Space That Speaks

Create human-centric workspaces that enhance well-being and success.

Every space tells a story. Offices are more than places of business-they shape culture, influence engagement, and impact business growth. In Space That Speaks, Mette Johansen Keating reveals how your office can be a strategic tool to build trust, foster collaboration, boost productivity, reinforce values, and drive success.

A leader in human-centric workplace design, Johansen Keating helps organizations achieve strategic goals through the spaces they inhabit. She challenges leaders to define who they are, their values, where they're going, and how they want people to feel in their environment. Why does it matter? Once executives grasp the financial impact of workspace design-reducing turnover, absenteeism, and disengagement while improving productivity-the cost shifts from a facilities expense to a vital investment in performance.

This essential mindset shift forms the foundation of her iThrive® program to impactful design. By aligning intent with functionality, energy, and aesthetics, organizations can create spaces where employees thrive. Space That Speaks combines architecture, design, engineering, and psychology to achieve the Scandinavian principles of hygge and arbejdsglæde (happiness at work).

Through research, case studies, and experience with global organizations, Johansen Keating demonstrates how thoughtful, beautiful, and functional spaces enhance well-being and produce measurable ROI. Office space isn't just an expense-it's an asset that ensures your business doesn't just exist but thrives in every possible way.
