About Emmalotte
That curiosity is the common thread running through her work. As a journalist, Emmalotte explores social and cultural developments. As a trainer and facilitator, she translates her insights into energetic, interactive workshops in which participants are invited to take action.
Within her work in diversity, equity and inclusion, Emmalotte focuses on sustainable behavioural change. Based on the conviction that inclusion becomes visible in small, everyday choices, she co-wrote the book Micromomenten – Kleine acties die teams groot maken with Esther Mollema.
In 2025, Emmalotte was selected for the talent programme of Red Pers, which collaborates with DPG Media. As a Zeitgeist editor, she wrote about topics including nostalgia in our listening habits, knowledge influencers and our Calvinist tendency to schedule even our leisure time efficiently.
Emmalotte has carried out assignments for organisations including Abbott, SADC, TU Delft, Gasunie and ABN AMRO. Together with Esther, she is also co-host of the podcast Zij aan Zet. She graduated as an honours student in communication and media.
Workshop in Micromomens
Emmalotte delivers interactive, energetic workshops in which major workplace challenges, such as loneliness, absenteeism, burnout, staff turnover, declining employee satisfaction, a lack of innovation and low willingness to change, are translated into everyday behaviour.
Everyone influences the people around them. During the workshop, participants learn how to use that influence consciously to strengthen connection, engagement and collaboration. In this way, a strong workplace culture is not only the responsibility of leaders, HR or a programme, but something everyone can contribute to every day.

Queer Allyship Cannot Be Scheduled
Can a rainbow logo really make queer employees feel welcome? Research suggests that visibility alone is not enough. In this article, we explain why inclusion is not built through campaigns, but through the small, everyday interactions between colleagues. And why Pride Month should be seen as a starting point, not the finish line.
Real Connection at Work? Focus on What You Share
First impressions shape how you collaborate. Focus on similarities rather than differences to reduce biases and strengthen workplace connections. Read on for practical tips!
Are generations real, or just a mirror of our time?
Why do we like to speak in generations? Because it gives us something to hold on to in a rapidly changing world. But thinking in generations does not always tell the full story. This article explores why Gen Z reflects the spirit of our time and why those neat boxes are less harmless than they seem.
