The difference

I teach AI the way I used to teach dance

Before jumping into AI, I ran five dance schools. In every class, I showed the step, the room tried it, and we kept going until everyone could do it.

My AI sessions work the same way, so your people leave with something already working.

Built for your room

We have a planning call first, so every example comes from your audience's world.

Taught from a real business

I run my own company on the AI systems I teach, mistakes included.

Energy people remember

Years on stage as a choreographer taught me how to keep a room moving.

Talks

Three talks, shaped around your event

Pick the talk, then make it yours with the format and examples that fit your event.

AI adoption

You In, You Out: Onboard AI Like Your Best New Hire

Your best new hire needs a few weeks to learn the business, and so does AI. I show your people what to teach it first, so it starts giving them answers they can use.

Ask about this talk

Your audience leaves with

  • The reason AI gives them generic answers, and the fix
  • What to teach AI before they ask it anything
  • Three jobs from their week to hand over straight away

Best for

Company conferences, all-hands meetings, and leadership offsites

Make it yours

Run it as a keynote, a 90-minute workshop, or a half-day training where everyone sets up their own AI workspace.

AI employees

From Tools to Teammates: Your Team's First AI Employees

I run my business with AI assistants that draft our content, research our prospects, and hand me the weekly numbers. I show your people how to give AI its first real job.

Ask about this talk

Your audience leaves with

  • The first job each team can hand to AI
  • Which jobs should stay human
  • Who checks the AI's work, so quality holds

Best for

Operations and transformation events, innovation days and leadership teams

Make it yours

Run it as a keynote, or as a full-day training where each team builds its first AI assistant. For founder events, I run it as "The Founder's AI Team."

Sales & marketing

Content That Books Calls: AI for Sales & Marketing

Every client my company has come through content made with AI. I show your team how to research buyers, post in their own voice, and turn comments and DMs into booked calls.

Ask about this talk

Your audience leaves with

  • How to research a buyer with AI before the first message
  • Content that starts real conversations
  • A follow-up routine that leads to a booked call

Best for

Sales kickoffs, marketing conferences, founder events, and client-facing experts

Make it yours

Run it as a keynote or a 90-minute workshop. For employer branding, we focus on your experts posting in their own voice.

If you have a theme of your own, like AI in your industry, tell me the audience, and I'll build a session around it.

How a team training runs

  1. Before

    I meet your team lead to pick the jobs worth fixing first.

  2. On the day

    I show each step, then everyone builds with their own work while my team helps.

  3. After

    Your team keeps the recording and all resources, and I check in with your team lead 30 days later.

Every booking includes a planning call with me, examples from your industry and a tech check before we start.

About me

I'm Danny, the choreographer who became an AI trainer

Twenty years ago, I moved to Finland from South India with no connections and built five dance schools from nothing.

Then COVID hit, and I lost all five in a matter of weeks. My daughter was born in the middle of it, while I was deep in debt and teaching from a laptop on the washing machine.

So I started again.

I began posting on LinkedIn; a few posts went viral, and clients started reaching out on their own.

Around the same time, I joined NAS Daily's academy as a student, where they asked for one assignment and I handed in five. That took me from student to lead trainer to AI advisor, and NAS AI School awarded me a Top Rated Trainer six times.

AI50+ stages, 10+ countries

And I rebuilt my whole business around AI before I taught a single lesson. Since then, I've taken what I learned to 50+ stages in 10+ countries, from the National Achievers Congress in Singapore to teams at Intel, eToro and Deutsche Welle.

Questions organisers ask me

Something else on your mind? Ask it when you check availability.

How much does it cost to book you?

It depends on the format, length, and location, and online sessions cost less than in-person. Tell me your budget when you check availability, and my team will send the options that fit.

Can you tailor the talk to our audience?

Yes, every time. After our planning call, I build the examples around your industry, and you approve the outline before the day.

Can we add a hands-on workshop to the keynote?

Yes. The keynote gets everyone excited, and a workshop the same afternoon or the next morning gets them building.

Is it too technical for our team?

No. I teach in plain English and show every step on screen first, so people who've barely used AI can keep up.

Do you speak online?

Yes. Online keynotes run 30 to 45 minutes with live Q&A, and trainings run as 90-minute sessions.

Do you travel internationally?

Yes. I'm based in Finland and speak across Europe, the Middle East and Asia. For in-person events, the organiser covers travel and accommodation.

How far ahead should we book?

Three to six months ahead gives you the widest choice of dates, but shorter notice can work if the date is free.
