Meet the Speakers: Maureen Steele & Cristina Bianchi

Maureen (originally from the UK) and Cristina (originally from Italy) met in Switzerland and have worked together as trainers, facilitators, and coaches for over 15 years.

They are dedicated to provoking cultural change that makes the workplace more sustainable and fulfilling. Their unique process involves co-writing every word and debating every concept until the final result is stronger than the sum of its parts—a true testament to the "wisdom of groups" they advocate for.
