What do I work as now?

Good question that isn’t always easy to answer. It is in many cases better to see what we have already delivered.  Let me try this… I deliver courses, motivational workshops, seminars, coaching and mental training to individuals, teams and organizations around the world together with the fantastic Geir Isene at Å (A-Circle AS) 

Want it simpler?

You. Your company. Boosted.

You’ll Never Walk Alone

One of my favourite film clips

Now the time has come for living
For here now we shall return
We were so glad we could make it
But so sad we gotta run
Well, it might be a long time
‘Til we raise another glass
You can rest assured that next time
We’ll have ourselves a laugh
(Yeah, we’ll have ourselves a laugh)
We’ll meet again
Don’t know where, don’t know when
We all had a good time
And we’re sad to see it end
Good luck be with you
You go your way, I go mine
So until the next time
It’s farewell and not good-bye
Now the show is nearly over
And we gotta pack it in
Though we had ourselves a really good time
It must come to an end
So now I say good evening
As I write another line
We have ourselves a glass
And wish each other well
(Yeah, we wish each other well)
We’ll meet again
Don’t know…
