If you are looking for an inspiring and entertaining talk on how we can become the best version of ourselves and increase our productivity through goal setting, a positive mindset, and good overall health, then the talk Achieve Success is for you.
In the talk, I share my experiences and the methods I used to reach three Olympic Games and complete a PhD simultaneously. I specifically address how your team can apply these methods in their own lives to excel and achieve greater success. Included is a workbook that provides support to put what we discuss into practice. The talk lasts about one hour.
I also offer the Achieve Success workshop where I not only talk about these methods but also teach your team exactly how they can apply them. The focus is on goal setting, and together we create a future vision and set goals in a structured way to get there. Participants actively engage, and the workshop lasts about two hours.

I wholeheartedly recommend Ásdís's talk "Achieve Success", which she delivered to KPMG staff as part of Lífshlaupið. Ásdís covered goal setting, mindset, and success, and connected the material so well to her own experiences that it gave you goosebumps. She is a powerful and entertaining speaker who effectively involves the audience. The staff was very pleased with the talk, and I'm sure she inspired many of us to set clear and measurable goals for the future. Thank you very much.

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.

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

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!

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.
