Shaping the future for leading brands.

I booked Patrick for a teambuilding and training session with my customer service team. Patrick was truly a pleasure to work with, and we all learned a lot. We gained several tools we can use in our daily work, along with a great evening of teambuilding that brought us closer together as a team. I would recommend Patrick any day.

PVH Corp.

We had the pleasure of having Patrick for a full-day sales seminar, where Patrick ensured a consistently high and positive energy throughout the day. He had clearly taken the time to understand our company and our needs and came well-prepared with relevant and practical examples and exercises tailored to us. The balance between theory and everyday application was spot on—providing both inspiring insights and the opportunity to test and practice them in real time. We left with valuable reflections and concrete tools we could start using the very next day.

Marc Kramer

Head of Sales, Sparinvest

Have a team of highly dedicated colleagues that due to a constant change of management and direction had lost a bit of their otherwise high level of self motivation. Patrick did a fabulous job of assisting them back on track by drawing parallels to the competitive world of elite sports and equally did a great job of stating the obvious that may be hard to accept/see sometimes: YOU need to take charge of YOUR life. Just like any top athlete do every single day. With a multi national team the session was conducted in English, and Patrick came across just as well as he does in his native tongue. Having rekindled my teams winning spirit, the team quickly returned to their old highly professional top quality value adding mode. A great thank You to Patrick from all of us. p.s Dedication: Patrick made room for the session in spite of having to run for his plane to Tenerife where he was scheduled to do competitive swim training the very same day.

I have had the pleasure of attending a two day "high performance" course, which was facilitated by Patrick. Patrick is a extraordinary mediator, and have a great talent for captivating his audience. He has an understanding of how to blend theoretical tools with reality and in that why use what he has learned through research and studies to perform in the practical world. In other words, he makes sure that the audience get an understanding of how theory works in the practical world.

Frederikke Søgård

HR Partner, ALDI

A huge recommendation from me! Patrick was the instructor at a course during our graduate programme at ALDI Denmark, focusing on high performance, winning culture and DiSC. The training was practical, engaging and—most importantly—highly educational. Thank you for the session. I truly hope I’ll get the opportunity to learn even more from you and your teaching, Patrick.

Mads Jessen

HR Partner, ALDI

I had the fortune to attend to a communication seminar Patrick held for Client Relations in Sweden. It was inspirational, high in energy and a mixture of interesting thoughts for the brain and exercises that I have been able to reuse both privately and in my work.

Nina Norrgård

Business Risk Manager, Nordea

We had the pleasure of Patrick on a inspiration workshop in our Nordic Training & Development department in Nordea. The 35 consultants, all skilled within developing and motivating people all left the workshop impresssed by Patricks abillity to communicate and maintain the attention from the entire team. Patrick demands the room when he wants to, but also leaves room for others to contribute and discuss. We did not regret inviting Patrick to discus development and strategy within gamification and future ways of learning, it was both challenging and enlightning.

Camilla Klänning

Training & Development, Nordea

Patrick comes to his classes in Projekteringsledelse /Engineering management extremely well prepared and with commitment and empathy for the participants' reality. Patrick's experience and overview of leadership moves participants forward quickly. The participants leave with rich benefit and can immediately use DISC as a tool in their daily day as project managers. We are lucky in COWI/Arkitema to be able to draw on such a stretched capacity as Patrick!

Christine Søndermark Pedersen

Head of competences, Cowi-Arkitema

Patrick has a unique drive and knows how to channel it into organizational development and reflection, ensuring that the organization doesn’t stagnate but continuously evolves in line with customer needs and expectations—both internal and external. Those who consider themselves fully educated are more finished than educated. (This quote is from Poul Jørgensen and can be found, among other places, on the wall at Severin in Middelfart.) I believe this quote perfectly describes Patrick. He is always in pursuit of new knowledge and personal growth. This constant quest to improve makes Patrick incredibly knowledgeable and an outstanding sparring partner—one I continue to learn from and, hopefully, will for many years to come.

Michael Drejer

Owner, DiSCnordic

I have had the pleasure of working with Patrick on several occasions. Patrick is an incredibly dedicated person, with solid business skills and who always acts objectively and focused. Patrick has an ability to influence people and create value for both his colleagues and the business. He has an energy that not many have. This energy was especially expressed the last time I collaborated with Patrick, when he led COWI's Energizer course, which I was lucky enough to participate in. The ability to lead change management at a high level has made an impression on me and I have no doubt that the tools I have gained in the Energizer course, such as, to take responsibility for my own development and career, will make a difference in my further working life.

Maja Winther

Business Director, Cowi

I had the pleasure of being called into COWI Internationals talent program, Energize. Patrick acted as the organizer, facilitator of this one-year program and was the main factor for the program living up to it's name. Patrick is a very engaged facilitator, with clear goals set per session and for the entire program. He is rich in helpful anecdotes from previous engagements, among them lots of stories about working as swimming coach. The other speakers joining the program were handpicked by Patrick and a good match for the topics at hand. On top of that, Patrick also took the time for some 1:1 sparring when I asked for some insight into the personality profiles that were part of the program. Much appreciated.

Hannes Koopman

Leading Project Manager, Cowi

Patrick was an amazing mentor during the MindCap Academy programme, providing insightful feedback to tasks and greatly planned webinars and activities. He always came in with a great smile on his face, full of encouraging support and an extensive ability to provide greater understanding to us regarding different Marketing strategies.

Annika Bansal

Digital Marketing Strategist

Patrick visited Cphbusiness to give a lecture on DISC to the Finance Bachelor students in their 7th semester. It was a session full of energy and dynamics, where the audience was not only captivated but also actively involved through various exercises. I can highly recommend Patrick as both an educator and speaker.

Lotte Smidt

Head of education, CPH Business

Patrick participated in Yngre Lægedagen 2013, an inspiration day for all junior doctors in Denmark, organized by Yngre Læger Region Sjælland. Patrick gave a presentation where he combined his knowledge of communication and personality profiles in a way that made it highly applicable for junior doctors in their encounters with patients. The talk, titled “The Good Encounter with the Patient,” received excellent feedback and praise in our evaluations. Patrick is skilled at engaging his audience while inspiring reflection on one’s own approach to others—and in this case, to patients. I’m happy to give him my highest recommendation, and if we were to host a similar event again, he would be the first person we’d reach out to. On behalf of the board of Yngre Læger, Region Sjælland, Mie Lembke

Mie Lembke

Chairperson, YL & Doctor

I really liked the presentation, Patrick's energy, and people skills in general. My main takeaways are that we are working with people, and we need to use the positivity to increase our productivity. We should smile much more, and I need to sleep more. Oh, and I really liked Patrick's shoes. 😄

Financial advisor, COWI

The presentation was very fun and energizing; Patrick knew how to grab attention. It was very useful and insightful lecture and good showcase that sometimes we need to just look on things from the positive side. I definitely enjoyed it, and it would be great to have something similar in the future.

Financial Controller, COWI

It worked on me in a way that I kind of have to reflect on my behavior towards other people, I mean I really have to try to be more open and I think it is really uncomfortable, but at the same time I feel I really need to challenge myself. Also, I was reminded that having a positive attitude at work really helps to achieve better results.
