What Others Are Saying

Thank you Spencer for allowing me to see the potential in myself. Your coaching provided a base of accountability and established trust which I continue to hold myself to. Working with you has given me the tools and processes to be focused and to improve my leadership behaviors. It has also helped me to enhance my relationships at work and to influence positive behaviors within my team. My team has noticed some of the changes and we continue to grow and improve. I have taken my leadership style to the next level and enthusiastically recommend you as a business and team coach!

– Jill Archunde Santell, General Manager, The Signature at MGM

Spencer we can’t thank you enough for the way your training turned things around for our team. Due to the complicated nature of our team’s dysfunction I was skeptical that a one and a half day retreat could have any impact at all. I’m thrilled to say you proved me wrong. The depths that we were able to reach in just 2 sessions surpassed anything I had hoped to achieve. Thanks to your expert facilitation, our team worked through complicated interpersonal concerns in a direct, yet safe space. We shaped goals for the future, defined accountability parameters and adopted a team purpose that is meaningful to guide us as we move forward.

Since our return to the office from our executive retreat the team has been visibly more cohesive and connected. Morale has increased exponentially and I’m certain there will be a boost in productivity as a result of the increased positivity. You’ve made an impact that started at the top and has already begun to impact our middle management and line staff. The ripple effect of the work you did with our leaders will make this a better and more effective company on every level. Thanks you so much!

If you are looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic speaker for your event, then you have come to the right place!  Through his Power of Responsibility presentation, Spencer uses his personal techniques and audience participation to quickly connect with and captivate his audience, and then provides very powerful and relevant information to enable them take ownership of their personal actions and goals.  Spencer led us through powerful self-introspection to help everyone come away with personal insights and action plans on how to take ownership of their own personal lives and outcomes.  Spencer was great to work with throughout the engagement and event, and I would highly recommend him for yours!

I have had the personal privilege to work and collaborate with Spencer for over seven years. I brought him to the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) to serve women and businesses, which he executed passionately and effectively.

Spencer has the necessary leadership and mentoring skills to support success in personal and professional growth. He was such an asset to everything he touched, I then brought him to my company, TPC in 2010. He now has share clients of TPC HR Payroll Consultants and community outreach to help support them in achieving their goals personally and professionally.

I have known Spencer Horn for more than a decade. I was on a non-profit board of directors that hired Spencer to be the Executive Director of our organization. We were both passionate about expanding the quality of treatment and support options for children with cancer and blood diseases. I went onto found the Children’s Specialty Center and Cure 4 The Kids Foundation and Spencer worked with a leadership development company of which he became the CEO.

Over the past five years, Spencer has provided leadership and communication training to our organization. Together with his business associate, he helped improve communication, hiring practices, reduce turnover, strengthen trust and team work. We have improved our self-awareness and culture since partnering with Spencer and his team.

The results have allowed my organization and me to operate more effectively. We have improved the leadership capacity of our top managers and are working on the next tier of managers. I have been able to step back from the day-to-day challenges of the business. Spencer and his team have helped me focus on more strategic issues. This has allowed me to take our organization to higher standards of service and improved treatment therapies.

I highly recommend Spencer and his organization. You will improve your results through expanding leadership capabilities and strengthening your culture.

Please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

-Annette Logan
President & CEO, Cure 4 The Kids Foundation

Being in sales for over 20 years, I’ve done several training classes, but nothing reached out to me as much as spending the time working with Spencer. I’ve always felt that my personality wasn’t quite the typical salesperson’s, but have since learned to use my strengths and focus on adapting my weaker traits to improve my overall results. Self awareness has generated improved sales and a promotion! I would highly recommend Spencer to anyone looking to become more aware of their ability and how to use that awareness to their best advantage. Spencer is fantastic!!!!

“My favorite speaker was Spencer Horn.  He gave two presentations.  I would have gone to both, but decided to diversify the classes I attended in order to attempt to manage my “Talent Triangle.”  I attended the session on Branding Yourself, which was probably my biggest motivation to start my blog back up, again. If you ever have the chance to work with Spencer, or attend one of his presentations, I highly recommend it.

“I run a small office with a few staff members. Generally speaking, our office ran smoothly, but there were times that tensions were high. I invited Spencer to come to my office to coach us on eliminating these problems. Spencer addressed these items in an open forum and provided helpful tips to me any my staff. Thanks Spencer.”

-Scott Gardner

“Spencer Horn, just delivered his presentation on “The X-Factor to Becoming a Successful Leader: Improve Your Emotional Intelligence, Increase Your Bottom Line!” to my Vistage Group.  Spencer explains through his presentation that Emotional Intelligence is the X Factor for success and that emotionally intelligent leaders are more effective at achieving results.  He communicates the message in a dynamic and enthusiastic fashion capturing everyone’s attention and connecting with the audience.  He is an excellent speaker and I highly recommend you consider him when booking speakers in 2016.”

-Virginia Knudsen

“Spencer is a highly motivated, result driven individual that has a passion for improving the lives of those around him. His excitement for life is contagious. He is a family man first, and a friend to all. He is a man of integrity, honesty, high values, and keeps his priorities straight. It is an honor and pleasure to have him as a friend.”

-Zann Horlacher
President & Co-Founder at Veo Natural

“I have worked with Spencer many capacities and have without exception found that he is one of the most talented, positive, knowledgable professional motivators that I have met in my lifetime. He can make a difficult experience productive, bring large groups of different personalities together and perform oustanding tasks with development of leadership characteristics. His timing is superb and can always be counted on even when his time is in high demand with his busy schedule. These characteristics apply to all aspects of his daily efforts.”

-Scott W. Taylor
Shareholder/Owner at Piercy Bowler Taylor & Kern, CPA’s

“Spencer Horn was beyond phenomenal! He gave us an enlightening and enthusiastic seminar on “The X Factor to Becoming a Successful Leader.” He spoke in a way that silenced the room because we were all locked and loaded on every word. Spencer spoke from the heart and didn’t tell us about Emotional Intelligence – he showed us. Effective Leadership is mostly about Emotional Intelligence. Both IQ and Technical Skills just count for 9% of an effective leader. EI is the rest.

Spencer customized the seminar for the hospitality industry since he was speaking to NHLA (Nevada Hotel and Lodging Association). He knew our industry and helped us with current challenges we face every day. The biggest take-away for me was the reminder that when something happens, we have a choice how we respond. 10 percent is what happens and 90 percent is how we respond. Thank you Spencer for time well spent.”

-Ronna Tampa 
Workplace ESL Solutions Founder and Chief Motivator

“Spencer, Thank you for an awesome presentation. I believe the classes really impacted me in a way where it helps me to refine my communication skills, which will make me better in my work, relationships, and overall as a person. Taking responsibility for my own successes and failures, again, will improve me as a whole person. I have a couple mentors in my life that I look up to and learn from; with understanding how to handle the cause and effect in different situations, I’m able to pass on my experiences to someone else as a mentor myself. The presentations you provided gives me a track to run on and goals to work towards. I couldn’t be more appreciative of your time.”

His expertise, professionalism and commitment to us as a client needing execution ideas, training and guidance was exemplary. The personal one on one time Spencer committed to myself and the deployment team was instrumental in helping us achieve targeted results. His effort in going the extra mile to provide critical and relevant business metrics for the program was key in our decision making process.

I would highly recommend Spencer and his work to any prospective clients or employers.”

-Eric Lederfine
Starbucks District Manager

“I would like to share a brief letter of gratitude to Mr. Spencer Horn for the inspirational keynote speech that he presented to our management team a few weeks ago. The setting was absolutely perfect! We overlooked the ocean at the Fairmont in Mayakoba, Mexico, while enjoying the ocean air in an open room setting. I challenged Spencer to speak on team building with an emphasis on personal responsibility. I was certain that Spencer would be a dynamic speaker, and certainly took the challenge head-on!

Spencer did a great job of giving our group insight on the challenge of “taking ownership”. Everyone in the room recognized how often we blame situations or other people instead of taking personal responsibility when times get tough.

I cannot express my gratitude enough for Spencer taking the time to spend with our leadership team. He did a phenomenal job in representing his organization, as well as confirmed my expectation that he is a dynamic speaker with tremendous leadership concepts to share!”

-Sherman Miller
COO, Cal-Maine Foods, Inc.

“What everyone else has already commented here is no exaggeration. Sarah and I can count on less than one hand a few people whose examples, mentoring and coaching in business have provided a valuable, lasting positive influence and prepared us to enjoy the success that we currently experience. One specific asset that he brings that we observed perhaps over all others is an absolute “success mindset”. His ability to give focus, energy and attention to his vision of the achievement of a goal to the exclusion of the possibility of any other result delivers the results he expects. That modeling has been tremendously important to us.”

-Brian Gwyn
Sales Professional & Entrepreneur

“Spencer explains through his presentation that Emotional Intelligence is the X Factor for success. And that emotionally intelligent leaders are effective and promote business results. The best part of his presentation?… Emotional intelligence can be learned!! He communicates the message exceptionally well, in a dynamic and enthusiastic fashion. He captures everyone’s attention and connects with the audience from beginning to end. Spencer is undoubtedly an excellent speaker!”
