The co-founders of the mental health foundation "Let's Break the Shame" Iris de With and Mae Zaal are expert public speakers for organisations and educational institutions. With unforgettable insight, they change how you see mental health diversity and inclusion, inspire with their personal and professional experience and touch the core of your business - the people in it.

While we see the importance of fostering a culture of supporting well-being, diversity and inclusion everywhere, we understand that every organisation is different. You might be specifically focused on suicide prevention, or you might need an extensive workshop series on cultural inclusiveness or insight into how burned-out managers can take care of their mental health.
Iris and Mae are experts in overlapping fields of diversity, inclusion, mental health, organisational change, human resources as well as training and development. Together they can shine a light on what might be impacting your employees and facilitate understanding by sharing their experiences and help you lead the change you would like to see in your organisation.

Mae's upbringing in an international environment gave her a unique perspective on the importance of inclusivity. Growing older she observed the negative impact of exclusion on people's mental health, including her own struggles with depression. She earned both a BSc and MSc in Business Administration and Human Resource Management, with specializations in Organizational Change and Development to address this issue. With her academic background and personal experiences, Mae founded Let's Break the Shame in 2018 to promote inclusivity and mental wellness in social settings, schools, universities, and organizations. Her passion for promoting inclusivity and mental wellness has made her an expert in this field regarding training & development, organisational & cultural change, diversity and inclusion. She continues to work tirelessly to make a positive and lasting impact on people's lives through her organization and advocacy.

Iris faced several mental health challenges due to a lack of stability in her childhood, including an eating disorder, PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Through these challenges, she learned valuable life skills, such as resilience, independence, and empathy. Iris's struggles taught her essential lessons about self-care, self-awareness, setting boundaries, and more. Iris focused her life on her own well-being and healing process and has through her experience, inspired many people to realize that there is no one right path in life. Every individual has a unique journey to follow, and there is always a way to make things work. Now, she uses her experience in people management, coaching & mentoring as well as diversity and inclusion to teach others the tools that she missed herself. Iris offers a great set of compassion, empowerment, and motivation to help others overcome their struggles and live fulfilling lives.

Together Mae and Iris have helped over 1.5 million people through the foundation's projects and activities. They have also authored 3 books on mental health, inclusivity & diversity and have worked with notable clients such as Vodafone, EVBox, and MCI Global, frequently engaging with over 500 employees.
