Martin made sure we got exactly what we’d hoped for out of the day — to be brought well together.

Two groups of employees needed to connect socially across different tasks. Martin made sure we got exactly what we’d hoped for out of the day — to be brought well together. We all laughed so hard our stomach muscles were wrecked afterwards, and we agree it was a really good talk we won’t soon forget.

Jette Gammelby, Deputy Office Manager
Herlev Hospital

Martin Erichsen’s talk leaves positive marks. I’ve heard the echo several times: "I’m ready! Are you ready?" – and when we met again on Monday morning, I also heard colleagues say: "Thank goodness it’s finally Monday".

Everyone thought it was a really good talk, highly relevant to the psychological working environment — and a brilliant day all round.

Martin set a lot in motion, and we’ve already recommended him to others.

We’re still laughing — yes, really — everyone is still laughing! Martin set a lot in motion, and we’ve already recommended him to others. Martin’s energy is contagious, his messages are clearly delivered and his sense of humour is top-notch.

At the restaurant afterwards, other guests we didn’t know looked a little annoyed at first, as we kept on laughing. But after 10 minutes they had to laugh along with us. FANTASTIC EFFECT!

Martin can be proud of what he does.

Anna Kathrine Højland, Clinical Psychologist
Hvidovre Hospital

The hospital staff were literally on a waiting list to get in and experience Martin Erichsen. Martin is an inspiring speaker, and is recommended for hospitals looking for a powerful experience for staff days like ours.

Martin Erichsen reminded us that our psychological working environment, communication and laughter are also a proactive way to work with a patient’s physical as well as mental health.

There’s no doubt that good wellbeing is good medicine for both mind and body. Most people know that poor health affects our mood – but we often forget that a negative focus can affect our health, too. Headaches, for example, can come from tension caused by anger, frustration or stress. With that in mind, we mustn’t forget laughter and good wellbeing in our contact with patients.

The effect of laughter on the course of an illness doesn’t just relieve pain directly — it often also helps bring the patient into mental balance, which contributes positively to the treatment.

Martin Erichsen reminded us that our psychological working environment, communication and laughter are also a proactive way to work with a patient’s physical as well as mental health. It was a fascinating talk!

So I send warm recommendations to anyone working inside and outside healthcare who might be interested in the reminder of how important laughter is in working together.

Claus Manniche, Professor, MD & Chief Physician
OUH Odense University Hospital

Martin’s talk on communication in teamwork was simply brilliant! He got us acting with willpower and enthusiasm I’d never dreamed of. Now I understand his point that you don’t need breaks!

Martin opened the days and worked as a catalyst for laughter, joy and energy.

We wanted to improve wellbeing in a couple of our teams. So we’d arranged a couple of theme days with personal feedback on the programme. Martin opened the days and worked as a catalyst for laughter, joy and energy. It was a big success. Martin helped us get closer to each other, and later open up conversations we’d found difficult before.

Lars Høg Jensen, Deputy Head
the Labour Market Insurance authority

A kickstart... "Thank goodness it’s almost Monday" can be a release for a bad mood in a team or department. In the well-functioning department, it can boost and maintain the good mood. Even though it can be hard to smile on day two of a tight 2-day programme, it succeeded completely. Martin Erichsen got everyone, without exception, to laugh and sent us home with a positive experience. We did something together, took part in a fun event that was neither too little nor too much. The employees reported back that it was a really good and surprising event — and I still see employees referring to the course with a smile... here, a month and a half after the course.

After Martin Erichsen’s talk, we decided to keep working actively on integrating humour as a tool in our everyday work and task-solving.

An exciting task that Martin helped get us well on our way with.

It was a great pleasure to experience Martin at our senior management meeting in the City of Aarhus. Martin draws great praise from participants, and I’d clearly recommend him to other management teams.

Birgitta Sloth Christiansen, HR Partner

I think I can say, on everyone’s behalf, that Martin’s talk set some things in motion. Participants were a little reserved at first, but everyone ended up getting a kick out of it before we left. A few even got so much energy that they went back to the office and worked!

Everyone thought it was really good — and yes, we learned from it.

Martin’s talk couldn’t have landed more perfectly.

Martin’s talk couldn’t have landed more perfectly. The tears were rolling – and that was before we’d really started laughing.

It’s hard to explain what Martin Erichsen can do. So I’d clearly recommend experiencing him.

René Junker, Head of Service
the City of Odense

We had a really good event with Martin Erichsen. Participants had a positive experience that I’m sure has lodged in their minds. So I’m also sure we’ve all moved forward – maybe not with high-fives and cheers as a natural part of everyday life, but in that everyone has been made aware of the strength of the tools we covered at the seminar.

I can definitely recommend Martin to both private and public organisations.

Martin is hard to categorise, which is perhaps also why he’s so worth recommending.

Power aerobics, teambuilding, mental training or entertainment. Martin is hard to categorise, which is perhaps also why he’s so worth recommending. One thing is certain, though: the sweat was flying, barriers came down and inhibitions were dropped — by the youngest trainee officer as well as the most senior duty officer. The mood was sky-high as Martin, in a short time, created a happy, playful setting at our internal staff seminar at Copenhagen Police.

No doubt other police districts would benefit from experiencing Martin’s relaxed but entertaining teaching style.

Michael Vibe Kragh, Duty Officer
Copenhagen Police, Amager station

It was brilliant to see colleagues high-fiving each other at the office the next morning.

Martin’s talk is fantastic. He managed to get us all in a really good mood in a different way than we were used to – while we also built really good togetherness. I speak for all my colleagues when I say he completed our event. Martin will get — and has already got — the warmest recommendations from us!

Several people have taken many of your positive messages to heart, and there are signs they’re being used in the everyday approach to tasks, too.

Several people have taken many of your positive messages to heart, and there are signs they’re being used in the everyday approach to tasks, too.

Personally, I thought it was full of energy, and that’s definitely good. I actively use your point that we should be aware of whether we reinforce each other’s energy in a negatively charged, downward spiral, or focus on strengthening each other’s energy in an upward, positive one. I believe it works.

Asked whether Martin Erichsen’s four talks for all our employees have left positive marks, I’ll start by stating: yes, they definitely have! Since then we’ve heard phrases around the company that clearly draw on his messages: "I’m ready" – "Raise the bar" – "Choose your state of mind" and so on. Martin Erichsen definitely lived up to my expectations.
