We met the way some of the best collaborations begin, through genuine human connection, not work.

​

Almost three years ago, we crossed paths in a small French café in Berlin. One of us (Sylvia) had just been laid off for the third time in five years and found herself craving spaces filled with warmth, kindness, and good energy. The other (Marie) was managing the café and creating exactly that kind of atmosphere.

 

Over the next few years, we chatted, laughed, and built a connection based on nothing more than curiosity and presence. We never talked about work.

 

Until one day, Marie announced she was leaving the café. “It’s time to fly,” she said. That sparked a simple question—“Where are you flying to?”—and an unexpectedly perfect fit began to unfold.

 

As it turned out, Marie had a background in management consulting and people development in France. Sylvia had spent 15+ years leading organizational change, learning programs, and leadership development across Europe and the U.S.

 

We shared similar values around what it takes to create meaningful, human-centered change:
✨ Start with trust
✨ Use your strengths
✨ Learn as you go
✨ Celebrate along the way

 

Now you'll get to experience what that looks like.
 

Flux@Work is our container for creating programs that bring these values to life. Mobilize for Change is the first of many experiences we’re designing to help people lead through change, not just react to it.
