About
Why we are here
Our purpose
Trust is the ultimate human currency. We’re here to help organisations, teams and leaders build, expand or restore it.
The Story
Our origins lie in event hosting. Amid the Arab Spring in 2011, our inaugural project involved the coordination and moderation of a public dialogue in the heart of Cairo, Egypt. In a country marked by disillusionment, division, and despair, people from all walks of life learned about South Africa’s transition to democracy and the tireless efforts of the Truth & Reconciliation Committee.
For founder Bart Burghgraef, this event proved to be transformative. Drawing from this experience and captivated by the process of building trust among people, he further developed expertise in human behaviour and organisational change. An existential medical setback in 2013 served as a catalyst, deepening his commitment to assisting organizations globally in cultivating trust and psychological safety.
Today, boasting a global presence and a strong foothold in the Middle East, we have established a reputation for delivering engaging, high-impact programs to clients in sectors such as Finance & Technology, FMCG, governments and diplomatic missions.
"Trust is the fertile soil where relationships bloom, teams thrive, and innovation flourishes. It nurtures authenticity, embraces vulnerability, and fuels the courageous exploration of new ideas."
