About

our purpose

Trust is the ultimate human currency. We’re here to help organisations, teams and leaders build, expand or restore it. 

We believe that trust and psychological safety are the foundations of exceptional teamwork and leadership. Our mission is to help professionals and teams unlock their potential by fostering environments where people feel safe to communicate openly, take risks, and grow together. We are committed to transforming the way teams connect and collaborate, leading to stronger relationships, increased innovation, and lasting success.

Our origins are rooted in event hosting. In 2011, during the Arab Spring, we undertook our inaugural project: coordinating and moderating a public dialogue in Cairo, Egypt. In a time of disillusionment and division, the event brought together people from diverse backgrounds to learn about South Africa’s transition to democracy and the efforts of the Truth & Reconciliation Commission.

For founder Bart Burghgraef, this event was transformative. It sparked his passion for building trust and understanding among people. Following this experience, he deepened his expertise in psychological safety and culture change. An existential medical setback in 2013 further solidified his commitment to helping organisations worldwide foster trust and psychological safety in leadership.

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 ground where relationships flourish, teams thrive, and innovation takes root. It nurtures authenticity, welcomes vulnerability, and inspires bold exploration of new ideas."
