What makes the difference in an interview is the ability to create a positive and open relationship, to present yourself with confidence, to manage your emotions and stress, to listen, to answer clearly and to make yourself understood so as to encourage a real exchange.
In a labour market that is rich but also demanding and unstable, many people have professional assets but struggle to bring them to the fore and show what they really have to offer.
How can I make the most of my qualities and make myself visible, audible, impactful... even when I feel that my legitimacy is wavering a little, that my roots are still being built, that my confidence needs a framework to assert itself?
TalkTo was born out of this reality. This intensive programme provides concrete tools for developing essential soft skills: clarity, presence, relational impact and emotional intelligence.
A project created in 2023 in collaboration with SECO
TalkTo was launched in the canton of Neuchâtel in 2023 in collaboration with SECO. The programme offers a unique blended learning method, combining human support with cutting-edge technology. It enables people to improve their communication skills and regain the ability to speak, both literally and figuratively.
Far from ready-made recipes, TalkTo combines the support of experienced coaches, the richness of teamwork and the power of AI, and is based on these three pillars:
Face-to-face workshops, led by talented coaches, for support based on exchange.
A dynamic of collective intelligence, based on benevolent feedback and shared development.
An AI-based mobile application with microgames, objective analysis and customised self-learning across the different components of soft skills: verbal, paraverbal and non-verbal. The application, developed in-house and certified by the Swiss Software label, provides fun, daily training.
"A method rooted in reality, supported by people and technology".
Since 2023, more than 350 people have completed the programme. Thanks to their commitment, perseverance and trust, we have been able to help them reveal their full potential and talents.
Satisfaction rate: 90 %.
The feedback is unanimous: we're talking about transformation, new-found clarity and rekindled confidence.
After a successful one-year pilot, more cantons have chosen to integrate TalkTo into their employment support policies. The programme is now also available in the canton of Vaud, and will soon be available in two other Swiss cantons.

Transforming soft skills into genuine career levers
In a rapidly changing world of work, technical skills become obsolete more and more quickly. Only human skills remain imperishable, and these are increasingly decisive for integration into a company. According to a study, 89 % of HR professionals say that poor recruitment is due to a lack of soft skills.
Soft skills encompass concepts such as emotional management, interpersonal intelligence and social skills. TalkTo offers a practical response to this challenge, turning soft skills into strong skills!
To transform these skills into sustainable levers, you need a solid foundation. That's why the programme starts where it all begins: with you.
This in-depth work takes time, which is why the TalkTo programme is made up of a series of 6 weeks, allowing for a progressive and transformative journey:
- Week 1 - Communication & me
Creating a group dynamic, building confidence, discovering your own communication style.
- Week 2 - Emotions at the service of communication
Stress management, emotional intelligence, overcoming limiting beliefs, developing body language and posture.
- Week 3 - Communicating with impact
Developing storytelling, preparing and structuring a powerful speech, simulating interviews and networking.
- Week 4 - Understanding others to improve dialogue
Active listening, formulating needs, practising unpleasant questions, presenting your career plan.
- Week 5 - Become the architect of your communications
Building confidence, daring to take your place and offer it to others, developing your personal signature.
- Week 6 - Taking charge of your future
Synthesis of what has been learnt in a practical application, action plan for the future, production of a presentation video and award of the TalkTo certificate.
The aim is to build a solid foundation on which to build communication skills and know-how.
Tangible benefits for participants
At the end of the six weeks, participants go home with their own:
- More stable emotional management in high-stakes situations
- A confident, aligned posture adapted to interviews
- The ability to promote their skills convincingly
- A stimulating group dynamic and new positive habits
- Clear, structured oral expression
- A professional project that is reinvested, clarified and anchored in their uniqueness
TalkTo was originally designed to develop your professional career, but its potential extends beyond that.
The programme is entirely adaptable to the needs of companies wishing to do so:
- Develop emotional and relational intelligence within their organisation
- Improving internal communication
- Building more cohesive, autonomous and aligned teams
- Strengthening leadership and managerial skills
TalkTo is much more than a tool. It's a bridge between silence and words, between doubt and affirmation, between waiting and taking action. It's a method designed to bring out the best in everyone: a unique voice, a talent for interpersonal relations, an ability to assert oneself fully in one's own path.
