Leif is a very inspirational speaker... he cares very much about his students and making sure that everyone gets the most quality information they possibly can, out of each minute!

Leif Hansen is the most pleasant surprise I've experienced in a long time. I attended one of his WOW workshops, how to put more wow into presentations and it was so much more than what the workshop details promised. Leif is very Present, Caring, Knowledgeable, entertaining, and loving. He's not afraid to stretch into whatever is needed to serve his clients. I have a new mentor! Thanks Leif for being REAL.

Leif and George Huang hosted an AMAZING event in October. I wasn't sure what to expect but I was so happy to participate in creative activities, get some useful information, and made connections. Lead-Generation Using Playformation: Busting Through Your Blocks to Attract More and Better Clients.
They offered more than sit/listen and got us out of our boxes! Thank you.

Leif knows how to trigger the creative spirit and whimsical soul of an audience, collectively and individually. He is a master at infusing fun into "games" that inspire and teach. "Playformation" is a must-attend event whenever it is offered. For that matter, any of his events are a treasure in which to participate. Thanks, Leif, for demonstrating how true passion can spark business success.

From Linda WilliamsGiven on Thu Sep 3, 2009.
Leif is a graceful & energizing facilitator! He's terrifically open to the group's collaborative creating - that means that he started the virtual "ego bonfire" we had with his own. :-)

From Frank DePalmaGiven on Thu Sep 3, 2009.
I really loved the workshop. It was a great way for me to identify my business 'blocks' and look at my business flow from a fresh perspective.
-
From Ramona LynneGiven on Thu Sep 3, 2009.
The Playformation presented by Leif was outstanding to helping me realize my business blocks and receive good action steps from members. It also helped me get to know other members faster. I loved it.

From Kate PhillipsGiven on Thu Sep 3, 2009.
Leif is a master facilitator, and probably the most "playful" person I know! He's smart and fun and has a real talent for getting others to "play" their way through problems, arriving sometimes at surprising solutions that could not have otherwise been discovered. I have known Leif for years and I recommend him and his work highly!
-
From Gloria LamsonGiven on Thu Aug 20, 2009.
How great it was to get new ideas and vision for business concerns and issues and to move through them with simple, fun, interactive exercises that left me knowing people in my community better....and wanting to do more of this kind of 'Plurk' (play/work). Leif was a great facilitator. Many thanks!

From Belina RaffyGiven on Sun Jul 5, 2009.
Leif has created a fantastic NING site for my organisation and we are thrilled to have his ongoing support this year. Each addition he makes really adds value. Thank you Leif!
-
From Laura PavlouGiven on Mon Apr 20, 2009.
I would like to compliment Leif on the fabulous workshop today for our group Engage!
Leif is an innovative leader who focuses on helping others achieve greatness! His creative nature really shines in the thoughtful exercises he has developed in order to allow the group to feel comfortable in no time. It really works!
Although we only had an hour and a half to get to know the group and experience something meaningful together it seemed like that after a few minutes I felt like I knew the group on a personal level.
Leif is a gifted facilitator and I feel honored to get the opportunity to work with him!

Leif Hansen and his Improv Troupe were a fantastic add to our Puget Sound Coaches Association meeting. He brought forth the inner value of playfulness and exploration with others to the membership. People were able to stretch their comfort zones and get out of their 'normal' way of showing up to just play and laugh and engage the creative side of their whole self. Thanks you Leif for your ability to create a spark in others as they explore the lighter side of their life.

From Karrie KohlhaasGiven on Sat Nov 22, 2008.
Loving what you are doing as the social catalyst for biznik. I was already impressed with your ultra-authentic ability to connect and talk with anyone and now I am seeing how you are able to take those rare skills and impact a community and add layers of relevance and interest to a business like biznik. Thanks for your huge contribution and commitment to this community, Leif. It's always fun and surprising to see what you come up with!
-
From Genevieve VaydaGiven on Thu Nov 20, 2008.
Leif's friendly intelligence augments his helpful insight as to how to get a group of strangers, and the 'stranger's' psyche, into new, useful, and sometimes wonderful spaces. I could beat my head against a wall for a year, or 'play' through ONE of these exercises - you can guess which is more fun and productive! Bust your Blocks with Leif sometime soon!
-
From Richard BaumGiven on Wed Nov 19, 2008.
Playformation was such an incredible value. Proof positive that these Biznik events should have fees. It is so important to have creative, collaborative safe settings to explore ideas and receive feedback from others. Even one of the ideas I came away with will have huge impact on my business. Thank you. Richard

From Banu SekendurGiven on Wed Nov 19, 2008.
I attended Leif's playformation event last night and it was awesome! I went there feeling a little down and doubtful and came out with lots of hope and enthusiasm. Playformation definitely combines fun with growth and that's the way I like it! :)
Leif, I want to be on your mailing list for future events. You're truly gifted!
-
From Conrad VernonGiven on Wed Nov 19, 2008.
Leif,
Your playformation event rocked! You have a gift for creative thought and organizing those thoughts into real business application.

From Page Temple, CPCCGiven on Fri Nov 14, 2008.
Thank you, Leif, for such a clear, simple and dynamic presentation at the PSCA Tuesday night. I came to the meeting specifically to learn more about social media marketing, biznik in particular. Your energy and audience awareness kept me attentive, and prevented the .PPT yawns. I certainly look forward to learning more as I use the tools you featured.
-
From Sue OliverGiven on Thu Nov 13, 2008.
Leif, I loudly echo my fellow PSCA colleagues in saying you were the highlight of my week with your presentation. I'm on fire for Biznik now, especially given the multi-media vision you presented us. My friends are already sick of listening to me. WOW. Thank you.
-
From Michael KingGiven on Thu Nov 13, 2008.
Leif, Just listened to the Podcast with Tim Ferriss. Awesome job, nice questions too!
-
From Richard BaumGiven on Thu Nov 13, 2008.
Leif, your knowledge and skills are exceeded only by your generosity and willingness to help others. I look forward to interviewing you on my radio show, which would not be possible without your gentle tutelage. Thanks for helping an old dog learn new tricks.
-
From Sandra JonesGiven on Thu Nov 13, 2008.
Leif,
You did a terrific job introducing the Puget Sound Coaches Association members and guests to Social Media and Biznik last night! Thank you! Your improv touches made our learning fun and interactive and heightened the value of the content you delivered.

Great Energy tonight! You came across as informed and engaged. I'm looking forward to more conversations with you.
-
From Regis ChapmanGiven on Wed Nov 12, 2008.
That was a great talk introducing the principles of social media to the Puget Sound Coaching Association. I liked the integration of your improv style into the talks as they kept people interested and upbeat.
Thanks, Regis Chapman

From Janice WilliamsGiven on Wed Nov 12, 2008.
Leif,
Thank you for helping me to understand the "social" aspect of social media at the PSCA meeting. Now I see that social media is more than a technical application. It is truly another way to create and sustain personal and group relationships.
-
From Laura MEEHANGiven on Tue Nov 4, 2008.
Leif, you are a wealth of information and easy to talk to. You are very knowledgeable and honest and open. I enjoy hearing what you have to say. Thank you for keeping me informed .
-
From Beth BuelowGiven on Tue Nov 4, 2008.
Leif, thanks for sharing your vast knowledge with us at the Coaches Cooperative today. You provided great information for us to process and put to use. Your enthusiasm was contagious! Thanks for all you do for Biznik, and for helping to slash a clearer path through the technology jungle.
-
From Jennifer MalochaGiven on Mon Nov 3, 2008.
Leif - I can't thank you enough for sharing just a glimpse of your knowledge with us today at the Coaches co-operative. It was very EXCITING! Jennifer Malocha

From Frith BarbatGiven on Thu Oct 30, 2008.
I listened to your interview of Van Jones' today and came away completely inspired. It was fantastic - an unexpected and very valuable experience. Thanks Leif.
-
From Nancy HanauerGiven on Wed Sep 24, 2008.
Leif is one Biznik everyone should know. I’ve attended two of Leif’s workshops, one at BizJam and one he hosted on his own. Both workshops were a lot of fun and were very helpful. Leif is the consummate professional, he’s someone who strives to help his fellow indies succeed, he’s highly creative and is a very kind-hearted guy, too! If you haven’t met him yet, be sure to introduce yourself to him when you get a chance.

From Jessie Upp, M.S.Given on Thu May 8, 2008.
The tech tools you introduced to me, Leif, were out of this world!!
Thank you for inspiring us through technology.

From Brianna YoungGiven on Thu Jan 31, 2008.
Thank you, Leif, for your superior advice and direction for my new podcast. Your practical guidance on how to build my podcast into something profitable for my business is priceless.

From Jennie RichauGiven on Thu Oct 4, 2007.
'Something Completely Different' was just that....completely different. An awesome way to spend the evening and a great way to break regular ways of thinking and behaving. Leif, thank you for letting me be a part of playformation.
-
From Michael MaddoxGiven on Thu Sep 27, 2007.
Thanks so much for this much needed break from reality. Your seminar was very powerful and I took away some things that will inspire and contribute to my future successes. I especially liked the Goal exercise as well as the "Gift".
-
From Jonathan BailorGiven on Thu Sep 27, 2007.
Leif - Your last event was wonderful. I have to say that the "I Like" exercise was the single best exercise of its kind I have ever done. Great work!
-
From Jennifer MobleyGiven on Thu Sep 27, 2007.
I'm not going to pretend to be enlightened...I'm still not exactly sure what the outcome of "Something Completely Different" was supposed to be. What I do know is that Leif's group facilitation style and his energy are unlike any other. I would highly recommend checking out one of his workshops, especially if you want help smiling, laughing and thinking outside of yourself. I'm sure I'll do another one in the future, since I DO want to figure out the secret of it all. :)

From Chris RadantGiven on Wed Sep 26, 2007.
Leif's Playformation evening was a wonderful relief from the discipline and irritation of regular life. A great reminder that this point of view is always available and applicable during times of stress. I can see how he chose the name SPARK for his web site.
Leif is a party all by himself. Proof that a person can be serious, thoughtful, highly intelligent and a goofball at the same time. (Respect!)

From Tami SmithGiven on Mon Aug 27, 2007.
Leif your podcast workshop was informative, met all levels of the attendees, and kept everyone engaged. I would attend any workshop you facilitate. You know your stuff and communicate in an easy, cool way!
Let me know when you do the follow up podcast.
Thanks. Tami

From Kandi KostenukGiven on Fri Aug 24, 2007.This was a fantastic workshop, I went in not knowing anything and came out ready to excited to play and get going!!! Leif you are a great facilitator and look forward to your other events! Thanks so much!
-
From Chris RadantGiven on Fri Aug 24, 2007.
I really loved your podcast event tonight. It was inspiring and I hope there's a chance to learn more after I explore all the avenues, equipment, feeds, sites and other resources you gave us.
You're a great host/teacher/fella. I bet your main business rocks too. I'll look into it with great interest.

From Timothy OaksGiven on Fri Jul 13, 2007.
"What kind of alchemy is this? Leif takes 12 strangers and in 5 minutes has us laughing and excited - even though probably half were a bit nervous, first-timers (me, for one). With great play-structures, and a positive, super-funny manner, Leif put us at ease and unleashed creativity we didn't even know we had."
-
From Kimberly OaksGiven on Fri Jul 13, 2007.
"Even after attending and participating in many improv events I found Leif's workshop to be as fun as ever. He enthusiastically encouraged us to go beyond our preconceived limits of our creativity without judgment or pressure. I loved it!"
