About Helen & Co

How We can help

A group of people in a meeting room with a whiteboard and sticky notes. One woman is presenting, and others are seated watching.

Hi there ! I’m Helen, the founder of Helen & Co.

I am on a mission to transform meetings into spaces that people actually enjoy attending.

I hold live sessions that help teams have hard conversations, navigate complexity, build trust & alignment, and finally hear each other — across departments, across power structures, across cultural difference.

I reduce the emotionnal friction in teams which in turn creates speed and ease and flow which we all crave but find so difficult to achieve.

How it Started

Two business professionals, a woman and a man, are standing next to a large whiteboard with handwritten notes and workshop diagrams. They are smiling and pointing at the whiteboard.

I have 10 years of corporate experience and a lifelong passion into what makes humans tick (politics, biology, culture, power, emotions and personal development) 

I used to think of these as “soft” skills or hobbies and that what really mattered were “hard” skills in the workplace.

So I learned Finance, Supply chains, Excel, Powerpoint and spent hundreds of hours in professionnal meetings that made me feel a mix of :

  • Boredom (Only 12 minutes until the end)

  • Demotivation (Definitely, turning off my camera for this)

  • Frustration (Why am I here?)

  • Confusion/Futility (Did we decide anything? / Did it matter that I was there ?)

How it ALL changed

Two yellow taxi signs on the roofs of parked cars on a city street at night with blurred city lights in the background.
“I didn´t know that meetings could be like THAT”
“Remember...”
“It was SO funny that...”

One day, I was asked to organize and run a team offsite for my colleagues.

It was really fun. We had a full 8h day of discussions and activities and the day itself was as fun as the planning.

But then something unexpected happened…

After the day ended, people just didn´t want to leave, and on the way back to the hotel, when people are usually on their phones bored, exhausted or checked out..

THE TAXI WAS BUZZING and my colleages couldn´t stop talking about how the day we had just had together.

Remember X ? It was so funny when Y. OMG this was such a good idea !

One manager said, “I have 10 years of experience, I know how to run a meeting but not like THAT! I didn´t know meetings could be like that. “

How it continued

People standing in two lines facing each other, engaging in a team-building activity and ice breaker in workshop setting.

The first time went so well, I was looking for an oppportunity to do it again which came along a few weeks later.

AND the same thing happened. People came to see me afterwards to tell me how fun it was, ask questions about how I had planned it and when we were doing it again.

So I did it again, and then again and then again.

Until I didn´t believe that it was luck anymore, this was special and I was good at it. This is how Helen & Co came to be.
