Dr. John Hardman
John came to FAU as an international student from Argentina to pursue the PhD in Educational Leadership in 2004 after twenty years of teaching and leading international schools in South America. After graduating from the program, he began teaching master’s and doctoral level courses in the school leadership and adult and community education programs, which continues to this day. He is the Coordinator of the IDEAL (Inclusive Development of Educational Administrators and Leaders) Master’s Degree for School Leaders. He is also the department liaison to the FAU Center for Online and Continuous Education (COCE).
Along with serving on both NCATE and CAEP accreditation committees for the College of Education since 2005, John chaired the College of Education Standing Diversity Committee from 2010 – 2019, and served on the University’s Diversity Platform Council since its creation in 2016 until 2019.
John is the founder of Regenerative Organizations, a process consulting firm that specializes in regenerative leadership coaching and training, and facilitating the shift of organizations toward sustainability and regenerative practice in business, community, and education. This work is based on his doctoral and post-doctoral research conducted with highly effective leaders in organizations that are creating new organizational paradigms in business, social entrepreneurship, government, industry, and education.
He is also a member of the faculty of the Centre for Execution Education of the University for Peace (UPEACE), the university established in Costa Rica by the United Nations General Assembly, where he teaches Regenerative Leadership for Sustainable Development (two online sessions per year). He serves as a methodologist on dissertation committees of the online doctoral program at Grand Canyon University, Phoenix, AZ.
Born and raised in Argentina, John is bilingual in English and Spanish, and possesses Argentine, British, and U.S. citizenship. He relocated to South Deerfield, MA, in April 2019, but continues to work on a full-time telecommuting agreement with the Department of Educational Leadership and Research Methodology at Florida Atlantic University.
