Personal Details

Bio

Kim (30) is the CEO and the Founder of Brothers - the leading non-profit dedicated to empowering boys' and men's friendships. He has previously studied leadership for three years and is emerging as a subject matter expert on male friendship. He has published two books: The Real Bro Code (2020) and Brothers (2019). Since he started Brothers, he has done more than 75 speaking engagements in Scandinavia and globally. In February 2023 he was in Kenya and spoke at several schools and in a parison. He was also there to do research. In March 2023 he spoke at California State University Monterey Bay.

Kim's got background as an actor and model, and he's an incredible communicator - both when it comes to small and big audiences. With his incredible stage presence and genuine character, he invites the audience on a journey that always leaves a mark.

Kim's massive passion for the topic of male bonding, as well as all his knowledge and experience, will inspire, challenge and empower whoever is listening - both boys and girls, men and women. 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. When he speaks, he speaks with confidence and vulnerability - and it's nothing less than inspiring. He truly knows how to create an atmosphere of trust.

Kim travels internationally to speak on the topic of male friendships. He has spoken in Scandinavia, Australia, Kenya, USA - to mention some.

Our talks and presentations can be offered in English or in Norwegian.

  • Kim’s presentation changed the culture among the boys at my school. A clear 'before and after effect’! The boys started being more vulnerable with each other which resulted in closer friendships! Thank you!

  • I am SO GLAD we booked you! We’ll book you every year for the next 10 years!
    Folk high school teacher

  • I can with confidence recommend Kim and Brothers! Both the teachers and the students loved the presentation. The topic, male friendships, is very relevant. Kim motivated us and challenged some of the myths and stigmas around the topic of male friendship and masculinity. He’s a very talented speaker, and you can tell that he loves what he’s doing. It shines through him! So to anyone who’re thinking of booking Kim for a speaking job — do not hesitate! He will not disappoint!

  • Simply perfect! I was really surprised when I saw how much the students paid attention. Kim really hit some nerves!
    High school principal
    Verified
  • During the presentation, we didn’t really dare to express how much it hit home. But afterwards, all the boys started talking about it. We all said it really hit home but that it’s really vulnerable. Friendship, you know...

    Verified
  • Right after Kim's talk, I texted one of my mates telling him that I loved him! He replied with: ‘Ehm…are you OK, bro?' I then told him about Brothers and about the presentation, and he loved it and texted me back: 'I love you too, bro!'

  • No one has focused on the guys before. And you’re hitting the nail on the head — no one talks about guys’ friendships, but we really need to.

  • Kim did an incredible presentation at our school. I’ve never seen anyone sell as many books before - which just shows how it really hit home!
