Martin Erichsen's sessions teach you how to accelerate the personal development you want. He mixes teaching, entertainment and practical exercises holding more than 250 sessions every year, making him one of the most popular speakers in Denmark.

"I concentrate on how to make things work properly and not who is right and who isn't. It's like learning to drive a car:

Some people have trouble starting the engine or need to find the pedals. Some need help with the steering wheel, and others have always just chosen to sit in the back, just watching passively as the car moves along without their input or control.

My job is about getting teams and people to climb into the driver's seat and take control of the car so they can drive in their own direction at the speed they want. It's really all about creating freedom."

Martin has had interesting and varied work experience, including selling toothpicks, but it is his commercial background that is the foundation of his career. He has a finance degree from Copenhagen Business School and has worked as a management consultant for the Swedish Internet consulting firm IconMedialab.

Martin created a platform of chemistry between the team members which I think will last for a long time. Our meeting with Martin was both refreshing and valuable. He has without a doubt developed our view on the importance and potential of social skills in the workplace.

Martin's LaughterClass provided, not only a timely reminder of the importance of raising a smile, but reinforced the added extras it brings along with it. As well as breaking down barriers between individuals and groups of people, it is undoubtedly contagious. In fact on the day, he had the most serious of people sitting on the floor with tears rolling down their faces. I still laugh when I think about it now.One of the most enjoyable sessions I have ever attended.
