WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING.

“As agents of change, we’re used to initiating transformation—but it’s something else entirely when it transforms you. Maylis’ impact on PRIDE’s identity and culture, and the safe space that helped build for our LGBTIQ+ community at JTI is profound. I’m deeply grateful.”

— JENNIFER POLZIN, Global Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Manager

“This training felt truly transformational. I feel confident that it gave me more tools to be an inclusive leader.”

CONSULTING TRACKS.

Less theatre. More transformation.

I do the kind of work that helps people take off their masks, stay in the room, and rebuild trust where it’s been eroded. Below are the ways I partner with those ready to lead from that place.

  • You’ve outgrown the mask — but the workplace hasn’t caught up. I’ll help you build your conflict agility and coaching capacity so you can navigate tension with clarity, lead with courage, and reclaim a sense of impact and wellbeing.

  • When inclusion isn’t performative, conflict becomes a portal — not a problem. I help teams move from belonging-as-performance to culture-as-practice.

  • If your brand wants to be truly inclusive, you need more than punchy data — you need cultural depth. I design qualitative research that explores how identity, history, and conflict shape your audience's worldview. You’ll get the clarity to communicate with nuance and act with integrity.

  • I speak and moderate with one goal: to make hard conversations feel human.
    Whether I’m keynoting or guiding a panel, I bring presence and precision. I name what often goes unsaid — the tension, the harm, the hope — and hold space for others to do the same. Not to go around the discomfort, but to move through it — together.

  • This is where my thinking lives in motion. I offer expect writing that interrogates leadership norms, challenges inclusion theatre, and invites readers into a slower, more relational way of working. Some pieces are sharp. Some are soft. All are rooted in lived experience.

BOOK A STRATEGIC CHAT.

If your culture is carrying conflict, it’s already shaping your outcomes — whether or not you’re naming it.

Whether you're rethinking inclusion strategy, facing internal tensions, or looking to move beyond surface-level change, let’s explore what a tailored partnership could look like.

WHERE I WORK FROM.

The work I do didn’t start in a boardroom.
It began in rooms like this — open-air, intergenerational, unapologetically communal.

The women in this image carry a legacy that predates modern leadership theory.

My work is a bridge between that wisdom and the boardrooms I enter today. I invite others to lead not just with ambition — but with memory, humility, and imagination. Learn more
