Martin is so rhetorically challenging that you’re forced to take a stance on his message.

Martin’s talk draws plenty of praise, and he manages to tailor it so it fits well with the rest of the day’s programme.

Martin’s contribution to our theme day on stress, happiness at work and enthusiasm was a very entertaining take on how to get through the stressful days with humour.

Over the two hours the talk lasted, Martin created a fantastic mood, where laughter and high-fives were accepted as a tool for building a good working environment in the departments.

In a perfect setting high up in the Kattegat Silo in Frederikshavn, the stage was set for the sales department’s annual seminar for 124 employees at NORDJYSKE Medier. The theme of the seminar was "The will to change" — a theme that, for the last 5 years, has been and will continue to be part of the culture at NORDJYSKE Medier. Martin Erichsen was chosen to put the topic in perspective for a sales organisation that has shown a will to change, but that also experiences a busy, hectic everyday.

Over the two hours the talk lasted, Martin created a fantastic mood, where laughter and high-fives were accepted as a tool for building a good working environment in the departments. The call for each employee to take responsibility, backed by Martin’s idea that you choose for yourself which mood you want to be in, gave food for thought.

Martin got everyone in the hall to shout YES with a clenched fist, stand on their chair while clapping and cheering, do the "Strong like a BULL" exercise, jump down off the chair to high-five ten colleagues — while, every now and then, there was time for reflection...

We definitely moved the bar higher at this seminar – not least thanks to two fantastic hours with Martin Erichsen.

- will never be forgotten at Sandrew Metronome, and I can only recommend Martin to anyone after an unconventional – but absolutely successful – "ice-breaker" for their events!

With employees from Finland, Norway, Sweden and Denmark, it was very important that we brought people together as an ideal start to our Nordic kick-off meeting. And Martin Erichsen’s entertaining teambuilding gave us just that.

After a little bewilderment, even the most sceptical surrendered to the almost euphoric mood, which quickly spread – and lasted through the rest of the day and night.

Martin Erichsen broke down more barriers than we could have done ourselves in six months!

That day – and this act in particular! - will never be forgotten at Sandrew Metronome, and I can only recommend Martin to anyone after an unconventional – but absolutely successful – "ice-breaker" for their events!

We sought the best, and with Martin we got the best.

We sought the best, and with Martin we got the best. Martin creates a mood and a warmth that doesn’t just last the evening, but carries on all through the next day. We’re 5 local authorities who needed to get to know each other and create a shared culture. I’m sure a really good foundation has now been built that we can keep working from.

We used Martin Erichsen’s talk to see how important it is to choose your own state of mind. We were lifted!

I can only recommend other schools experience Martin’s entertaining, thought-provoking talk.

Martin gave 80 teachers from Bogense a very inspiring afternoon. I’ve had nothing but positive comments. "Well done", "strong", "funny" and "thought-provoking" are the words that keep coming back – and then "if only it were Monday soon". I can only recommend other schools experience Martin’s entertaining, thought-provoking talk.

Martin did his part to make sure the rest of the evening was full of high spirits and plenty of applause.

Martin’s talk is really good. Partly because it makes you aware of a lot of things most people unconsciously know, but often forget to put into action in a busy everyday.

It was a really good and very professionally delivered talk that Martin Erichsen gave.

It was a really good and very professionally delivered talk that Martin Erichsen gave. I’ve had a lot of positive feedback, and the 'physical' activity in the second half of the meeting in particular went down well. The postcards from the mini-book were also a hit.

Everyone got a lot out of his stories and punchlines, which were very well presented and funny.

The talk was completely in line with what we’d expected — a good kick-off, a good mood and plenty to talk about in the days that followed.

Personally, by the way, I’m also very happy with your newsletter emails — a topic roughly every week. The frequency is right, and the length of your emails is good too. So do keep it up.

Martin’s talk gave us exactly the new energy we needed at the end of a long conference. The talk meant participants left the conference full of new energy. While Martin’s talk has high entertainment value, his points about "choosing your mood" and "raising the bar" also give food for thought and follow-up reflection in the organisation.

To give our psychological working environment a lift, we’d invited Martin. We had a really good evening, and noticed in particular how much talk and laughter there was afterwards.

Martin’s points are lively, boundary-pushing and give plenty of food for thought – both for now and for Monday morning.

Martin Erichsen got everyone on board. He gave the day a strong kickstart, where everyone got up out of their chairs and shouted YES so it echoed through the rest of our time together.
