About
Maylis Djikalou.
I work at the intersection of conflict, identity, and collective repair.
Leadership coach, inclusion consultant, facilitator, and writer with over 15 years across creative industries, health start-ups, and corporate environments. I design trauma-informed leadership journeys that help organisations work with conflict, lead inclusively, and strengthen culture under pressure. I work in English and French.
“Thirteen years ago, I was in Glamour Magazine. Months later, I was in Holloway Prison. Recovery taught me that transformation doesn't happen through willpower — it happens through witnessing. That insight is the foundation of everything I build.”
