Experiences from people I have worked with.

Founder, Betongpark AS

"During the 15 years Betongpark has existed, we have grown to have 70 employees in Norway, the UK and France. When life puts our employees in almost impossible situations, we know that in many cases only Michel Mateos can find the way. MM has a completely unique mix of experience, positive energy, 100% presence, sharp understanding, love and clear realism. He makes our employees mentally and physically strongest with lasting results. There is "No Detour" and here at MM we have someone who cheers and takes the necessary battles with, against and for you every time. We were the luckiest to find him. "Better call Michel"

Partner, Euro Business School

“Many people can give lectures on so many things. Not everyone can hold their head high and say that they are a person who does what they say, and says what they do – or live up to the well-known concept of “Walk your talk”. Michel has shown through his life and his experiences that he is able to live up to this very concept.

The way he has motivated himself to change is thought-provoking. When you also know how much he has meant to so many people – he can give lectures on motivation, change and joy of life with a rare level of credibility. Book him and you will agree with me.”

Senior Advisor, Kristiania University College

“The students LOVED Michel! ️ It was super successful, and he outdid himself today!

One of the students in the organizing group cried… probably several… when he read one of the poems he had written. He is a poet too!
And what an emotion when he performed it! I wouldn't have thought he had done anything but stand on stage his whole life. And he has to PUBLISH that poem!!! We stood in line to hear if we could get a copy.”

Sales Manager, Odin Management

"A big thank you to you too, this was a pure joy for us 😊 The interaction between the guys was a real 6 in my eyes! Not surprisingly, you really delivered the goods Michel, thank you very much.”

Senior Advisor, Church City Mission

“ Michel Mateos gave an engaging talk at a motivational evening for the Church City Mission. He touches us all with his authenticity, creating faith and hope that change can happen. He gets my highest recommendation.”

Agency Manager at Event.no

“ Wonderfully inspiring and engaging with a strong personality!
Highly recommended!”

National Director, BNI Norway

“Michel is a firework of a person. A commitment, empathy and an empathy of the rarest! He is concerned about everyone's well-being 24/7, and always concerned about how he can help and contribute. I am very happy to have Michel as one of our business partners in the BNI business network. These are some of our fundamental core values!”

Photographer and coach

“Michel is one of the best speakers I have ever experienced – a credible, exciting and educational message… RECOMMENDED – listening to Michel is an enrichment!”

Publisher/editor-in-chief FEELGOOD books

“ Michel is an inspiration of that rare kind. He has a strong presence, is a superb storyteller/entertainer and takes his audience on a journey they rarely forget. He is born to be on stage.”

Owner, Tone Lise Academy

“ Michel has felt in body and soul what it means to live on the “shadow” side.
He manages to share his experience in a way that inspires on many levels, to choose the "right/legal" path.
What Michel has accomplished in his life is worth taking note of. I recommend him as your motivator/inspirator.”

Founder, The Travelers Association

“ With his warmth, enthusiasm, commitment and credibility, Michel Mateos has a unique ability to reach out and strike something very special and recognizable in both young and old from different backgrounds and walks of life. In a completely unique way, he touches something in us and opens the door and creates space for change. He is “whole wood” and generously shares of himself to keep the flame alive. The flame in the fire we are all a part of. He is a Fellow Traveler!”

Filét Design AS

“ Michel is an incredible storyteller – and what he says comes across as thoughtful, honest and humorous. And all with one foot firmly planted in reality. He has a very special ability to captivate the audience he speaks to, and his commitment and energy carry with it a desire for us all to work towards becoming a slightly better version of ourselves every day. If you want someone who creates engagement and thoughtfulness in the audience, then you don't have to look any further – Michel is the man for the job.”

Owner, Animer Animation Studio

“ We had Michel visit us at Animer and it was a very inspired group that went back to work afterwards. Created many new thoughts and reflections on what it means to be the best version of yourself. Thank you for a fantastic lecture.”

Mental trainer, Stein Kvalheim AS

“ If you want the best motivational driver, choose Michel; he is genuine and resourceful in the truest sense of the word – you and your colleagues will remember his lectures. This is not on the surface, it is from soul to soul and it is felt. He is confident like few and his humor is always lurking when he talks about the difficult. I have heard him several times and can put my name to his skills as a speaker and fellow human being. A very good choice!!! (As Michel would have said).”

Owner, 100% Bang Design and Communication

“Michel is deeply inspiring, authentic, very powerful and dares to be vulnerable, honest and close at the same time. Listening to Michel's life experience puts life into perspective.

He shows great courage, strength and ability to develop, and is a living inspiration for others. Moreover, Michel is a very skilled poet and storyteller who touches! I can highly recommend Michel!”
