Public Speaking, Pitching & Communication Skills Workshops
Communication skills allow us to form connections, influence decisions and motivate others. Having the ability to deliver your message confidently and effectively can have an enormous impact on you and your team’s success. Luckily these are skills everyone can learn.

Highly practical
Bjørn’s high-energy workshops are incredibly interactive, and incorporate exercises from improv theatre, acting and professional storytelling. Teams participating in these workshops learn though practice rather than theory.
Relevant for business
While the exercises originate in the theatre, they’ve been modified to serve the day-to-day requirements of the business world. Workshop activities include developing communication strategies, developing and delivering pitches, and learning to shape and tell relevant and convincing stories.
Extremely motivating
We are more inclined to step out of our comfort zone and take risks when we feel we’re in a safe space, so that is what the workshops are designed to provide. The goal is for every participant to leave the workshop inspired by the experience, excited to apply what they’ve learned, and confident about their newfound abilities.
Become a more relaxed and charismatic speaker with an arsenal of powerful techniques from the world of acting and improvisational theatre.

What Participants Are Saying
“This workshop really helped me step out of my comfort zone and become more confident in presenting. The workshop is very hands-on and contains many tips and exercises that help you structure your presentation, use your body to make your presentation more vivid, and lose the fear of speaking in front of other people!”
Eva Maria Elfers - Amboss
“Bjørn's all-day public-speaking workshop was a treat. His overall presentation was well-structured, well-explained, and well-paced, but more than that, his use of group feedback, breakout rooms, and paired work kept us engaged and active. He fostered an accepting, open atmosphere in which we felt comfortable sharing our anxieties and practicing techniques targeting our personal pain points. Good information, good vibes, good practice -- good workshop.”
C. Rice - Wooga
“So different from other workshops. Exciting to discover our hidden talents. Got so many tips and tricks of how communication really works. Sharpening the senses on what to pay attention to ... and so forth. Thanks again for your valuable insights Bjorn 👍”
