Leif Hansen’s Summary
Hello, I'm Leif Hansen, managing director of Spark Social Media and Spark Northwest. I look forward to getting a chance to know you and hear your story.
My personal passion is helping individuals and organizations:
*Identify & Express Their Core Story
*Trust & Expand Their Creative Potential
*Enrich & Extend Their Internal and External Relationships
While I believe technology has great potential to achieve these aims, I know from personal experience that it has an incredible power to distract and dehumanize as well. Spark's 'Soul Tech' workshops, recently featured on the Today Show, grew out of a desire to help myself and others become more productive and balanced in our relationship to technology. Soul Tech workshops also tuned out to be a mash-up of my two businesses:
1. Spark Social Media is a collaboration of social media professionals and enthusiasts I work with who are dedicated to helping our clients discover, understand and implement the most innovative and dynamic new social media available for their businesses, organizations or other projects.
Our Core Services Include:
-Social Media Consulting & Training
-Online Community Development
-Online Media Development (podcasts, video, live audio and video shows)
2. Spark Northwest is a partnership of experienced business executives, facilitators, coaches, improv artists and playful innovators. We are dedicated to helping our clients (individuals and teams) to have more fun in life and work; to become more authentic and focused; to grow in innovative creativity; and to deepen in their trust, respect and constructive communication with team members.
Our Core Services Include:
-Collaborative Creativity/Innovation/Ideation
-Leadership Development
-Team Ignition
-Breakthrough Coaching
