In October and November of this year, Nauris Svika conducted a course for our team titled "Inspiring Leadership Based on MC Principles." We were highly satisfied with the collaboration—both during the preparation phase, where Nauris quickly understood our needs, and during the training sessions, where he adapted to the situation and chose the most suitable approaches. He provided excellent examples to present the topics in an engaging way. Our team particularly enjoyed the practical exercises, which made the training material easy to grasp, demonstrated its practical application, and highlighted its value in real-world scenarios. One of the standout moments was the role-playing exercise on the second day, where we explored various scenarios. Additionally, the MC principles provided a solid structure that we could apply in our daily work with our teams to achieve set goals.

During the "game" process—though I would describe it more as a training program rather than a game—participants' perception of their environment changes, and it truly feels like everything happening is real. As a company leader, it was both fascinating and valuable to observe how differently employees react to various situations. Nauris's program significantly helped those individuals aiming for leadership positions to finally take meaningful steps forward.

A meaningful, well-structured training with real added value. The trainer, highly experienced, wise, and charismatic, demonstrated an exceptional ability to connect with both the team as a whole and each individual member. This training left a lasting impression, and we will continue to talk about it for a long time—each of us experienced it both on a personal level and as a team. If you're looking for a truly impactful training for your team, this was exactly that, and Nauris, together with his team, delivered it exceptionally (professionally). Thank you!

The program positively challenged us to work in several important directions:
-We got to know each other better through teamwork, appreciating our colleagues' diversity and striving to use it to achieve common goals.
-We openly shared ideas and discussed topics that often get overlooked in the rush of a regular workday.
-We stepped out of our comfort zones, thought outside the box, challenged ourselves, and celebrated both victories and mistakes.
-We learned to be better leaders through practical tasks, shared experiences, and valuable insights.
-We realized that a clear goal, shared understanding, and a professional team are the keys to strength and achieving results.
-We gained positive emotions, inspiration, and confidence in our team's potential.
-We took away ideas, insights, plans, and tasks, as we are ready to apply what we learned in our daily work and share it with our teams.
But most importantly—we established traditions, our team's unique traditions, which give us motivation, strength, and unity!

I have participated in five of Nauris's programs. Nearly 11 years have passed since the first one, yet I still vividly remember the impressions and skills I gained. Each time, Nauris introduces a new scenario. It has never been boring. The tasks provide an opportunity to see colleagues, with whom we spend so much time in the office, from a completely different perspective. Subtle aspects are revealed that aren’t visible in regular work settings. During the program, you quickly realize that victory is only possible as a team (no one fights alone). The programs are always organized in beautiful locations, in perfect harmony with nature.

I want to express my gratitude to Nauris for his outstanding work in strengthening our team. I’d like to highlight that we’ve collaborated both in Sales Team Training and in the Leadership Team Development Program. Since evaluation is best done through comparison, I’ll delve into two distinct processes in more detail.
Work with Sales and Cross-Functional Teams
Compared to other experiences, the key difference in collaborating with Nauris lies in the fact that each program is a meticulously planned adventure with a clear goal that the team can achieve by working together. I’ve come to realize that a team strengthens only when it aligns on common goals and everyone is engaged. Nauris’s approach and events develop precisely in this spirit. The tasks, exercises, and revelations are never repetitive, which is a refreshing contrast to other experiences.
Work with Leadership Teams
Nauris accomplished the “impossible.” Motivation levels soared above 100%, and personal involvement and commitment allowed us, as a team, to achieve the unachievable. This was even reflected in our willingness to sprint uphill after 20 hours of grueling, event-filled tasks, carrying both equipment and our own bodies! The way the program was planned and executed is unforgettable—there wasn’t a single moment where we could predict what would happen next or what the outcome would be!
I doubt that these few words can fully convey how Nauris operates, but I know this: when I need a team program, I turn to Nauris. In conclusion, Nauris has the remarkable ability to bring out the best leadership and teamwork qualities in each of us, and that is unforgettable. Thank you!

Nauris, we hit the bullseye by choosing to collaborate with you. Several months have passed since the training day, yet I still hear references to what we experienced back then. Our company has an amazing Environment and Occupational Safety Department, and your approach was exactly what we needed. Both our firefighters and office staff truly appreciated it and are applying it in their work. Thank you!

Having known Nauris for 10 years, I can confidently say that he is a highly respectable individual—strong, intelligent, courageous, and always a pleasure to collaborate with. Nauris embodies qualities such as honor and respect. He is a true leader who communicates politely and effectively, ensuring that no disrespectful behavior is tolerated, whether from himself or program participants. He possesses an inner strength and firmness that inspires unwavering confidence.

Evolution Gaming, QA manager
Our entire team was extremely satisfied with Nauris's work. I would particularly like to highlight the following points:
1. Excellent Preparation Level
Nauris demonstrated a very thorough, deep, and attentive approach to understanding our situation. He asked numerous questions to clearly understand what we needed. The most surprising part was that the creative process didn’t end after the program was designed. During the program itself, Nauris remembered our discussions, came up with new opportunities, and offered multiple options to adapt to the situation. This was definitely not a template approach but an individualized focus on our problems and needs.
2. Serious Preparation
The location was thoroughly examined before our team arrived. All routes were tested, and potential risks were assessed.
3. Punctuality
Deadlines were always met, and everything happened on time.
4. Creativity
During the collaboration, we generated many new ideas to test various human qualities. Nauris immediately developed solutions and even new exercises to address them. Moreover, it wasn’t just one solution but 2-3 alternatives for us to review and adapt to our exact needs. For example, when we said, "We want to test participants' intuition," Nauris responded, "We could do the following…" Or when we said, "We’d like to create stress in this scenario to see how they interact," he replied, "Understood, I’ll give them a real briefing and gradually initiate the task…”
We are very pleased with our collaboration with Nauris and look forward to working together in the future!

Although some colleagues were initially skeptical about the team-building event in our institution, by the end, everyone found something valuable for themselves. Some got to know their colleagues better, others used their analytical thinking to help teammates complete tasks more effectively, while the leader had the chance to discover previously unnoticed and underappreciated talents among the staff. Nauris had chosen tasks that were perfectly suited for us, driving us persistently towards the goal—even when the timeframe for one of the tasks seemed unrealistic. Throughout the day, we gained a lot of positive impressions and emotions while reinforcing our belief that we are a united foresters’ family.

Even at home yesterday, we kept sharing our experiences, tasks, solutions, and the life lessons we gained. It was truly amazing! I feel like everything—the location, you, the weather, and our team—came together as the perfect combination at the right time. The gray landscape surrounding us became one of the driving forces to act, think, and spark ideas! Your practical experience will serve as inspiration for a long time to come. We are still immersed in the feelings from yesterday... Thank you!
