How we do it

We teach transferable skills through improvisational techniques and exercises. Our method is based on experiential learning, engaging each participant to recognize their individual capabilities and empowering them to unlock their full potential.

Co-teaching is an essential part of our methodological approach, as it allows us to better observe the participants during the exercises and give them individual feedback. This way, we can also fully leverage our complementary professional backgrounds and teaching styles.

Through co-creative debriefs, we enable all voices to be heard, allowing a maximum of transferability. Our offers are always customized and grounded in the latest research.

Without trust, interactions remain shallow, synergies are blocked and people disengage.

Trust is like a catalyst.
It enables teams to perform effortlessly and move faster.

Lasting trust is mutual.
To be trusted, you need to start trusting.

That’s us
