KRISTINA SCHOU MADSEN

There are professional runners. There are extreme runners. And then there is Kristina Schou Madsen. Step into the extreme as Kristina invites you into her world of ultra-running.

Kristina pushes the limits of human performance in the most extreme places on Earth: deserts, jungles, mountain peaks, and the Arctic. And she is one of the absolute best in the global pool of ultra-runners, having set several records and winning competitions worldwide.

Kristina is a firm believer in setting the bar high. Her story about running 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 continents will amaze you. She brings a rare perspective on mental toughness, clarity under pressure, and goal-setting when the finish line feels out of sight.

The mindset of an ultra-runner translates directly into many aspects of personal and professional life. You’ll see – buckle up for world-class inspiration!

mARTIN langagergaard

Did you ever wish you could adopt the mindset of international top athletes and special agents? Of course you did. But what if you got the chance to dig even deeper, picking the brain of the person training those mindsets? You're in luck!

Martin Langagergaard is the performance psychologist trusted by elite sports teams and Special Forces units for over 20 years. His work revolves around key terms such as inclusiveness, decency, and humility.

Professional, high-performance teams are under immense pressure. To succeed as a team, every team member must master conflicts, be relation-oriented, and be able to both challenge and support other team members.

It’s in the optimum co-existence of individuality and community that a team wins. And in the awareness of not just the game itself, but the entire process: preparation, performance, evaluation, and rest.

You’re in for an inspirational talk worthy of gold medalists and super agents!
