We, Gesine Schmidt-Schmiedbauer and Philip Doyle, are communication strategists and share a common purpose rooted in human rights. This drives us to support leaders and organisations in effectively communicating what they stand for, with the aim of making a positive impact on people and the planet. 

​

​

We founded one step beyond in 2022 to help organisations elevate their communication and campaigning efforts to a more impactful and strategic level. At the same time, we support purpose-led businesses that benefit from engaging narratives, movement thinking and a campaigning mindset. 

​

As part of a global network of certified hope-based communication specialists, we are dedicated to advancing the field of narrative practice across Europe and globally.
