Our story

this+that started as a contemplation between two friends. “What makes conversation good?” “What makes it bad?” “And where does happiness lie in all of it?”

A conversation between two became a salon of 100, and it was here something unexpected happened.

We've since become interested in developing accessible tools to strengthen communication and deepen social connections, in the workplace and in life.

And the values which underpin our decision making here.

The last participant to arrive was deaf, and heard through a handheld device passed around the group. This change lead to a self-regulated, respectful and more balanced conversation.

It was here we realised the potential of small, but powerful interventions.

We do this with the help of academics in the fields of Organisational Behaviour, Conversation Science and Social Science. Read about our academic partners here.
