01/ MISSION
SPEAKING BUG IS A ONE-WOMAN STUDIO FOR INCLUSIVE COMMUNICATION.
FOUNDED BY ARTEMIS KUBALA, IT HELPS ORGANISATIONS AND SOCIAL ENTERPRISES COMMUNICATE WITH PURPOSE — THROUGH IMPACTFUL NEWSLETTERS, WORKSHOPS, AND HIGH-QUALITY MODERATION.
02/ VISION
WITH A BACKGROUND IN INTERNATIONAL AND EUROPEAN LAW, CONFLICT RESOLUTION, AND CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE, ARTEMIS BRINGS DEPTH, NUANCE AND SYSTEMIC AWARENESS TO EVERY COLLABORATION.
WHETHER YOU’RE LOOKING TO CLARIFY YOUR MESSAGE, OPEN UP BRAVE CONVERSATIONS, OR CREATE MEANINGFUL LEARNING SPACES — SPEAKING BUG BRINGS A RARE MIX OF SENSITIVITY, STRUCTURE, AND STRATEGY.
03/ THE NAME
IT’S AN HOMAGE TO THE UNSEEN.
JUST LIKE INSECTS QUIETLY SUSTAIN ECOSYSTEMS, IMPACTFUL COMMUNICATION OFTEN HAPPENS IN THE BACKGROUND — POWERFUL, ESSENTIAL, BUT OVERLOOKED.
SPEAKING BUG DRAWS ATTENTION TO THE QUIET WORK THAT MOVES THINGS FORWARD.
IT’S ALSO A CALL TO LISTEN — TO THE SUBTLE SIGNALS, THE ‘BUGS IN THE SYSTEM’ THAT REVEAL WHERE CHANGE IS NEEDED.
FROM THAT ATTENTIVENESS, MEANINGFUL SOLUTIONS EMERGE.
04/ THE FOUNDER
ARTEMIS IS A TRAINED MEDIATOR, SPEAKER, AND FACILITATOR.
SHE IS REGULARLY INVITED AS A PANELIST, WORKSHOP LEADER OR JURY MEMBER ON TOPICS SUCH AS INCLUSION, IDENTITY, SYSTEMS THINKING AND COMMUNICATION.
SHE BELIEVES THAT LISTENING DEEPLY AND SAYING WHAT MATTERS CAN SHIFT ENTIRE SYSTEMS.
05/ VALUES
CLARITY – BECAUSE MEANINGFUL LANGUAGE MAKES CHANGE POSSIBLE
CONNECTION – BECAUSE WORKING TOGETHER MEANS EMBRACING DIFFERENCE
COURAGE – BECAUSE SHIFTING SYSTEMS TAKES MORE THAN COMFORT
