Biography
Erik Bertrand Larssen is a performance consultant who energizes people to think
differently, embrace what he calls “emotional contrasts,” and make small adjustments to
their daily actions to experience a successful career and happier life. He is the creator of
The Bertrand Method.
Central to the Bertrand Method is that even subtle shifts can create big changes in your
life that become habits for success. He believes that change is achievable and more
possible than people imagine.
Growing up in Norway, Erik was always the smallest kid in the class. He was bullied by
his peers. At 12 years old, after having been targeted in an excessive round of “dynking,”
when kids push snow up your clothes, Erik left the schoolyard, went home, and decided
enough was enough. He was determined to one day become the toughest, bravest person
in Norway – and that to him was a Norwegian paratrooper.
Six years later, Erik began his career as an officer in the Norwegian military. After
completing the legendary “Hell Week” for the second time, Erik was selected for the
paratroopers in the Norwegian army. He has served in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Kosovo, and
Macedonia as part of NATO operations with elite troops such as the British Special Air
Service.
Erik holds a Master’s Degree in business economics. After leaving the military, he
worked in the telecom industry, moved into headhunting and then started mental and
career coaching on the side. Today, Erik is the number one mental trainer in Norway with
clients ranging from business executives to Olympic athletes. His international clients
include Microsoft, the Boston Consulting Group and Statoil, the largest oil company in
Norway.
Erik has trained world ranked golf champion Suzann Pettersen, Olympic medalist and World
Cup champion skier Martin Johnsrud Sundby, Norway National Football Team player,
Joshua King, and the Norwegian Olympic cross country ski team, among other notable
athletes.

Erik is also the best-selling author of No Mercy and Hell Week that have sold more than
250,000 copies and have been translated into twelve languages around the world. Simon and
Schuster will publish Erik’s first book in the United States in 2016.
In 2015, TV3 Norway launched the reality documentary series, Bertrand’s Method with Erik
as the host. On the show, Erik helps regular people turn their lives around and reach goals
that they never thought were possible.
Erik, the father of four and married to Louise Mohn Larssen, travels between his hometown
of Oslo in Norway and New York City.
