THE BRAND NEW Human Bridge- Racial Healing in the Workplace

Engaging in courageous conversations about racial healing can be daunting.

Get in touch to book a powerful and thought-provoking theatrical performance, followed by a practical Hatch facilitation process, as a tool to safely broach this sensitive topic.

a definition

[cul-ture-neer-ing]

(n.) The art of building a strong culture in a diverse workforce that lays the platform for obsessive customer service.

The Hatch Cutureneering™ Program

No one in the market focuses on diversity and racial healing in the way that we do. We explore racial polarisation, and the impact it is has on the culture of the organisation and the creation of a sense of psychological safety and belonging in the workplace.

Our Services

Culture Training

The Cultureneering™ Programme will give you the roadmap needed to achieve meaningful change that results in obsessive customer service, increased customer loyalty and healthy profits.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI)

We need to have the uncomfortable conversations that sensitise us about the root causes of social injustice. With our high-impact workshops, we create a safe environment for these conversations to take place.

Business and Leadership Coaching

In order to earn the moral authority to lead and inspire your people to motivate themselves, you need to be able to demonstrate an ability to transform yourself and remove those obstacles that are standing in your way.

Personal coaching

While most coaches focus on either life coaching or leadership coaching, we are unique in how we link personal growth to business leadership, and help you find your voice with effective communication in a diverse work environment with Hatch Speak.

Ian Fuhr with an extraordinary 48-year entrepreneurial career, is a seasoned keynote speaker who shares his invaluable lessons and insights on culture, self-development, leadership, customer service and race relations.

Hear from our Clients

Ian Fuhr, the designer of CultureneeringTM and Culture-Driven Leadership, has based these principles on a deep belief that helped him to build Sorbet into a brand that not only spanned the whole of South Africa, but changed the lives of thousands of employees (and customers).

I have known lan since the early days and watched at a distance how he started and grew many successful businesses. My respect and admiration are firmly based on his business philosophy. I always wanted to share in his magic formula and fortunately the opportunity arose when I learnt that lan, through the Hatch Institute, was now working with companies to share his philosophies and experiences. I had decided that 2020 was the year I wanted to enhance our unique Culture and confirm our Purpose. I wanted to do this with someone who had real scars and had successful commercial experience. Ian ticked all these boxes. The timing was perfect and we are now on an exciting journey of personal development, learning and corporate growth, working with lan.

Ian Fuhr and his team at the Hatch Institute have made a profound impact on EM's growth and development. We have undergone a transformative journey that has enhanced our culture and assisted in creating our purpose (EMverything).

Ian's leadership is exceptional. His wealth of knowledge, combined with a genuine passion for fostering positive change has empowered our leadership team to create a lasting impact on "The EM Way". He has provided us with valuable insights, tools, and strategies to improve communication, collaboration, and leadership across all levels of our company. His dedication to promoting inclusivity and diversity has broadened our perspective and helped us create a more welcoming and equitable workplace.

I am so grateful for the opportunity you created for our team to talk to each other across races, genders and other areas of diversity, telling their personal stories and creating new insight and understanding of each other. I was humbled by the way the team embraced the journey and the conversations willingly and with genuine interest and curiosity, and I have no doubt that GROW emerges from this workshop series as a stronger organization with an even healthier culture.

It’s not often that I am at a loss for words. I have been managing event teams for years and therefore have had the privilege to attend many great conferences around the world, and I have to say I have never left so inspired, entertained, humbled (this note will look like a dictionary if I continue to list the emotions I felt after your presentation) by a speaker. Thank you, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, your fascinating past and cultural insights that many fear to discuss so openly and candidly.

Embrace the culture-driven approach

Running a business in a racially polarised country with a melting pot of diversity, requires leaders to understand the complexity of building an inclusive culture out of a fragmented workforce. A strong culture is not only focused on chasing financial objectives, but is based on trust, equality, respect and mutual tolerance. When every employee has a true sense of belonging, despite their differences, it is possible to create a common purpose of obsessive customer service.

I’ve read every one of Ian’s books, they never disappoint. And this one is just as important and meaningful. Thoroughly enjoyed it
