For schools
Igor Ardoris became well-known throughout Sweden for his role as one of the “super educators” in the acclaimed TV series Klass 9A. Since then, he has been engaged by numerous schools across the country to train and inspire teachers. With a wealth of knowledge, warmth, and a sprinkle of humour, Igor guides staff towards clear goals, fresh inspiration, and a healthier work environment.
His principles are practical, straightforward, and based on real-world experience, focusing on how to enhance communication in the workplace, organise daily routines to boost morale and reduce stress among staff, and develop collaborative practices that simultaneously elevate teachers’ energy and improve goal achievement. Additionally, Igor provides individual coaching for team leaders on how to effectively support and uplift their staff, creating a school environment where both students and teachers can thrive, grow and develop.
A one day Leadership Resort at Copenhagen Business School: “Power and Presence. Mindful Action for Effective Results”
Igor Ardoris and Jeremy Hunter from Peter Drucker School of Business hosted a one day Leadership Retreat at Copenhagen Business School (CBS). Invited were CBS executive MBA and master students and alumni communities. Thus, leaders and managers who are daily involved in leadership dilemmas and demanding decision making processes in both private and public, Danish as well as international companies.
There is no doubt that this programme was an eye opening and extremely useful experience to the participants. On a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being best) more than 80 % rated the retreat above 8 and none below 7. The most valuable take away was unanimously described as: The body exercises, the experience of a body and mind connection, the examples and insights into how to begin to train control in situations of pressure, the balance between theory and practice was excellent as was the instructors. One of the participants remarked: “I have heard about this before but never created enough motivation to actually do it – I WILL now!”
Thanks Igor & Jeremy – it was a great day!
For more than two years I have been working with Igor in the project „Change your Mindset“ at the THM University of Applied Sciences and I am very grateful to have had this opportunity. The project mainly aimes at offering Mental Training to first year students with the aim to strengthen their self-responsibility in the learning process and to improve their self-regulation skills.To be able to provide Mental Training to the students we, as teachers, learned Igor´s theoretical approach, focusing and relaxation techniques, and experienced different exercises in two workshops.
Igor´s unique manner to teach created a very personal and open atmosphere amongst the participants. Furthermore I found Igor extremely supportive and always accessible for what question ever I had in between the workshops.The student´s feedback to the Mental Training Course I offered to the first year students of the THM Business School was extremely positive. They claimed to have learned more efficiently and effectively by being more focused when learning. By using relaxation techniques they were able to reduce their stress level before and during exams. Some students even mentioned positive effects on their general health and well-being.Given that feedback I continue offering this course to our first year students regularly.
What has made the project very special for me personally was that I felt inspired to teach in a different way in all my other courses of the Bachelor and Master Programm including focusing and relaxation exercises at the beginning of each class. This does make a big change for me as well as for the students.
