“Bjørn's course was extraordinary helpful, he kindly motivates teams to present confidently. He encouraged us, helped to find the right angle and focus and provided us with narrative tools to underline our core idea. Great coach!”
Victoria Teske – LOT1
“The excersises helped me reflect on my presentation skills and work on areas of improvement. I learned how to prepare for a presentation and became more comfortable speaking in front of people. I very much enjoyed the group sessions, while everyone learned how to pitch an idea and how to engage with and inspire an audience, there was also a significant team-building element to the workshop.”
Inga Roesler - Managing Editor Δ AMBOSS

FAQ
What happens if I can’t make a live session?
Obviously, nothing beats live sessions for instant feedback and peer interaction.
However, if you can't make a live session, all sessions will be recorded to allow anyone who misses one to watch them at a later stage.
I work full-time, what is the expected time commitment?
Every week there will be either a live workshop, one-on-one coaching or a training session with your buddy (2-3 hours each) and you are asked to do some self practice of around 4 hours. So you can bank on ~6 hours per week.
€ 1,450 is a lot of money. What if I don’t like the course?
If at any point you find you’re not satisfied with your progress, just email me, and if I’m unable to resolve the problem, I’ll issue a full refund.
Do I need prior experience in public speaking?
No, you do not. All you need is a desire to change, a desire to awaken the storyteller that lies within each of us.
