Con4sation® FOR WORK
We don't do dull.Using theatre to bring learning to life.Interactive and Engaging.
Your culture is the conversations people are having. We have a proven record of improving those conversations by helping participants to connect emotionally to the learning. Our use of actors allow conversations to come alive in the training session. We enable participants to observe and practise conversations, bringing the learning to life.Why it works?The reason we all love tv, theatre and film is because we connect emotionally to the characters involved. Our use of actors creates the same emotional response within participants that make them want to learn and change. It makes it personal.Better still, the actors will often voice the opinions participants are thinking, but may be unable or unwilling to say, ensuring the discussions you need to happen... happen.The secret ingredient.All our workshops use the con4sation® methodology. We believe 'people stuff' should be simple to understand, so we have condensed best practise and established (but sometimes complex) theory into 4 simple and accessible elements. It's why we are called CON4SATION.

Better Conversations. Better Relationships. Happier Lives.
Positive Safety conversations
When the worst happens, investigations often discover that it was the 'human factors' involved that caused it to happen. Using theatre and interactive exercises, we explore these human factors and how to flex your approach to get the best in all safety conversations. We love delivering this workshop as we know safety is the gateway to a positive organisational culture.Better Conversations. Better Relationships. Happier and Safer lives.
Trauma and resilience
Today's workplaces are fast-paced, high-pressure, and constantly changing — and people are bringing both visible and invisible stress with them to work. Unrecognised trauma and unmanaged stress can quietly damage teamwork, morale, and performance. Our use of actors and theatre encourages discussion and engagement.This powerful workshop equips your people with the tools they need to:
Recognise the hidden impacts of stress and trauma.
Build personal and team resilience.
Foster psychological safety and trust.
Strengthen leadership practices through a trauma-informed lens.
And it doesn't stop there....
Wherever conversations take place, we help to make them better. Have an idea or need help to create change? We'll be here for you. By working in partnership we can make a real difference. Maybe even some magic...If you have time, check out how we helped one client reduce their staff turnover by 50%. It was a first for their entire industry.

about Con4sation®
About our founder:
Adam Moore
Finding himself sitting at his breakfast table during the 2020 lockdown, Adam was contemplating his work as Creative Director of Source Business Actors. Source uses actors to enable people to observe and practise difficult conversations in a learning environment.
For over two decades Adam has been making 'difficult conversation' training engaging and interactive.
A strong believer in simplicity as a way to make learning inclusive for all, he had a Eureka moment. All his work could be condensed into 4 accessible elements. Con4sation® was born.
Better con4sations. Happier relationships. Simple.

testimonials and case studies
A number of well known organisations and brands use con4sation® to help make their workplaces happier, safer and healthier.
Here's what they say:
Transport
Working with Britain's largest transport operator, the focus was to lead from the front in customer service, working safely and the leadership of their 30,000 employees. We supported them to create a 'common language' through management development programmes, conferences and recruitment assessments. The results that followed: happier working culture, a lowering of grievances, reduced customer complaints and a renewed focus on choosing and developing future talent.
government
How do you ensure the people you are recruiting can actually do what they say they can do? It's simple. Get them to 'show' you. Our use of actors and 'assessed' roleplay conversations have ensured organisations are recruiting wisely and fairly. When you are recruiting for a new manager or customer facing role we can give you peace of mind to support your choice. Our support has benefited the transport, financial and medical sectors. In addition, we have been working with government agencies since 2010, so if you hold a leadership role in the civil service you may have had a 'difficult conversation' with one of our actors!
Construction
Looking to lower the amount of people leaving your organisation?
A leading UK Traffic Management Company who adopted the con4sation approach reduced their staff turnover by almost 50%. A Con4sation® management development programme and an alignment of that learning to internal processes created magic.
energy
When tasked with communicating a change of approach to critical safety management and the need to embed a renewed leadership focus with over 800 offshore workers was a challenge for our client in the energy sector. The creation, delivery and hosting of a number of conferences sharing the con4sation methodology ensured the message landed. Our use of actors demanded the audience connected emotionally with the learning. Further support of monthly updates from Con4sation helped to continue and build upon the learning.
