Cultural Bridging<\/h2>\n

Est\u00e8ve has a bilingual, multicultural family background. Bridging the coasts of England, Denmark and France, Est\u00e8ve describes his family background as being a \u2018melting pot of cultures\u2019.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s perhaps fair to say his family background encouraged Est\u00e8ve\u2019s interest in human communication and interaction. He went on to complete a BSc in Human Factors Engineering at the University of Loughborough<\/a> and then began a career in human factors and ergonomics.<\/p>\n

His career has taken him to many locations, fields and bubbles; Est\u00e8ve has worked for the past 8 years as a Guest Lecturer and Mentor at Aalto Design Factory<\/a>, and as a Startup Communication and Design Thinking Coach at xEdu<\/a> for the past 6 years. He\u2019s been a Human Factors Designer at IDEO<\/a>, Communication Trainer and StartUp Coach, working all over Europe. If anyone understands bridging cultures, it\u2019s this guy.<\/p>\n

\"BubbleBubble Travel<\/h2>\n

One of the things Est\u00e8ve mentioned a few times in our interview was bubble travel: the idea of getting to know different people from social groups other than your own.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t need to spend a lot of money to travel the world, you can bubble travel within the same city\u201d, says Est\u00e8ve.<\/p>\n

But, how exactly does bubble travel work? According to Est\u00e8ve, it works via a simple formula:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Identify your bubble<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To do this, list your hobbies. This helps you identify the people and activities you\u2019re accustomed to. Most likely, the people who take part in the same hobbies will have the same codes of thinking, similar ideas, values and vocab as you. \u201cWe all have a number of bubbles\u201d, says Est\u00e8ve, \u201cbubble travel is a hobby for me now\u201d.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Pick a different bubble<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      It can be a local biker\u2019s club or running club. Make sure you look the part – go to the local second-hand shop and find yourself something from that bubble.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        Experience your new chosen bubble<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \u201cGo there with an open mind, ask open questions, and suspend judgement and just keep yourself in a curiosity posture\u201d, says Est\u00e8ve.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        What\u2019s not bubble travel?<\/h3>\n

        \u201cIf you go to Thailand with your friends from Helsinki yoga club, you\u2019re going to talk about the same topics, eat vegetarian food. It might be a bit spicier in Thailand, but you\u2019re still in the same bubble\u201d, Est\u00e8ve says.<\/p>\n

        Est\u00e8ve warns that bubble travel can be challenging, but emphasised how much his students of Design Anthropology at Aalto Design factory enjoyed the experience, giving feedback like \u201c\u2018I never thought there was so much diversity in my own city\u201d.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        \"Periodic<\/a>
        Periodic Table of Conscious Communication \u00a9Est\u00e8ve Pannetier<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

        Periodic Table of Conscious Communication<\/h2>\n

        The Periodic Table of Conscious Communication came about in a very organic way. As Est\u00e8ve gathered more and more experience bubble travelling, he says he noticed a lot of different wisdom about communication, which he collected in mindmaps:<\/p>\n

        \u201cIt became so complex that I realised I needed to structure it into a metastructure. How do I do that? Where is there a complex structure of building blocks? The Periodic Table.\u201d<\/p>\n

        Est\u00e8ve sees this Periodic Table of Conscious Communication as a way to help unblock communication barriers. Over time, he\u2019s developed the Periodic Table into a tool for communication coaching.<\/p>\n

         <\/p>\n

        How does the Periodic Table of Conscious Communication work?<\/h3>\n

        At GreenElephant.org, Est\u00e8ve offers various coaching and communication sessions.<\/p>\n

        At these sessions, Est\u00e8ve starts off by asking people calibrated questions about the whole Periodic Table in an automated questionnaire.\u00a0He then analyses their answers and creates a communication profile\u00a0behaviour map based on this analysis.<\/p>\n

        He\u2019ll present this profile to his client and outline the elements of the Periodic Table which may help them to develop their communication strategies, break out of bad habits and see the world, and other humans, in a different light. As Est\u00e8ve says: \u201cOne mental model can unlock a whole life change for a person\u201d.<\/p>\n
