"Dan Sodergren brought a refreshing perspective to our Amcham Lab Global masterclass on the future of work. Across 90+ leaders from innovation, strategy, and culture teams, the response was exceptional—4.9/5 average rating. What set Dan apart: He didn't lead with AI capabilities or deployment speed. Instead, he started with a fundamental question about human meaning and purpose—then showed how emotional intelligence and leadership discipline are prerequisites for successful AI integration, not afterthoughts. His Wizard of Oz analogy perfectly captured the tension between 'tech solutions' and 'human problems,' and his message resonated across roles and cultures: AI amplifies the leadership culture you already have. Before deploying tools, audit your foundation. For organizations serious about leading through this transition, Dan provides both the strategic framework and the diagnostic rigor to get it right. He's a rare combination of visionary thinking and practical business acumen." - Carlos, Innovation Lab Leader, Amcham Lab Global
"Dan delivered an excellent session on the Fifth Industrial Revolution for our IHG Emerging Leaders, achieving 94% satisfaction from an international audience of senior hotel operators. He adapted seamlessly his content around AI and the Future of work for our attendees and delivered strategic value that resonated strongly. Professional, flexible, and highly knowledgeable." - Carly, Senior Director Operations & Engagement, EMEAA, IHG Owners Association
“"We invited Dan to speak to 60 SME owners and directors at our Christmas business growth event. He surveyed the room beforehand and tailored his talk to exactly where our members were with AI. The feedback was outstanding: 92% rated him 4 or 5 stars, and several members have already asked about AI training. If you're looking for someone to cut through the AI noise and give your audience practical, honest guidance, I'd highly recommend him." - David, CEO, Henley Coaching Partnership
