“It’s all about the opportunity to inspire people.” – Johan Koornhof
On the surface, Johan has much in common with the executives, business owners, and leaders he serves. He’s smart, successful, & entirely self-made. He owns his own company and serves as an ambassador to several organizations.
But what sets him apart is that none of those things capture the most interesting parts of his journey, one that started in South Africa, spread to Scotland and the United States, and nearly ended tragically twice, once on the side of a mountain and later in an ICU battling COVID-19.
He is no stranger to the lows of life, yet in them, he gained life-giving perspectives on purpose, intentional leadership, and personal character that have transformed his own life and the lives of countless others he chooses to serve selflessly.
Much to our benefit, he shares them openly in all he does, including this podcast.
What a gift.

C.S. Lewis said, “Hardship often prepares an ordinary person for extraordinary destiny.”
He was right. Johan is living proof.
