Why a Hot Air Balloon Defines Our Brand
Intercultural work is about rising into the unknown, letting go of what no longer serves, and learning to move with people whose worlds may feel unfamiliar. Like a hot air balloon lifting gently at dawn, this work requires awareness, timing, and trust in forces we can’t fully control.
To rise, we must release ballast, our assumptions, habits, and the need for certainty. We learn to read the winds of human interaction: the unspoken cues, the subtle shifts, the emotional weather. And we do all of this not from behind thick walls, but from an open wicker basket, fully present, exposed, and connected.
Our brand image isn’t decorative. It’s a living metaphor for how we work:
how to navigate differences with lightness, presence, and skill.
This same approach also shapes how we analyse challenges and design our services.
Our work goes beyond surface-level training or consultancy. Drawing on warranted intercultural counselling practice, schema-informed principles, and reflective organisational analysis, we identify the underlying cultural, relational, and structural patterns that shape how people work together. This allows us to design focused, ethical, and sustainable interventions that align individuals, teams, and organisational purpose.
Welcome to our comprehensive suite of services, meticulously designed to elevate your success in today's diverse global landscape.
Our offerings are built on three pillars:
Intercultural Consultancy & Strategic Analysis
We provide intercultural consultancy and analytical services for companies, individual service providers, NGOs, and educational institutions working across diverse cultural and professional contexts. Our work involves systematic analysis of cultural, relational, and structural dynamics affecting communication, decision-making, collaboration, and organisational effectiveness, translating complex findings into coherent, context-appropriate strategic guidance.
Intercultural Training & Reflective Mentoring
Our training and mentoring services are grounded in reflective practice and real-world application, supporting individuals and teams in developing sustainable intercultural competence. Through targeted programmes and personalised mentoring, we strengthen awareness, responsibility, and professional confidence, enabling more effective engagement, collaboration, and leadership in complex global environments.
Corporate & Individual Intercultural Counselling
We offer warranted intercultural counselling services for individuals and organisations navigating complex cultural, relational, and professional challenges.
Our work is ethically grounded and informed by schema-informed counselling principles and an Adlerian intercultural perspective. Schemas can be understood as deeply held patterns of meaning and expectation that shape how people interpret situations, relate to others, and respond under pressure.
In intercultural and organisational contexts, unexamined schemas often intensify misunderstanding, conflict, and disengagement. By working at this level, we support insight, responsibility, and constructive adjustment, while respecting professional boundaries and organisational realities.
