’s success list includes: Marriott Hotels, General Electric, Orvis, Elizabeth Arden, Taco Bell, Indiana University, American Cancer Society and over 30 associations — along with dozens of local, state and federal government agencies. John is often invited back after his first engagement, due to the invaluable insight and immediate impact he brings. John’s greatest offering to his clients is his total immersion into their culture, issues and interests. He then creates a program targeted directly to the audience. John’s presentations focus on customer service, sales, leadership development and teamwork. He is currently the chief cultural officer of a mid-Atlantic company, qualifying him as much more than just a speaker who speaks — he’s a speaker who achieves.
