Leif Hansen is a nationally recognized facilitator, speaker, and AI fluency guide — and one of the most energizing forces you can put in front of a team.
For over two decades, Leif has been doing one thing exceptionally well: helping people connect with themselves, with each other, and with the work that matters. He's the founder of Spark Interaction and The Future Lab — two expressions of the same core belief that how we show up together determines everything.
His work sits at the rare intersection of deep human wisdom and cutting-edge technology. Long before "AI fluency" was a corporate priority, Leif was studying how teams adopt change, how creativity gets blocked and unblocked, and what it actually takes to build cultures where people thrive instead of just survive.
He's spoken at HubSpot INBOUND, Human+Tech Week, and dozens of corporate conferences. He has worked with organizations ranging from Fortune 500 companies to regional nonprofits, always bringing the same thing: radical presence, structured play, and the kind of contagious energy that outlasts the event itself.
Leif holds an MA in Spiritual Theology and a BA in Communication, and is a certified practitioner in Applied Improvisation, Positive Psychology, and Transformational Coaching. He completed IFTF Strategic Foresight Training — giving him a rigorous, futures-thinking lens for the AI and technology work he now leads.
His work has been featured on NBC's Today Show, PBS, the Los Angeles Times, The Seattle Times, and KOMO 4 News.
