Dialogue in the plural · for teams, brands & communities
Some decisions — and some rooms — belong to more than one person.
Expert Dialogue began as a way to help groups connect and decide together. The same method that guides one person through a crossroads can move a team toward a shared decision, or turn a room full of strangers into a community. It works through questions, conversation architecture, and the design of connection itself
Two ways it works
One method, two rooms
For teams & organisations
Group dialogue & facilitation
Facilitated deep-work sessions that build cohesion, unlock a stuck decision, and carry a team through change — led by me or by trained facilitators. The four movements of the individual journey, adapted for a group that has to move together.
Delivered for Coca-Cola France, SNCF and TF1, among others.
For brands & spaces
Connection architecture
For hospitality and co-living: tools that turn social friction into connection and static space into a living community — Conversation Menus in shared areas, a Welcome Questionnaire that lets people reveal their values and choose to meet, and facilitated events that bring them together.
Designed for co-living and other cultural-hospitality projects.
Where it
began
The method was born in Paris. As Strategy and Development Manager for Peuplade — a pioneering social initiative built in collaboration with the Town of Paris — my task was to interconnect neighbours and activate local life.
It featured the self-portrait questionnaire: a way for people to reveal what they value, not what they do for a living — and, on that basis, to find each other. That single instrument — questions that surface who someone really is — is the seed of everything Expert Dialogue does today, whether across a table from one person or across a lobby full of them or even through an online platform!
The instruments
How connection gets built
01 The Conversation Menu
Themed questions placed in shared spaces — restaurants, bars, co-working areas — that move people past small talk into genuine exchange. Single cards, or a full menu of themed questionnaires.
02 The Welcome Questionnaire
Not an evaluation survey — a self-portrait. Guests or members choose a nickname and answer non-gendered, non-political questions that convey their values and wishes, then choose whether to be approached for conversation, activities or collaboration
03 Facilitated session
Guided deep-work led by me or trained facilitators — turning dialogue into a structured exercise in team cohesion, project alignment and collective growth, and connecting events that bring a community into the same room.
Start a conversation
Bring the dialogue to your team or your space.
Tell me about the group, the room, or the decision in front of you — and we'll shape the right format together, whether that's a facilitated session or a full connection design.
