Testimonials

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!


Igor just happened to have a well developed talent to reach you, and he just might have a few suggestions or tips on how to develop yourself. At the end of the day, we were exhausted by being exposed to our egos, but Igor looked like he could go on forever. He kept our attention with his ernergic way of elaborating on personal issues in an understandable manner, and by pinpointing his theory by good examples and his own experience. The feedback from the team is without exception -extraordinary. Prepared and ready to adapt to the audience I would say, is Igor’s trademark. He is willing to listen, he is able to understand, and he is willing to share of his experience to help you reach your goals. I feel lucky to have met Igor, even only as a team member. I am so grateful that he put all my doubts to shame, and made the MOTIVATION DAY everything but a cliché. I would recommend everyone who thinks he might have the possibility or need to improve his ways, and have the change, to expose himself to Igor. Now I know…you won’t regret it.


It is only now that I really see the difference and I strongly believe in daily training just like in golf. It is not only possible to talk yourself into mental strength, but it is something we must work on in daily life. And the mental training with Igor has not only helped me tremendously on the golf course but also in my daily meetings and adventures..

We wanted to see a continuous thread through the two days and he was very sensitive to that. He came in good time to the conference and he listened to one of our internal lecturers who spoke before him. Igor managed to change a little of his PowerPoint presentation just before his lecture to link to what we just listened to and connect it to the internal lecturer before him. It was professional! ”Igor talked about mental training and personal responsibility but at a much more advanced level than other lecturers. The participants who worked a lot on these issues appreciated Igor’s lecture extraordinarily since it gave more dimension and depth to the subject.
Igor was also amusing, singing upon entering the stage, using good body language and with a twinkle in his eye. He managed to deliver some personal keys to each and every one regarding personal responsibilities.”


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.
