“Dreamwork is what makes the teamwork,” says Anton Stellamans in his marvellous welcome to the 2025 SOLWorld Conference in Mechelen.

It began two years ago in Vienna, when the organisers first dreamt of what SOLWorld 2025 could be. Their dreams took shape, and what dreams they were, in a gathering full of warmth, insight and inspiration.

SFiO is delighted to share Anton’s warm introduction in InterAction.

Whether you were part of the magic in Mechelen or not, we invite you to watch or listen in. You’ll experience the heartfelt rituals, the rich sense of continuity, the thoughtful inclusivity, and the sheer delight that marked the start of the conference. It’s a masterclass in setting the tone for “good company”.

If you were there, let it spark fond memories. If you missed it, here’s your chance to catch the spirit. You can see all SOLWorld 2025 features in the 2025 collection: https://www.sfio.org/interaction-collection/

Introduction to SOLWorld 2025

Elvira Kalmar is a seasoned organizational development coach and facilitator who brings warmth, clarity, and curiosity to every encounter. Her work blends solution-focused coaching with a deep respect for the wisdom already present in teams. Rather than offering quick fixes, she invites leaders and organizations to pause, reflect, and create change from within. Elvira’s calm presence and skillful questions turn ordinary conversations into moments of insight.

At the heart of practice is the idea of "walking with clients". She believes transformation happens when we share the journey, not when we stand apart as experts. Through engaging dialogue, playful experimentation, and powerful reflection, she guides the participants to discover their own next steps. Her session feel less like lectures and more like shared explorations, where learning unfolds naturally.

By watching this session, you’ll gather practical ways to nurture leadership in your team, spark creativity in everyday conversations, and experience a coaching method that feels refreshingly human. You’ll hear how “best hope” dialogues can unlock hidden potential and watch a live demonstration of her approach in action. And just when you think you know where it’s going, Elvira offers a closing invitation that quietly shifts everything.
