Say good-bye to boring talks

Kim is known for his incredible way of connecting with people – whether speaking to hundreds of individuals at once, or a one-on-one conversation. His mantra as a leader and a speaker is that he’d rather be “a bit less professional and a bit more personal” in his meetings with people. He leads Brothers and the team with passion, confidence and vulnerability, and his knowledge and drive to empower boys’ and men’s friendships is nothing less than inspiring.

He founded Brothers in 2017, and has since then written two books on the topic of male friendship: The Real Bro Code (2020) and Brothers (2019). His books have been sold in more than 20 countries. You can get his books here

Kim’s use of humor makes the topic, which could otherwise be heavy and challenging, so exciting and incredibly easy to follow!

A moving text message from a young man who attended a talk with Kim

Hey Kim 🙂

When I heard your presentation for the first time last year, it felt like you were holding a machine gun and shooting at me, because every time you said a new sentence, I felt hit.

Much of what you talk about was things I had never thought about before I heard your presentation. In the time after your seminar, I have focused a lot on being honest about my feelings and thinking more about things that happen in life. Previously, I could very easily avoid thinking about what happened, but now I have learned that it’s good to talk and think through both positive and negative things that you experience in everyday life.

What you do is an incredibly important task, and you are helping to change young boys’ perspective on life (I am proof of that). Keep doing what you’re doing, and I hope I see you again sometime 🙂

Good that you asked! Some of the most passionate about Brothers and the topic we specialise on, are women! They know that when the guys have healthy friendships, it will benefit them as well! Women tend to love our presentations just as much as the guys.
