Lectures:

Tore likes positive headwind and to climb uphill where goals can be defined.

In his lectures, he focuses on motivation, goal, team work and achievement.

In the above-mentioned topics he angles this into his own experiences and shows how everyone can recognize themselves and take advantage of what he conveys.

Always see the possibilities and not limitations.

Now 61 years old, he is a living example that age is no limit if one wants to live up to ones goals and dreams. He feels that if he can be an inspiration for others, much of what he stands for will be achieved.
