Our philosophy

“Master your instrument. Master your music. And then forget all that s**t and just play.”

Charlie Parker (influential jazz saxophonist)

We are no orchestra. There is no set script. We have learned the rules just to be better equipped to react and adapt to the present moment.

The music drives us and we drive the music. It's the ''music'' of individuals, team or organisations - in or out of tune.

Our mission is to restore ''harmony'' and make great ''music'' by collaborating with our clients and participants, as well as ''improvising'' together.

We support and empower people to grow, shape and re-shape themselves, their teams and organisations.

We are all works-in-progress.

FAQs

Why should I choose your training services?

Maybe because we are:
ADAPTABLE - We design the training content based on the reality of your team / organisation.
SOLUTION-FOCUSED - We have a positive approach, building on what currently works.
CURIOUS AND RESTLESS - We continuously explore new tools and methodologies.
TOUGH (BUT GENTLE) - We ask the hard, thought-provoking questions that you are afraid to think about.

Also because we believe in autonomy, which is why we offer TOOLBOXES, NOT FIXED RECIPES. We encourage our participants to practice the models, master the ''rules'', but then tweak them according to their reality.
And because we practice GAME-BASED & EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING. Play and direct experience are our brain's favourite ways of learning.

Do you deliver online/virtual training sessions?

Yes. See details below.

Are your online/virtual trainings like webinars?

No, they are nothing like webinars. They are an interactive learning experience.
We took our time to learn new tools. We tested different approaches. We made them work.
We ended up with the same quality standards, the same level of interactivity as in one of our in-person trainings.
We make it interactive (via ZOOM or Microsoft Teams) and video ''on'' is mandatory. We work visually (with Mural, a digital workspace for visual collaboration, a digital whiteboard, if you like).
