Communications

Hope based communicatons_edited_edited_e

We, Gesine Schmidt-Schmiedbauer and Philip Doyle, are hope-based communication pioneers and leading experts in the German-speaking region.

What sets us apart from traditional agencies is our many years of hands-on experience in nationally and internationally recognised organisations.

 

We know what it takes to stand out in volatile and complex environments: strategic, authentic, and focused on what matters.

Hope-based communication is a strategic approach to driving social change.

 

The five shifts,

it is easy to apply in everyday communication, regardless of the resources available

Since the beginning, we have been part of the ongoing conceptual evolution and the growing international hope-based community. 

We offer strategy consulting, trainings and personal coaching in English and German.

 

Together with organisations, associations, special interest groups and businesses, we develop narratives on social and environmental impact.

We have developed and successfully implemented growth strategies, positioned organisations with clarity, and helped shape public and societal discourse. We understand the challenges and opportunities organisations and companies face - both in times of crisis and in phases of growth.

Hope-Based Communications

Constructive,
value-based &
solution-orientated

Hope-Based Communication is about making your own values and ideas more visible.

It highlights the positive impact of proposals and solutions, showing that lasting persuasion requires more than just pointing out problems.

Hope-Based Communications

Emotions
and
neuroscience

Hope-based communications is an innovative concept that draws on insights from neuroscience and cognitive linguistics.

In addition to addressing challenges, it focuses on making ideas, solutions, and constructive alternatives visible to the public. Especially in the handling and use of emotions.

Hope is central to opening people up to social change and motivating them to take action.

The five shifts to hope-based communications.
