Fredrik is the only talk show host in Scandinaviato have been awarded the Norwegian TV´s Golden Chalice prize and Swedish TV´s Chrystal prize --- for the best male talk show host and the best entertainment programme in both countries. The talk show “Skavlan” is a joint effort for Friday prime time where Sweden´s and Norway´s biggest TV channels, the non-commercial Swedish Television (SVT) and the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) have come together for the first time ever for a joint programme of this type. “Skavlan” is in fact a natural continuation of Fredrik´s nine year long success story “First and Last” – an entertaining but also serious talk show. Well known and lesser known guests from the worlds of politics, culture, science, entertainment, society and sport come together to talk in front of a live audience in the studio with up to 3 million viewers at home. With a liberal seasoning of non-Scandinavian guests, Fredrik is just at home in English as in his native Norwegian. | |

| “Good communication is more about what you don´t do rather than what you do do” says Fredrik Skavlan in his lecture. Reassurance and presence are Fredrik´s most important assets, together with an ability to give priority to the situation and the moment in hand, rather than inserting his own personality. Can any of Skavlan´s communications techniques be relevant in your own day-to-day situation? | |
