Summary Profile

John DeHart is a speaker who is fully engaged in leadership, entrepreneurship and culture every day in his own business. His message is for everyone helping their organization, business and employees to get to a higher level of engagement in the enterprise.

As the Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Nurse Next Door Home Care Services DeHart has built the company into one of Canada's most successful health care brands, with over 50 locations Canada-wide and an expanding international network.

DeHart was awarded the Ernst & Young Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year Award in 2006, named to Business in Vancouver's Top 40 Under 40 list and has led Nurse Next Door to many prestigious business awards. These accolades include being named to BC's top employer list for 3 years in a row, the number one employer in BC in 2009, the top culture in Western Canada as well as a top 10 franchise system in North America.

DeHart has been on platforms around the world speaking on building companies and culture. He lectures at leading universities across North America with regular appearances at Cornell University and M.I.T.

His speaking is based on his own personal entrepreneurial experiences in building and running an international brand. With a roll up your sleeves approach, DeHart helps audiences understand how to build vision into your organization's culture and into your own leadership.

Equal parts inspiration and practical business best practices, DeHart takes the traditionally stodgy, boring topic of vision - core values, core purpose and the envisioned future - and turns it on its head. You won't be getting a corporate, buttoned-down academic speaker but a practical and experienced leader running a dynamic business. DeHart will show you vision with a fresh perspective, leaving you energized, reinvigorated, a little smarter, and definitely inspired to go make change.

DeHart is a graduate of Cornell University, lives in Vancouver with his wife Gayla and two daughters, Aja and Daisy, and runs up mountains for fun.
