About Seth

Born and raised on a 4th generation family farm in the Midwest, I learned early that adaptability is essential. Whether it was the weather or fluctuating markets, change was a constant presence. For the past 20 years, I’ve worked alongside visionary leaders from some of the world’s most iconic brands, helping them navigate transformation in a rapidly evolving world. At FutureSight Labs, my mission is to empower leaders with the insights and strategies they need to create organizations that are not just ready for the future, but capable of leading it.

There’s something special about a home-cooked meal—the warmth, the aroma, the love infused in every dish. Like many, I grew up with food prepared by someone who cared deeply, creating meals that transcended ingredients and became expressions of love. That magic is what stays with us, reminding us that food is more than sustenance; it’s a connection to those we cherish.

More About Seth

In a world where AI and automation are transforming everything around us, I’ve dedicated my work to exploring how human ingenuity can thrive alongside technological advancement. Growing up as a farm kid, I learned early on the value of hard work, humility, and the importance of leaving a personal imprint on everything I do. These lessons have guided me through two decades of helping leaders at companies like Mastercard, IBM, and Disney navigate the complexities of organizational change, where people and technology must come together.

Being named one of the "Top 50 Keynote Speakers in the World" by Real Leaders Magazine is an honor, but what truly drives me is the belief that when our work is infused with meaning, purpose, and a pursuit of excellence, competition becomes irrelevant. The "Made with Love" strategy I’ve developed isn’t just a business approach; it’s a way of ensuring that, even in an age dominated by algorithms, we don’t lose sight of the human touch that makes our work special

fantastic speaker

Seth was fantastic and I would be thrilled to recommend him in the future. He spent time with us prior to the conference to get to know the audience and my Execs, modifying his presentation as requested and managing the delicate balance of some of our requests and his presentation.

exceeded expectations

- Denbury Resources

We have never had such positive feedback so you very much exceeded our expectations. You were quoted numerous times throughout the remainder of the conference which says people took your message to heart and will put it to work in their everyday jobs – exactly what we aimed for!

great to work with

- Verizon

We love working with Seth for our client engagements. Over the years, he’s always brought a fresh perspective! … Seth was exactly what we needed to help reorient our client’s view of the future. Folks were buzzing after!

useful messages

- U.S. Bancorp

Your messages were insightful, interesting and useful in helping us think about leading high-performance teams.

Attendees Loved!

- APC

Your Keynote was fabulous and provided key takeaways for the attendees to use right away, but also got them emotionally connected with your stories like the one about you and your wife in the car. Your ending ‘mantra’ about as individuals we need to love, serve, add value, and have fun was just fantastic and I heard & saw many attendees (including myself) agreeing and nodding their heads vigorously when you presented that. It was even more obvious during the photo opp & meet and greets (with that HUGE line) that our attendees really related to you and just absolutely loved you overall!

big impact

- NASA

Seth’s work with the agency has had a big impact on the way we think about digital transformation and the future of leadership.
