On stage
“I believe in the future it will be seen as unprofessional to be too professional.”
Niklas, in his TEDx talk “The Modern Specialist”
Board members, CMOs, small-business owners and public sector executives get the same thing: practical social media tactics, told with real examples and a lot of laughs.
At the Swedish Web Days (“Webbdagarna”) he was rated number 1 out of 75 speakers.

Inside his classes
Assigned viewing
“Define yourself in terms of who you serve, not in terms of what you do.”
In “The Modern Specialist” at TEDxMissionViejo, Niklas makes the case for being a mile wide and almost a mile deep. Along the way he admits he once held a world record for drinking soda through the longest straw.
His second TEDx talk, from UmeåWhat the people who booked him say
“Thank you, thank you, thank you. You did a marvelous job at our Thursday evening presentation. I am wondering if you missed your true calling and really should be the President of Sweden instead of a university professor!”
“Niklas Myhr is one of the really top speakers on social media and the digital transformation in business and society that we have in Sweden. He is very receptive to the needs that the audience has and he also has a great presence on stage so I really recommend Niklas to any conference that would like to dig into the digital opportunities even more.”
“Niklas Myhr is the best social media professor to ever walk the planet!”
