To help individuals trust themselves and create spaces where everyone can contribute their best.

From an early age, Michel grappled with the challenges of fitting in and faced personal hardships, learning through these experiences that true strength comes from embracing one's unique identity. His path included navigating rigid judgemental systems that offered structure but lacked genuine support, teaching him the value of compassionate leadership.

From an early age, Michel knew what it was like to feel different.

Not quite fitting in in school, church or community he constantly adapted to fit in - only to later realize that true strength comes from embracing who you are. 

His journey took him through struggles with identity, pushing boundaries in search of belonging, and eventually, a defining dark chapter in a rigid rehab program to get his life back on track, where he found structure but lacked real support.

That… was 20 years ago.

In his years of navigating challenging environments - including toxic leadership culture - he discovered his passion for creating spaces where people feel safe to be themselves. He learned that the best leaders don't impose control but foster connection, trust, and use curiosity. That realization has driven him ever since. 

It fueled him in his years managing a drug rehab, coaching teens & youth, leadership in start ups and facilitating organizational change in huge corporates.

Now, as an expert facilitator, Michel is dedicated to use his facilitation skills to be a force for good in this world, to inspire and motivate others to be a force for good as well so together we can change the world around us for the better. 

If you're ready to create spaces where people thrive.

Whether you're a leader, an organization, or an individual looking for real impact, Michel is here to help. Reach out today and start building the kind of environment where everyone can bring their best. 

Let’s make a difference, together.

His mission is to help leaders create the right context for their people, so they can do their best work. 

One day in the future he wants to facilitate change in the dutch school systems so it will become a place where neuro-spicey people like him can flourish and learn in new ways that fit with their special brains.
