Lectures

Malmö City Properties held a Health Day in May 2024, focusing on inclusion, relationships, employee engagement, and personal responsibility. This is where Igor Adoris came in, using humorous and practical exercises to engage and inspire us, the 180 participants.

He did this brilliantly and with a twinkle in his eye, focusing on what is needed for us to consistently show our best sides and how we can help each other achieve the same. A mix of theory, concrete examples, and exercises contributed to an incredible atmosphere where no one was left untouched.

In our evaluation form for the day, the majority of the participants who responded highlighted that the best part of the day was Igor’s presentation. Many emphasized that this was exactly the focus and learning we needed, especially at a time when there is a lot happening in the organization and the atmosphere can sometimes feel overwhelming.

Through Igor’s presentation, we gained insights into theories that helped us understand how our brains work and how we can actively train them to better handle negative thoughts, situations, and people. We learned how we can collectively create well-functioning, positive teams that bring out the best in us.

Igor masterfully combines seriousness with humorous elements, making the topic relevant and motivating. During the presentation, we found ourselves nodding in agreement with everything he said and could easily relate it to our own everyday experiences.

We allowed our actors and our administration to meet Igor during a two-hour lecture on Employee Engagement, Focus, and Performance. It was a success. Igor’s lecture was calm, methodical, practical, and engaging. Expressing one’s desire for feedback and interaction in a professional manner is crucial in a creative job like ours. It also means expressing trust in one’s colleagues, which creates a forward-looking, solution-oriented work environment. The fact that Igor also had acting talent was an added bonus that made a strong impression during the lecture!

I got to know Igor when I attended step 2 as a mindfulness instructor. There, he presented his program ‘Mindfulness in Difficult Situations,’ and we got to try all the exercises. These techniques are very useful for our patient groups. In psychiatry, we encounter much psychological as well as physical suffering. It is often a tough and challenging task to help and guide patients, and mindfulness can be one of several tools in that process. I contacted Igor to spread mindfulness to the entire staff and to gain concrete tools for those working with mindfulness in their treatments.

The afternoon was greatly appreciated; attendees found it very rewarding and informative. Some were surprised by the obvious connection between mind and body during the exercises. Igor is a natural talent, humble, and has the ability to engage the audience from the very first moment.

When I hire speakers for a conference, I am particularly focused on combining individual development with collective learning. This requires that the speaker is attuned to the relevant challenges facing the organization and delivers them in an engaging and intuitive way that sparks curiosity and leads to insight.

Igor excels at this. His clearly humanistic approach, seasoned with just the right amount of humor, creates an immediate connection with the audience. Igor skillfully navigates through several challenging topics, all of which relate to our ability to manage performance and focus both at work and in our personal lives.

I will not hesitate to seize the opportunity to collaborate with Igor again when the chance arises, and I warmly recommend others to do the same.

Mindful presence and stress management were the themes of the lecture we engaged Igor for at the communications team at Region Skåne. Igor captivated us from the start by encouraging everyone to reflect on their own stress issues in the workplace. The examples discussed included how we can perform at a high level when the conditions are unclear, when expectations exceed our delivery capabilities, or when there is a need for tools to be more present in the moment.

Igor then tailored his presentation to our examples, making us feel like we received a completely customized lecture based on our needs. This approach, along with Igor being an incredibly skilled speaker, kept interest and motivation high throughout the afternoon.

Igor also demonstrated his expertise and experience as a presenter by balancing pure theory about how humans function with practical mindfulness exercises and opportunities for personal reflection for the audience. The feedback from attendees was very positive and even led to spontaneous discussions and reflections afterward. We greatly valued that Igor was so concrete, providing us with tools and perspectives that we can directly implement in practice.

Igor managed to captivate the audience—comprising over 80 staff members from the Malmö and Ystad probation services—in an inspiring and charismatic way while also being entertaining. The lecture was interspersed with exercises and demonstrations involving the audience.

A big thank you from me and the staff at the Malmö and Ystad probation services for a very interesting and rewarding presentation. It was a thought-provoking and enjoyable Friday afternoon that left us with positive feelings!

We hired Igor for a lecture at our staff kick-off. The theme of the lecture was physical and mental training, serving as a dynamic start to the health topics we have planned for the year. Igor delivered a fantastic presentation that was entirely based on our questions and thoughts about the subject. We took home many useful and simple tools that we use both in our work and during training sessions. Igor exudes an energy and calmness that immediately engaged the audience. The fact that he left his computer off and only used a whiteboard and flip chart made the experience even better!

The lecture was several weeks ago, but we are still riding the ‘Igor wave’ and often refer back to his presentation. I can warmly recommend Igor if you want to bring inspiration, joy, and renewed energy to your workgroup, as he wonderfully captures everyone’s attention, regardless of age, gender, or athletic background. Thank you, Igor!

Meritmind is a leading consulting company in the finance sector. As employees, we are always expected to perform at our best, regardless of our own motivation or the state of our surroundings. Based on our questions, Igor delivered an interactive lecture that provided us with valuable insights into events and choices, as well as concrete tools to use in our everyday lives as professionals and individuals. It was a fantastic use of our time! As one colleague put it, “It has been a long time since I was 100% present for over two hours straight!”

Igor spoke about bringing out the best in oneself and others, and throughout the lecture, it was clear that he spoke with great expertise on the subject. It was a lecture that provoked thought and provided new insights. The final exercise on focusing attention was exactly what was needed to forget all worries in an otherwise quite stressful life as a student.

Igor successfully captured the attention of 50 Scandinavian nurses as the final point during a two-day symposium. He lectured on how to motivate patients with chronic illnesses.

Igor’s responsiveness to questions and his adaptability to the emerging needs of the participants led to practical advice and suggestions. In the evaluation of the symposium, Igor’s presentation was highly appreciated, and we as organizers can warmly recommend him.

Igor Ardoris I saw teaching the first time at a congress in Beijing starting one day after end of Olympic Games in 2008. I was fascinated by his teaching and invited him to an International Congress of Mental Techniques for Coaching in Sport, Business and Performing Arts in Heidelberg. Since that Igor Ardoris was invited all 3 congresses I organized about this topic. More than 100 international experts among them some of the most well-known names in International field are teaching at each of such congresses. At two of the three congresses Igor Ardoris had the best evaluated workshop of all speakers. At the last congress 2017 with 1500 participants his two workshops have been on place Nr.1 and Nr. 4 in the feedback list!!! He is teaching with heart and brain.

I want to thank you for a very inspiring lecture, and the 12 nurses are still thrilled about that day. I booked your lecture based on the following arguments:

“How can I, as a nurse, positively influence my work environment during my shifts?”
“How can I maintain my calm in a stressful situation?” 7/11 method
“Guiding new colleagues who are soon leaving… we gained tools to change this perspective.”
“Tools for communicating directly and clearly.”
“We are working from complaints to requests.”

Working in an emergency department that is experiencing a crisis due to many resignations is extremely stressful from two perspectives: having to take extra shifts to cover vacancies and losing a colleague. After Igor’s lecture, a sense of calm emerged as we were reminded that we need to embrace our recovery in order to get through the crisis.

The youth coordinator and youth leaders in the association want to thank Igor Ardoris for a very rewarding and well-executed training in Mindfulness mental training. All the leaders found it very interesting to listen to Igor. They gained new and different perspectives on mental training and leadership, applicable in personal life, work, and sports. He is a highly skilled speaker, and the two hours felt like just 10 minutes. Thank you so much!!

The Rookies (first year professionals) on the Ladies European Tour met with Igor during the LET event in Sweden. Igor is very knowledgable, professional, calm, inspirational and a good communicator. It is motivating to listen to him and we learned a lot from Igor and his mental coaching and also from his way of communicating and presenting a subject. The Rookies thought it was a very useful session and we hope we get the opportunity to work more with Igor in the future.
