🔗 "Disrupting Silos, Sparking Change: The Sofa as a Catalyst for Humane Innovation"

Reboundog’s Sofa Meet-ups are not ordinary discussions. They are deeply human, globally connected dialogues where the future of animal welfare is re-imagined—through the lens of empathy, purpose, and cross-sector collaboration.

Set in a virtual lounge inspired by the openness of the Art Hotel in Budapest and the holistic ethos of Schumacher College, each Sofa Meet-up brings together visionary thinkers, change-makers, and entrepreneurs to challenge entrenched silos and share golden nuggets of wisdom that catalyse new initiatives.

Across 7 sessions in 2024–25, the Reboundog Sofa Meet-ups have surfaced three unifying themes:

🌍 1. Cross-Boundary Collaboration is Essential for Societal Change

From strategic partnerships to tech-for-good platforms, guests highlight that innovation in animal welfare and human well-being demands collective intelligence—across disciplines, geographies, and traditional rivalries.

🧠 2. Empathy, Emotional Intelligence, and Mindset Shape Outcomes

Whether addressing conflict resolution, shelter reform, or leadership, each Meet-up emphasizes that mindset is not a soft skill—it’s a structural one. The human-animal bond thrives when self-awareness, compassion, and inclusion lead.

🚀 3. Purposeful Innovation Can Rebuild Trust and Transform Communities

When leveraging AI to drive accessibility or storytelling to empower youth, participants show how thoughtful, purpose-driven action can reshape social norms, influence policy, and restore trust between humans, animals, and institutions.

These are conversations where egos are left at the door. Instead, curiosity, transparency, and the courage to think differently create a safe space for daring new ideas. And with every post-event video, short clip, and article, these ideas echo into the wider world—inviting others to join the movement.

Culture Led Coaching for Pet Sector Pioneers

🧭 What does it really mean to lead with purpose in the pet industry?

At Reboundog, we believe the future of the pet sector isn’t just about products, profits, or platforms. It’s about people, culture, and the courage to build businesses that create lasting, positive impact.

That’s why our coaching philosophy is different:

🌱 We don’t just coach for growth — we coach for alignment. You already have the passion. We help you align it with your mission, your team, and your long-term vision.

🤝 We prioritise relationships over quick wins. We create safe, reciprocal spaces where conversations lead to collaboration — and collaboration leads to meaningful change.

🌍 We bridge the best of for-profit strategy and social good. The pet industry is uniquely placed to demonstrate that business can be a force for good — and we’re here to help you become known as the only one who does what you do.
