Workshop
A workshop on shared engagement for those who need to align the team’s drive. Relevant whether motivation is high or low.
Martin Erichsen’s workshop on shared engagement is about decisions that hold in everyday work. The workshop is for new and experienced teams — private and public. It typically lasts three hours. Martin gives it across Denmark and abroad — in Danish or English.
Shared engagement in a team means everyone backs a decision, even though not everyone is naturally in full agreement. Reaching agreement is always good, but when it takes a long time to agree, speed, clarity and direction matter more than getting your way. That’s why teams with high shared engagement perform up to 30% better. It’s because commitment to a decision creates momentum. Long discussions to reach agreement create standstill and low spirits.
About the workshop in brief
What matters is whether your decisions hold once you leave the table. When you strengthen your ability to commit — even when you don’t agree — you avoid taking the same decisions up again and again. You make decisions faster and stick to them afterwards. That strengthens both your collaboration and your wellbeing.

When does a decision hold? When everyone backs it, including those who’d rather have done something else. That’s what creates momentum.
Shared engagement isn’t about agreeing,
but about committing to one shared focus
Martin Erichsen’s talk — and especially the exercises along the way — created a fantastic spirit and team feeling.
There’s no doubt that good wellbeing is good medicine.
Martin Erichsen reminded us that a healthy work environment, communication and laughter are a proactive way of working with the patient’s health. Warm recommendations from us.
Martin’s entertaining workshop is relevant for the team, the leadership and the whole organisation.
Engagement rarely stands alone. It’s strongest alongside conflict handling and shared accountability. Without honest disagreement, engagement turns into polite support. Without shared accountability, it never turns into action. Together, the three themes bring the discipline that makes decisions stick.
Because full agreement rarely comes. And when it finally does, you’ve spent too long waiting for it. What matters isn’t whether everyone agreed, but whether everyone backs it. Research on high-performing teams points to that discipline as what separates fast decisions from slow ones. The workshop builds it.
One of the central exercises is a Team Charter. It’s a shared agreement on what you expect of each other, how you make decisions, and how you handle disagreement. Research on Team Charters shows that they strengthen communication, cohesion and the sense that the team works. A simple exercise with a lasting effect.
