Hi, I’m Tessa Wernink
Invite me to think with you how to creatively approach organisational and communications challenges and I’ll support the process with a range of tools, coaching expertise and creative facilitation skills.
I work with people and teams in purpose-driven and fast-changing businesses and non-profit organisations. I can help you organise around complexity, create core narratives and build safe learning environments in order move to sustained, purposeful action.
The whole is more that the sum of its parts, and so I never work without a close connection to vision and mission.

Walk the Talk
Besides supporting others, I am shifting the narrative toward a regenerative, inclusive society through storytelling and training. These are some of the businesses that I have helped build from the ground up.
What If We Get It Right?
What If We Get It Right is a podcast offering the business world new narratives and showcasing how to build for-profit businesses that serve planetary and societal needs. I partnered with Impossible – a global planet-centric design agency to start conversations about how people can lead our world in a new direction and where we might be getting it right.
The Undercover Activist
The Undercover Activist is driving a bottom-up movement for positive action in business. We train, coach and embolden young professionals to be optimistic and confident and take constructive action to change their organisations from within.
I partnered with business activist Veronique Swinkels and we offer online courses on positive workplace activism.
Fairphone
Fairphone is a social enterprise using a commercial model and the production of smartphones to drive positive change in the electronics industry. I was part of the founding team, making the world’s first ethical smartphone that is pushing for long-lasting use and circular thinking. I have since moved on, but include this great example of how we created a business model around a campaign for fairer electronics.
