VOICES FROM
THE ROGUES
"Learning about hope-based communications has changed my perspective on my work. I also helped me find my voice on shaping the work that we do in my organisation and in human rights field, and helped me connect with like-minded, cool people with whom the main message of the approach resonated well."
Kerem Çiftçioğlu
Communications Director, Hafiza Merkezi
“Working with Thomas and becoming a Hope-Based Communications trainer has given me language for and a confidence in the kind of change I always sensed was possible, but didn’t quite know how to articulate. Learning the five shifts and putting them into practice has of course changed how I approach my work, but it's also changed my daily conversations and how I approach everyday life. What I love most about the Hope-Based framework is how intuitive it is. The shifts activate hope and make it accessible — anyone can learn them, anyone can practice them, and anyone can become an expert in spreading active hope. As a trainer, Thomas holds space with clarity, humility, care, and humor, and models how to move from reacting to the world to reimagining it. Since becoming certified, I've led workshops for private sector groups, philanthropy, and civil society, using the five shifts to point our collective gaze toward the world we want to build.”
Michael Braithwaite
Founder of Big Bite Communications + Next Big Thing Consulting
“HBC became a solid baseline for my work as a communications strategist and goes far beyond communications content or professions. Focusing on the things you want to grow applies to almost any context, and the phrase "Say what you're for" is one I use often - both in my personal and professional life.”
Gesine Schmidt-Schmiedbauer
Co-Founder of One Step Beyond
"Thank you very much for everything you did. I only got enthusiastic reactions from people visiting your workshop and session. I think your work and vision is really important and I am glad you will continue this road to promote hope-based communications."
Sera Koolmees
Senior Communications Advisor, Partos Innovation Festival
"In a world thirsting for solutions and tired of catastrophes, we cannot just be one more organization shouting about things that are wrong. Thomas' hope-based approach oriented us not to focus on issues, but instead to illuminate our work for hope: in every campaign, in every policy we encourage, in every fundamental human right we defend."
Pedro A. Neto
Executive Director, Amnistia Internacional Portugal
"Thomas’s work with ISHR – founded in science, evidence and stories, as well as extensive first-hand experience as to what works and what doesn’t – is helping us to communicate about defenders in ways which engage hearts and change minds."
Phil Lynch
Executive Director, International Service for Human Rights
