ABOUT ME

My name is Mattijs Messely, and I am a consultant and trainer specialising in inclusive leadership and strategy.

What I do:

  • Developing strategy and vision, and communicating them to staff

  • Setting up learning and development programmes for managers of diverse teams

  • Getting change processes back on track when people lose momentum

  • Making the workplace and culture more inclusive, so you retain the right people

  • Charting a course between legal compliance and truly inclusive employment practices

Over ten years’ experience as a policy adviser and (strategic) manager. I have worked with public authorities, the education sector and businesses. My experience includes strategy, change programmes, complex decision-making and programme management.

My approach is transparent and always bespoke. I start by analysing how your organisation works and identifying the levers for change. No one-size-fits-all package focused on a single target group.

An initial consultation costs nothing, apart from an hour of your time. We’ll assess where you are now, what’s holding you back and where you want to go. You’ll then receive a bespoke proposal.

What I stand for

Diversity always makes an organisation stronger, provided that diversity is truly valued. More diverse backgrounds around the table produce more ideas that challenge the status quo. Investing in inclusion means innovating from within.

Systems thinking is a necessity for leaders who want to create lasting change. One action for one target group will not change your organisation. Understanding a social challenge in all its complexity, and learning which levers you have to bring that change about, that will.

There is a world of difference between managers and leaders. Change management, for instance, means little without transformational leadership. There is a reason why most change programmes fall short. Those who can engage their people build the support that change needs.

Do you need that view from outside? Advice that helps you make clear, sound choices?
