A Work Table is a hosted professional conversation.
A small group meets online for one hour — never more than six participants, with two hosts present throughout. People come from different organisations and work contexts.
The focus is real work situations: decisions, responsibilities, tensions, uncertainties. This is the kind of talk that rarely fits into meetings — and rarely happens well in casual networking.
English is the working language everyone shares. It is deliberately not taught, corrected, or evaluated.
The conversation is deliberately hosted through experience so it can stay focused, balanced, and grounded in lived work reality — without performance pressure taking over.
This is not training or consulting. It is a held space for professional reflection and exchange.
A place you can come to once — or return to
Work Tables run at different times of the day and on different days of the week. The structure stays familiar. The people around the table change.
Some people come once, out of curiosity. Others return, because the tone suits them: calm, serious when it needs to be — and surprisingly normal.
You can see upcoming themes, times, and available seats in the schedule. This is not a one-off event — it’s a place that is already in use.
How the hour works
Opening (about 5 minutes)
Frank (France) and Janita (South Africa) open the table, set the structure, and introduce the theme.
The table (about 45 minutes)
Each participant has space to speak from their own work context. Listening matters as much as talking.
- There is no pitching, selling, or networking agenda.
- There is no teaching, fixing, or problem-solving.
- You are not asked to present solutions. You are asked to speak honestly and listen carefully.
Closing (about 10 minutes)
The conversation ends when the hour ends. There is no summary and no action list. The table closes. The value is the quality of the hour.
