…so that people are the engine of your strategy, not the brake on it.

What we’ll shift 1
You already have AI tools. Are your people using them? Is the way they work changing? Is it changing the company?
Changing a company with AI doesn’t rest on tools alone, or on people alone. I know how to connect the two.
Top-down strategy, bottom-up energy.
Who it’s for: Management, transformation teams, HR, IT, division heads, and team leads.
What we’ll shift 2
How do you get people to take part in your initiative, put their energy into it, and still get something out of it themselves?
Who it’s for: Marketing, HR, internal communications, change program owners, nonprofits, and foundations.
Alongside this, I build ecosystems and networks that stay with the organization as a lasting structure: ambassador programs, communities of practice, and communities around products and brands.
I design the solution and the plan for putting it in place. I can also get involved in selecting and preparing the people who will work with it, or implement the solution myself as part of your team.
We work together one-on-one or in a small group on whatever you’re dealing with right now. It can be mentoring, consulting, or a series of sessions where we figure out together how to move forward on your problem, or where I simply teach you how it’s done.
From two hours to several days of interactive work together, in person or online. We take a group of up to 15 people through practical steps toward new initiatives, attitudes, and skills.
Webinars, presentations, and keynotes for larger groups. A talk packed with experience and inspiration that gives your people energy and leaves them with an idea they can’t shake.
When you need someone to lead change from the inside and for the long term, I can join your team, including in a permanent role.
I ground my work in practice and in a synthesis of different approaches, which lets us see around corners together. Clients also value my human, no-BS approach and my ability to gain deep insight into a subject. Still, I always aim to get us to your goal by the most direct route.
Workshop or one-on-one work
You already have AI, but you’re not using it the way you could: your people are missing the what and the how. Working with your team or with you one-on-one, we’ll find what AI can do for you in your actual work and build the first tools right away, even AI agents if you like. In human terms, not technical ones.

One-day workshop for those bringing AI into their company
You have the licenses, but only some of your people use AI regularly. In this workshop for AI adoption leaders, we’ll look at why the others stay on the sidelines and put together a plan to get the whole company working with AI, from leadership down to individual teams.

Workshop for managers of teams that work remotely or in a hybrid setup
In a team whose members don’t see each other every day, a manager can’t keep an eye on everything. I’ll show you how to lead such a team so that people take ownership themselves, stay aligned with each other and with the company’s goals and strategy, and communicate and collaborate effectively even at a distance.

For those responsible for people’s learning, development, and engagement
People learn most from each other and accept change sooner from a colleague than from a slide deck. In the workshop, we’ll work out how your company can build expert networks, peer-learning communities, and an internal ambassador program that helps push through change, development, and innovation.

For marketing and nonprofits
You can buy reach, not a relationship. I’ll show you how to bring people together around your company, product, or mission so that they get involved in your initiatives, start talking about you, and bring others along. I’ll also show you how to tap into communities and networks that already exist.

Inspiring session for teams
Imagination is a key skill of our time. In the session, we’ll look at the world, at work, and at ourselves from a new angle, in a playful and gentle way.
More about the session
I’m a practitioner with a background in both technology and the social sciences, and throughout my career I’ve connected the worlds of people and technology. For the third time now, I’m helping people make full use of a new wave of technology: in the early days of the internet it was online learning, then mobile and cloud tools for developers during 13 years at Google, and now AI for companies and teams.
I helped start Google Developer Groups, a learning network for nearly a million developers, and for six of those 13 years at Google I worked as a Global Program Manager.
As a consultant, facilitator, and guide for management teams, I help organizations with projects that rely on people: introducing AI and other technologies, change within companies, developing people and teams, and bringing people together around a brand. My current main client is Česká spořitelna. For its brand, I launched a community program against fraud; in L&D, I connected people for internal learning; and since October I’ve been working with its marketing teams on AI adoption.
I’ve led people, programs, and projects in person and remotely for 25 years, and I pass this experience on to managers too: I teach them to lead teams in which people take ownership themselves, even when they don’t see each other every day.
I’m among the first to try new technologies, and I build my own agentic AI system and tools. In my free time I do drone photography: my photographs have won international awards and been published in National Geographic.
“What separates good trainers from great ones is practice. Dan lives what he teaches. His workshops are incredibly engaging case studies of his own way of working.”Ondrej Zaoral, Inoxive
“Thanks to his experience, Dan helped us see a state of permanent change through the lens of opportunity, rather than as something to merely survive and wait out.”Denisa Petrusková, Generali Česká pojišťovna
“The talk on Collaboration got very positive feedback overall. Colleagues especially highlighted the speaker’s many years of experience and the chance to see how collaboration works in other organizations.”Jana Konečná, KBC
“From the consultations on implementing and fine-tuning OKRs, I took away plenty of tips and things to think about. And above all, it sparked new thoughts and ideas!”Jiří Langr, Heureka.cz
“He has deep insights in social behavior, motivation and a solid tech background. He applies all that in a way that infects people with passion.”Fady al Kheir, Energon Holding
In recent years, I’ve had the honor of working with more than 20 organizations, either directly or through partner agencies.
I mentor startups in two accelerator programs.
