Our focus is tension, difference and the space in between
We’re living in a time of constant pressure to pick a side. Work or life. Speed or sustainability. Growth or rest.
We’re told it should be this, that. To choose clarity. To cut out the noise. No.
At and., we believe the future doesn’t sit in extremes.
It lives in the tension.
The space in-between.
And that space is rich with possibility, if we’re willing to work with it, not against it.
We’ve learned this from philosophers and founders, researchers and real humans:
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, who said contradiction is how progress happens.
Anne-Laure Le Cunff, who shows that small, thoughtful experiments are how we actually change.

A name shapes how the world sees us. It’s how we introduce ourselves, how we sign our stories, how people call us when they need us. A name can make you feel seen, or it can make you shrink.
Think about it. Have you ever met someone with the same name as an old bully from school, and suddenly, you feel something? A name carries memory. It carries weight.
Maybe you’ve changed your name, reshaped it, shortened it, or reclaimed it. Because names have power, and sometimes, the one we were given does not fit who we are becoming.
And it’s not just personal.
In business, a name can be the difference between being remembered and being forgotten. It can make people stop and ask questions or pas

Whatever your reaction, it’s natural—because recognition is often misunderstood. At and., we believe recognition is more than a pat on the back. It’s fuel for growth, connection, and genuine impact. Let us introduce you to SoulFood, our way of saying, "I see you, and what you did made a difference."
Why SoulFood Matters
Feedback often comes loaded with agendas, hidden criticisms, or an expectation to change. Most of us are familiar with feedback that starts with "Can I give you some feedback?" and ends with us wondering what we did wrong and what we need to fix.
Busy..?
We all use time as an excuse at some point in our lives. The number of courses, books, and webinars on time management is overwhelming, and like most things, the real impact is that improving your time isn’t the issue. It’s the choices you make around time
