Joe Swinger

Joe Swinger was born in Chicago, IL and has been interested in the topic of human potential ever since he was an elementary school student who would stare out his classroom window and wonder what great things waited for him outside those four walls. Joe has since gone on a lifelong search for purpose and authenticity from those humble beginnings. After overcoming a dysfunctional and abusive childhood -- as well as flunking out of college -- Joe landed on the beaches of Los Angeles, CA broke and homeless. It was here that Joe began his search in earnest to discover what motivates some people to succeed while others fail -- and how one finally discovers their true Purpose in life. He began his journey as a screenwriter -- writing several acclaimed screenplays -- and as a leader in retail management. Joe eventually received his BA in Psychology from one of the most prestigious universities in the world, the University of California, Los Angeles. He went on to attain a MA in Psychology from Pepperdine University in Malibu, CA, as well as a MBA degree in Marketing from Westminster College in Salt Lake City, UT.

Joe is currently Director of Wisdom Communications, where he serves as a business speaker & coach, as well as facilitator of his B.O.S.S. (Beans of Success System) workshops. He began his retail leadership career as a self-described "manager from hell" in his early days, continually putting his results ahead of his people. With rising employee turnover and falling morale, he had to find a better way to lead and became a pioneer in the servant-leader movement, crediting it for the amazing turnaround in his career. Joe's story on how he changed as a leader became the acclaimed book "Beans of Wisdom." Joe has now developed hundreds of successful business leaders while achieving extraordinary results for multiple Fortune 500 companies, including Circuit City, Best Buy and Home Depot. He has routinely received accolades for his extraordinary people development, sales & marketing excellence, and impeccable customer service. Joe's secret is believing in and inspiring others to believe that they can accomplish greater things in life than they ever thought possible. He is also the author of "Leave Your Nose Ring at Home" and the leading authority on interviewing from the inside out.
