What this is

Private Tables are closed conversation spaces created for a single company or team when something real needs to be worked through.

They exist for moments that don’t fit neatly into training programmes, consultancy engagements, or workshops with predefined outcomes.

Instead, a Private Table provides a neutral, structured environment where people can think together, speak precisely, and examine a live situation as it actually is.

When a Private Table is appropriate

A Private Table is commissioned when the situation matters more than the language, but language is what’s getting in the way.

These are moments where the work cannot be simplified, deferred, or instructional — and where misunderstanding, silence, or approximation would distort the outcome.

• A cross-functional or cross-cultural group needs to work through a live issue
• A real organisational or strategic question does not belong in a training room
• The topic is too sensitive or unresolved for a workshop format
• People need space to think together, not be instructed or evaluated
• English is shared, but not held equally by all participants
• The work must happen — and language must serve it, not dominate it

How English functions

English is the shared working language. It supports clarity across roles, cultures, and geographies.

English is not the subject.

• No teaching
• No assessment
• No improvement framing

How it works

What this is not

• Training
• A consultancy package
• Facilitation as a service
• An advanced Work Table

Pricing (why it’s private)

Pricing reflects containment, preparation, hosting load, and responsibility for the space.
