What Clients Say

Eric Silfen, MD
Senior Vice-President and Chief Medical Officer, Philips Healthcare

Soren’s engaging keynote jump started our event and got the entire audience thinking about how we can transform the healthcare landscape. He tailored his message to our company, worked collaboratively, and delivered both strategic insights and practical ideas that we can use moving forward.

Meredith Anastasio
Managing Director, Lincoln Healthcare Group

As a professional conference organizer, we initially asked Soren to deliver a top level, executive education workshop to kickoff an event with over 300 C-Suite executives from the healthcare industry. The feedback was so outstanding we invited him back to lead a similar discussion at another event. Soren’s unique ability to tailor his message, facilitate collaboration, and push the thinking of senior executives, puts him in the top tier of speakers we work with.

Renee Dineen
Head of Organizational Development, Hoffmann-La Roche

Soren’s keynote presentation to a group of up-and-coming high potential leaders and their senior leader mentors revealed how leaders at any stage in their careers can leapfrog over their assumptions to promote innovation in their organizations. His focus on practical application worked well with our globally diverse audience, while also providing a new way to look at creating breakthrough ideas.

Dr. Stephanie Duggan
Chief Medical Officer, Sacred Heart Health System

Soren was able to captivate, inspire, and transform a diverse group of physicians, nursing directors and senior leadership with a combination of a keynote and an applied workshop. The practical understanding of strategic innovation delivered in Soren’s relaxed style was the perfect beginning to our journey in developing a culture of innovation. His use of video, slides, and workshop techniques really made his messages stay with all who attended.
