This is some of what has been said said about our my speaking engagements:
We have now been through all the evaluation forms from our International Marketing Seminar last week, and it’s a pleasure to inform you that your contribution got a very good score. It’s always something special to have external contributors at internal corporate events, and we’re more than happy to conclude that the participants valued yours.
Bo Westergård, Marketing Project Manager, Oticon A/S – Denmark
Visiting you turned out to be the highlight of our study trip to Copenhagen, not least because you addressed so clearly the challenges that we face in our own organization.
Einar Wiig, Dean, Bergen National Academy of the Arts – Norway
Thank you for a great intervention yesterday! We’ve had lots of positive feedback on the event, so we think it’s absolutely wonderful.
Kaja Misvær, Service Innovation Manager / Partner, Designit Oslo – Norway
