Our mission is simple
Support people to connect
with themselves and each other
CHAT stands for
Connection
By developing a connection with yourself through increased self-awareness, you’ll create more meaningful connections with others.
HONESTY
By communicating with integrity you'll unlock deeper personal and professional relationships.
When we're honest with each other, we can profit from more meaningful interactions.
ALIGNMENT
When what you think on the inside matches what you say and do on the outside, you are aligned.
Being aligned means leaving behind tendencies to manipulate others. Instead you'll create mutually
respectful relationships.
TRUST
Loyalty and respect are a result of trust.
Without it we can’t rely on anything or anyone.
Learn how to build deeply trusting connections. Whether that's colleagues, clients, friends or family.
