Our activities
We develop training and development projects based on the needs of individuals and organisations, aiming to achieve tangible behavioral outcomes.
We help in cultivating leadership competencies for managers across all levels. For those new to leadership roles, we aid in fostering fundamental leadership skills and key attitudes for leading teams and individual employees. For advanced managers, our programmes strengthen the more subtle aspects of leadership - such as providing constructive feedback while maintaining positive relationships with employees, promoting an environment of empowerment and accountability among team members, navigating teams through periods of change, and nurturing employee initiative and engagement.
We encourage managers to develop their competencies systematically by participating in long-term leadership development programmes tailored to both their individual needs and the organization's objectives. Such approach helps organisations build strong leadership teams.
Recognizing that an organization's strength lies in its leadership team, we support their growth by facilitating strategic sessions and navigating challenging discussions aimed at charting the course forward.
In today's organisational environment, collaboration comes in many shapes and forms, and traditional teamwork is just one of them. We assist individuals working together to determine the most effective means of collaboration, agreeing on priorities specific to their situation - including defining common goals, fostering engagement, alignment, and maximizing synergy.
Regardless of your team's size or the duration of collaboration, whether working remotely or in person, we provide a comprehensive range of opportunities to enhance collaboration. These range from brief calibration sessions and experiential team-building seminars to facilitating challenging conversations among team members. This is particularly beneficial when addressing conflicts, adapting to new team structures, or navigating through challenging periods. For international teams, we offer a deeper dive into the topic of intercultural cooperation and learning.
No matter how big is your team, how long you've been collaborating, whether you work remotely or in person, we offer a full scope of possibilities to strengthen collaboration. From brief calibration sessions, experiential team-building activities, to moderating complex team situations when communication is not flowing well, when adapting to a new team structure, or when it's necessary to make sense of and recover from a tough period. For international teams, we offer in-depth exploration of intercultural collaboration and learning in order to enhance to create more synergy of your cooperation
Creating an adaptive organisation where people want to work is no easy task for any manager or HR professional. To help you navigate this process effectively, we provide knowledge and tools to identify your organisation's culture and determine the necessary direction for change. This is achieved through our leadership team training programmes and accompanying sessions in long-term projects aimed at shaping and implementing the organisation's culture and values.
We offer training designed to enhance employee engagement, encourage initiative, promote diversity within the organisation, and improve communication between different departments. For organisations constantly evolving and requiring a culture that responds swiftly to change, we can share a methodology for self-regulating organisations.
Learning is an integral part of modern organizations, and we assist educators, organisational trainers, facilitators, and lecturers in helping others learn in a more engaging and holistic manner. We train them to expand their focus and integrate into the learning process what happens within the learner group, understanding the learning principles and needs of their participants.
We design and deliver training programs for individual learning, preparing mentors, internal organisational consultants who help ensure both the induction of new employees and the development of their personal and professional competencies.
We help in implementing mentoring systems within organisations, creating an environment that focuses on individual employee attention, harnesses internal resources, and fosters motivating knowledge exchange.
Our offerings for personal growth are designed to help you work smoothly, meaningfully, and sustainably in your professional life. We provide programmes tailored for professionals and managers, inviting you to examine how you manage your time, tasks, and stress, and to learn strategies for improvement. Personal effectiveness training equips you with tools to understand the causes of stress, tension, or procrastination, while exploring methods to enhance personal resilience, manage attention and energy, and maintain emotional well-being. We place particular emphasis on developing self-awareness, inviting reflection on how you cope with uncertainty, identifying inner resources for managing change, and preventing burnout.
Due to the complexity of their work, social work professionals face a series of challenges, which require continuous development of their competencies in order to overcome them. Both general skills and specialised interdisciplinary knowledge are intensively employed in this field.
We offer accredited programs for social workers and managers of social service institutions. The range of topics and learning formats is extensive, from two-day workshops covering subjects such as gender in social work, working with dependent individuals, empowering individuals, community work, planning professional activities, and social work interventions, to long-term training programs for professionals in the social service field.
One's positive psychological state at work is not solely the concern of the employee but also reflects the organisation's contribution through creating the right environment. One of the crucial elements in fostering such an environment is considering how emotions are managed within the organisation. Our 'emotional wellbeing in organisations' offering aims to empower employees with knowledge about emotional health and provide support during difficult situations.
The goal is to address problems promptly rather than allowing them to escalate, thus preventing burnout or other conditions that may impact work and life. We facilitate team sessions during times of crisis and conduct workshops for employees and managers on emotional health.
We offer training on various aspects of emotional well-being, raise awareness about emotional health, and deliver workshops on related topics.
Training
Counseling and Consultations
In the life of organisations, there are often situations where group or thematic learning formats aren't quite the right fit. When it becomes essential not just to learn, but also to navigate through challenging circumstances, we provide consultation and counseling services. Our consultation and counseling sessions involve working with leaders, specialists, teams, and individuals within the organisation to address their specific questions and dilemmas at work and improve interpersonal relationships.
For professionals working in various fields seeking solutions to stressful or challenging work situations, questions about career choices, or a desire to improve performance at work, individual counselling is ideal. It is particularly beneficial when workloads increase the risk of burnout, maintaining a healthy work-life balance becomes challenging, communication difficulties arise with clients or colleagues, or assistance is needed in navigating organizational changes.
Individual counselling offers personalized attention to address your concerns and help you understand how mindset, habits, fears, or difficult work relationships may be hindering the achievement of your professional goals or enjoyment of your work.
Leadership success depends on strong interpersonal skills, the ability to develop sustainable relationships, and understanding human dynamics. With our individual counseling, we assist managers at all levels and in all fields with people management.
We support aspiring managers in their new roles by helping them understand the attitudes and mindsets required for leadership, how to build teams, and create conditions for accountability and employee autonomy. For managers new to their roles, we help them navigate transitioning from colleague to supervisor and develop a leadership style that suits them.
We provide guidance to experienced managers facing issues such as organisational or team change, where deeper analysis of interpersonal dynamics is needed to determine the most effective solutions. Additionally, we offer support when managers encounter employee resistance to difficult decisions, experience burnout, or seek advice on empowerment and team development.
Team building seminars alone are insufficient for creating a strong team. Sustainable cooperation among individuals requires more than just a single conversation about mutual trust, commitments, and responsibilities. Team counselling and coaching enhance team dynamics and efficiency by enabling team members to clarify expectations, resolve disagreements, and establish common goals. Moreover, it fosters a positive culture of genuine and direct communication. We provide coaching and supervision for newly formed teams, those undergoing periods of change, and those adapting to new organizational structures.
Additionally, we offer individual specialists the opportunity to participate in group supervision and coaching. In our open groups, professionals from specific fields can discuss work challenges, seek solutions to difficult circumstances, address client needs, and analyze complex situations. The outcome of group counselling includes improved work quality, reduced emotional strain, and developed personal and professional competencies.
We invite individual specialists to join group supervisions. In the supervision groups we assemble, experts in specific fields can discuss the particular challenges of their profession, seek solutions to complex situations, explore client needs deeper and address complex situations. The result of group consultation is improved work quality, reduced emotional workload, and the development of personal and professional competencies.
Individual counselling follows a unique educational paradigm and methodology. Our different counsellors can provide counselling based on the following approaches:
Supervision is a form of counseling aimed at ensuring and enhancing the quality of communication and cooperation in professional settings. It is intended for individual professionals, managers within organizations, groups, or teams to reflect on and ensure the quality of their professional performance. Our supervisors' qualifications adhere to the ANSE quality standard.
Gestalt approach. Counselling based on the theory of Gestalt psychotherapy helps people to recognise their needs, the demands of their situation and the habits that limit them.This approach is based on the assumption that people organise their experience by giving it meaning. The habit of giving similar meaning is linked to repetitive behaviour and well-being. The aim of counselling is to identify patterns of behaviour and well-being or the ways in which people damage their lives.
Provocative approach. Humour and provoking emotions are key elements of provocative counselling. Here, by laughing together at existing challenges or dilemmas, the desire and will for constructive change are awakened and the energy for self-help is mobilised. A firm belief in the resourcefulness of the people themselves to make the right choices is an essential stance in provocation (= challenging).
Existential approach. A consultant with an existential phenomenological approach seeks to help people and organisations to understand the ways in which they act in life, the paradoxes and dilemmas that lie within it. By exploring the themes of freedom, choice, responsibility, meaning, opportunities and constraints, it can help individuals and groups to act resiliently and meaningfully in the face of uncertainty and change, and to make decisions that are consistent with their values and needs.
Methodological development and research
Our long-standing work in training and consultancy enables us to systematise and generalise our experience and to transfer it to the development of methodological tools, instruments or publications that serve those working with people, organisations and communities. We help organisations in development of competence frameworks, methodologies to implement them, as well as educational resources for working with individuals or groups.
In addition, we complement training and consultancy with research activities that enhance our understanding of organisational phenomena and realities. We carry out complex long-term projects that combine research, training, consultancy and the development of methodological tools.

Our projects
Experiential programme "Work smarter, not harder" with the TELE2 contact centre management team to explore effective work and collaboration.
During the seminar, the team had to complete a complex task of planning and implementing a hike with various additional challenges.
This process was an active experience for the team, followed by an analysis of how the team collaborated and how they can work and collaborate even more effectively.
The programme helped to strengthen the bond between the team members, to foster open communication and to build trust among them.
A long term leadership and staff development programme designed to strengthen the general competences of staff from the Forum for Christian Social Initiatives member organisations.
In total, the programme has trained 5 groups of participants, more than 20 managers and over 50 employees. The duration of the programme is 52 hours per each group, spread over 4 months.
It is a unique programme with a generic competence model and a series of practical experiential reflective training for employees and managers. The programme has led to a significant strengthening of the general competences of employees and managers, which in turn has led to a more precise, strong, courageous and flexible expression of professional competences.
Supervision of the organization.
Format: four two-day meetings per year. The project has been ongoing for 6 years. During this time, a new team has been formed, a new management body of the organisation has been established, consisting of department heads. Conflicts and tensions have been resolved, and leaders have learned to communicate openly and work more effectively. Responsibilities have been divided, the strategy is constantly reviewed, and values and work principles are formulated.
All of this has accompanied the inevitable expansion of the organisation. The organisation has strengthened financially, gained more credibility in the public space, acquired land near the sea for summer camps, tripled its activities, and created new services.
On September 1, 2023, the organization opens its private school.
The working language is Russian.
Team calibration sessions for the company's leadership team for the fourth consecutive year.
A three-day annual offsite seminar during which top-level executives, along with administration, discuss accumulated tensions, disagreements, and resolve conflicts that often do not get addressed in the workplace due to time constraints and typically unfavorable mood. They refresh interpersonal relationships, review their values and priorities, revisit roles and responsibilities, and make important agreements for future actions.
People return to work with a sense of relief and cooperation is much smoother.
