I create movement in people, in rooms and in society. The signature keynote The Move is a talk in the form of a performance, with live coaching and gait readings on stage.
What Kyrre Texnæs offers is so new and so different. But I got it, and every top CEO will get it and ask how they can give this to their management team and their best people.
Thomas Anglero, Nordic Director Innovation, IBM
Keynote
The aha moment happens before the eyes of the room.
I open with movement, before words, and read the room live as we go.
Live coaching: A participant on stage
Live coaching on stage
Participants come up, and the room sees how a small change in the body changes the whole expression.
Gait reading
The way we walk tells how we lead, sell and meet others. I read it, and show how it can be adjusted.
An experience, not an ordinary keynote
The room takes part, not just attends. What they experience stays in the body long after the day is over.
Many events have good talks, artists and entertainment, but each on its own. I help you see the event as a whole, so that art, theme and goal become one experience.
1. The core
Before the event
Sparring on what the participants should leave with. The dramaturgy of the day, and how the artists you have chosen can become part of the theme.
2. The stage
On the day
Coaching of the host and speakers before they go on. Keynote, production or both, delivered by me and the ensemble.
3. The track
After the event
You choose what to keep working on: Sales, leadership development, entrepreneurship, strategy or culture.
Game of the Gap
Productions you can book
As a short piece, an interactive session or a full production.
Samklang (Resonance)
Opening
Movement and sound together. The fastest way to a sense of community, with the room as the choir and the body as the conductor. With one musician, an ensemble or a full orchestra.
In development
Dancing in sync with others increases bonding and raises the pain threshold. Singing together builds closeness faster in new groups.Tarr et al., Oxford, 2016 · Pearce et al., 2015
Signature
Energy
Each participant finds their own movement. Together they become one choreography, stronger because everyone is different.
New hires who got to show what was unique about them stayed longer in the job.Cable, Gino and Staats, 2013

The Distance
Deepening
On contact and presence. How close is close enough, and what happens when we truly see each other?
Eye contact activates the brain's social areas more strongly than looking at a picture of a face.Hirsch et al., Yale, 2017
Used in the workshops for Deichman
Words that move
Deepening
Communication that lands. Words become movement, and movement gives the words power.
When communication succeeds, the listener's brain activity couples with the speaker's.Stephens, Silbert and Hasson, Princeton, 2010

Poems and drinks
Evening
Poems by imprisoned writers performed live, while the drink that carries their story is made on stage. The audience can taste the story afterwards.
Made with Norwegian PEN, which works for freedom of expression and persecuted writers.

Supersensing
Highlight
Intuition and collective intelligence. Sensing what the group needs before anyone has said it.
A group's collective intelligence is linked more to the ability to read each other than to the intelligence of its members.Woolley et al., Science, 2010
In development
The Sticks
Work session
Strategy in motion. How a leadership team quickly gathers around what matters most.
Groups where everyone gets equal speaking time solve tasks better together.Woolley et al., Science, 2010

Arts and cultureThe inner. Who we are and what we feel.
BusinessWhat we do. Action and results.
Community developmentThe system. How we are connected.

1:1 coaching for owners, leaders and creatives who want to keep working on body language, presence and how they move others. A gait reading as the way in, a result you can point to as the goal. Most start with one session and continue in a programme.
