Inclusion only works when you actually do it.

 

Not in a policy document, but in a look of recognition. Not just at the top, but especially in all those small, everyday moments on the work floor. We help teams turn inclusion into habitual behavior through micromoments: small actions that make everyone feel seen and valued. Not perfect colleagues, but habit builders.

“Micromoments” expected in June 2026

After the enthusiastic responses from clients to our new Micromoments method, we started conversations with Boom Publishers this past summer to translate our mission into a book.

The #ActivateInclusion Card Game

The #ActivateInclusion Card Game helps teams start the conversation about inclusion in an accessible way and reflect together on actions that truly move the team forward. The concrete examples on the cards make micromoments tangible: teams recognize what they want to work on, and how. That way, it doesn’t stop at talking about inclusion, but you actually start doing it together.

Inclusion doesn't start with policy. It starts with a sentence. Esther Mollema

Article about Micromoments

Inclusion doesn’t start with policy, but with behavior. Not in big plans, but in small moments. But doing something right once isn’t enough. Sustainable change only happens when micromoments become a habit. By acting one percent more inclusive each day, you build a team where inclusion becomes second nature.

Training Micromoments

We’re happy to include the theme of micromoments in a training with your team or organization. Inclusive teams don’t just happen. They grow from a culture where everyone gets to contribute, and it’s the small moments that make the real difference. Micromoments help colleagues feel seen and valued. Not during formal moments, but in between. In an aside. In a glance. The real trick? Embedding micromoments into your routine. So they don’t remain exceptions, but become habits.

“The workshops on inclusive leadership were a great success. Not abstract theories, but recognisable situations and practical tools that leaders can apply immediately. The section on micromoments and the card game made the session even more hands-on, interactive, and accessible. It led to honest conversations as well as concrete agreements.”

“I started a company together with a friend, and we simply began working together in the way that felt logical to us. This method suddenly showed me how many ways of interacting quietly become ingrained in the way you work together. It reminded me that you can always take back control of how you connect with others, whether they are colleagues, clients, friends, family, or strangers in the supermarket.”

In this podcast episode, Esther Mollema interviews Emmalotte Smit about the power of habits in achieving inclusion goals.

Esther sees in organizations that setting goals isn’t enough if the culture doesn’t shift along with them. That’s why Emmalotte explored behavioral science and shows how small, everyday habits can be the key to lasting inclusion.

You’ll hear how habits are formed in the brain, and how shared routines can strengthen your team, or unintentionally leave people out.

Why does inclusion so often get stuck at good intentions?

Playbook

Esther Mollema Werkboek

Want to start the dialogue about inclusion in your team but not sure how? The ActivateInclusion Playbook helps you get started. It’s specially developed for leaders who want to open the conversation, even if they don’t yet see themselves as inclusion experts.

The workbook offers themes and exercises that help you explore, together, how you work, communicate, and collaborate. Why do we do things the way we do? How does everyone experience that? And how are you actually seen as a leader?  

 

 

You’ll get clear background insights and concrete exercises to spark the conversation in your team. From icebreakers to deeper reflections, always focused on exchange and growth. Small steps that stick. No theory, just action.
