Achieve Success

If you are looking for a talk about how we can become the best version of ourselves and increase our productivity through goal setting, positive mindset and good all-round health then the talk Achieve Success is something for you.
In this one hour talk I share my experience and the methods I used to make it to three Olympic games and finish a PhD at the same time. I talk specifically about how your people can use those methods in their lives to be more successful. Included is a project booklet to support them in getting what we talk about done.

Here is what others had to say about Achieve Success

Sveinborg Hafliðadóttir

- Head of HR and Strategy at BYKO​​

Ásdís held her goal setting workshop at BYKO's management day and really impressed the group. Her experience of goal setting, challenges and perserverance adds even more value to the material for the participants. We found it a great advantage that all the managers went home with tools to work on goal setting in their personal and work life.

Birna Kristín Jónsdóttir

- Education specialist at Síminn​​

It's so nice when our elite athletes who have truly experienced the ups and downs on their journey are willing to share their experiences. Ásdís's experience and success are really worth sharing. The talk "Náðu Árangri" appeals very well to those who want to set clear and realistic goals for themselves. Ásdís makes it very easy to understand how best to set realistic goals step by step. It's really fun to listen to Ásdís review her career and how she dealt with adversity. In her mind there is no such thing as failure which is a great and infectious mindset.

Sandra Ósk Jóhannsdóttir

- Project manager of talks and courses at VR​​

The "Achieve Success" course is very clear and well organised. Ásdís is a very lively and dynamic speaker, who gives good examples and asks well-posed questions that make the participants think. The workbook goes well with the course and is good to take home with you after the course as it is easy to review the material with the help of the workbook.

Ásdís Hannesdóttir

- Human Resources Manager at JYSK​​

Ásdís's talk, Achieve Success, hit the mark for us - absolutely fantastic. Really needed and a good reminder of how we can become the best version of ourselves presented in a vivid way.

Inga Jóna Þórisdóttir

- Director of education at the Icelandic road and coastal administration​​

Ásdís' talk was well presented, inspiring and beneficial. Good advice is given regarding goal setting as well as the way to reach those goals when they are available. Really interesting and useful!

Svanhildur Sverrisdóttir

- Human resources manager Icelandic coast guard​​

Ásdís' talk is interesting and educational and it's message is well suited to both play and work. She relates the subject to her own experience with diverse examples, which makes the talk both sincere and entertaining.

Alma Hannesdóttir

- Director of education at Arion banki​​

Ásdís gave us an insight into accessible techniques that can be used for effective goal setting, both at work and in our personal lives. She covered every step of the process and gave good examples that was easy to relate to. During the training we had time to reflect on our own goals and process them with the methods we learned. I recommend this training for goal focused companies as well as those who want to assist their employees with setting personal goals.

Dagbjört Una Helgadóttir

- Human resources manager AÞ Þrif​​

Ásdís came to us and gave a talk for our staff in English on the occasion of happiness week. Our people were very pleased with this great talk which encouraged us all to be the best possible version of ourselves, not only that, but in the process she gave us the tools to achieve that success. It is difficult to find a talented speaker who wants to speak English, so I was extremely happy with how well she delivered the material in English.

Anna Lóa Ólafsdóttir

- Isavia Teaching consultant​​

We brought Ásdís to Isavia at the beginning of autumn ‘23, to get us in the right gear, professionally and personally. Ásdís has an easy way of enthralling people and presenting her content in both an inspiring and entertaining way. She doesn’t take herself too seriously and leaves people with the feeling that setting goals and going after them isn’t that complicated after all. We can all train both positivity and courage, which are mental qualities that will get us far, and Ásdís has taken full advantage of them. I wholeheartedly recommend having Ásdís for a visit - she has an impact!

Bergrún Lilja Sigurjónsdóttir

- Career development manager at VÍS​​​​​​​​​​

The talk was a success with our staff. Ásdís was lively, with a strong demeanor, and spoke with enthusiasm and sincerity. She is a great role model in a positive mindset and delivered the material well despite being in a teleconference.

Sandra Ósk Jóhannsdóttir

- Project manager of talks and courses at VR​​​​​​​​​​

 We got Ásdís to have an electronic talk for VR members in the spring of 2021. It was absolutely amazing how much enthusiasm and power she managed to flow through the screen. The talk is lively, fun and easy to connect with the examples she takes. I think her sincerity shines through when she takes an example of herself and how she has faced challenges over the years to achieve outstanding results.

Ólafur Kári Júlíusson

- Human resources specialist at Landsnet​​​​

 It was a pleasure to listen to Ásdís talking about goal setting and achieving results. Throughout the talk you could feel her enthusiasm and experience with the topic; suffice it to say, she had no problems keeping us focused. The examples she used to emphasize her message were both human and very relevant to the daily lives of „normal“ people, you don‘t have to be a star athlete to understand her message. She successfully related her experience and journey to three Olympic Games, the pain and effort, the determination and the absolute mind-boggling grit required to get there. All this experience she managed to deliver nicely and got us to think about these aspects in our own daily lives. I am thankful for having had the opportunity to listen to her approach to challenges and adversity.

Eva Demireva

- Human Resources ORIGO​​

 Ásdís came to us with the talks “Achieve success” which was both professional and motivating. Her talk inspired our staff and she gave us tools to work with in goal setting and positive mindset. I cannot recommend Ásdís enough as a speaker!

Katrín Salima Dögg Ólafsdóttir

- Project leader at the police educational center​​​​​​​​​​

The talk was amazing, motivating and a good reminder that you can always do better but at the same time reminding yourself that you are enough. It goes well together.

Silja Úlfarsdóttir

- President of Ljónshjarta organisation​​​​

 Ásdís had her talk “Achieve success” for the members of Ljónshjarta organisation. Ásdís talked about goal setting and broke it down well and gave good examples from her own experience. This was a great talk and now we will break down our goals and achieve them.

Erla Björk Gísladóttir
