About Sacha

Social connection consultant: what if your employees became inspiring "living books"?


Specializing in cultural mediation and international communication (Master 2), I have been supporting organizations (companies, universities, institutions) for 15 years in strengthening social connection, collective intelligence, and the transmission of knowledge, values, or ideas.

With The Human Edition, I deploy an immersive and secure meeting device:the living library.

Inspired by the international Human Library concept, this format transforms, for the duration of an event, your employees, partners, or users into "living books." They share their journey, their challenges, or their expertise with small groups of "readers" (their colleagues/peers).

My "turnkey" approach concretely addresses your strategic challenges:
  • **Performance & collective intelligence**: circulating informal knowledge and breaking down silos between departments.
  • **Engagement & Quality of Life at Work**: putting people and active listening back at the heart of your corporate culture.
  • **CSR & inclusion**: deconstructing prejudices and valuing the diversity of internal experiences.
  • **Teambuilding**: creating a shared emotional experience far deeper than a traditional event.

My support:
I guarantee an ethical and professional framework at each stage:
1. **Diagnosis & scoping**: analysis of your challenges and definition of the theme.
**2. Coaching & storytelling**: supporting speakers for impactful and secure public speaking.
**3. Coordination & facilitation**: complete logistical management and event facilitation.
**4. Impact assessment**: qualitative measurement of benefits for participants.

    August 2025 - Today (11 months)

    Design and deployment of living library initiatives within organizations.
    Specifically, this living library initiative offers secure exchange spaces in small groups. In this space, individuals become "living books" and share their journey, experience, or knowledge with "readers" (2 or 3 people) who come to listen.

    The objective is to change perspectives through direct contact, create connections, multiply viewpoints, and circulate knowledge within a collective.

    My support includes:
    • Diagnosis: needs analysis, identification of meaningful themes, and contextualization of the event.
    • Casting and coaching: call for participation/search for "living books," coaching "living books" in public speaking through group and individual workshops.
    • Coordination: logistical organization and facilitation of the living library edition.
    • Assessment: qualitative measurement of the impact on "living books" and "readers."
