Achieve Success

Here is what others had to say about Achieve Success

“I highly recommend the talk "Achieve Success"! A truly valuable session on goal setting and strategies for achieving your goals. The elite athlete Ásdís shares in a very personal and engaging way how she used the methods she teaches, in real life, while she was at the peak of her athletic career and simultaneously completing a PhD.

"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 tournaments, 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.”
