In this episode of the Lessons in Leadership podcast, I had the privilege of sitting down with Jim Hardwick, a man whose journey from corporate America to servant leadership is nothing short of inspiring.

Growing up in Speedway, Indiana, he had little chance to travel during his childhood. So, when the opportunity arose to join Up With People and spend time with 125 other kids from 25 different countries, he seized the chance to expand his horizons. That trip made such an impact on his life, and set the trajectory for success. What followed was 36 years in corporate America, helping sales teams and leaders generate consistent revenue. And while this has always been fulfilling, Jim knew there had to be more. That’s when a fateful trip to Kenya revealed his true calling. He went at the encouragement of a friend, and in a single moment, discovered a need that would pivot his life in ways he could not have imagined. While on safari, Jim visited a medical clinic for the Masai people, and learned that they didn’t have access to critical dental care. Since his wife, Jody, is a dental hygienist, he knew instantly how to solve that problem. Ten months later, he had founded the Hardwick Foundation, and they led their first dental team to Kenya. In this inaugural trip, 191 people were treated and 258 procedures were performed in a tent, at no charge to the patients. The impact was instant and significant, and that’s the moment he knew his mission was much larger than himself. Today, Jim helps servant leaders go beyond their borders through a program he created called Magnificent Significance. He serves small to midsize business owners who want to live intentional lives and achieve superabundance through service. His experience includes over 25 years in executive leadership, helping his clients generate profitable revenue while taking a deeper look into what really matters by igniting a business culture of engagement and collaboration. Jim has traveled to 42 countries and experienced many different cultures. He is also a keynote speaker who shares his unique servant leadership journey from sales to nonprofits to safaris. He and Jody are proud to be the 2022 recipients of the James E. MacLennan Everyday Hero award through Up With People. His core mission is to encourage his clients to embrace their servant’s heart to elevate their business.
