EMPOWERING (NEW) LEADERS FOR HUMAN AND PLANETARY WELL-BEING
We are Metamorphany Changemakers — passionate purpose-driven doers committed to realising holistic well-being for all humans and our planet.
We believe that in our complex and interconnected world where changes happen unprecedentedly fast, humanity can only thrive sustainably through actions that help regenerate ecosystems ánd build communities and economies simultaneously. It is not an either/or choice.
We envision a future that is equitable, inclusive, and in collaboration with nature. We promise to develop novel solutions to shape this new reality, in co-creation with you. We will guide you to make a meaningful difference while increasing your success rate and help you leverage the opportunities of exponential technologies and human-centred leadership.
CATALYSING SYSTEMIC CHANGE
Our actions and services are diverse and driven by an aligned purpose. Catalysing and cultivating holistic well-being for people and our planet.
We drive systemic change through
- Coaching & mentoring;
- Training & co-learning;
- Our Changemaker Collective;
- Innovation Sprints, Hackathons & Solution Labs;
- Immersive workshop design & facilitation,
- Experiences & Expeditions;
- Youth-driven innovation & community-centred action.
We work holistically and bring about shifts of Self, Mindset, and Beliefs. We help people and organizations grow their impact—in synergy with others, and in balance with nature.
A HOLISTIC AND SYSTEMIC APPROACH
We use holistic and emerging organizational paradigms to put attributes like synergy, inner development, regenerative leadership, evolutionary purpose, and impact accounting at the core of what you do.
Our approach is awareness-based, research-backed and nature-inspired. We embrace youth-driven innovation and community-centred action.
Our coaches are specialised in building purpose-driven and happy organizations. We guide changemakers and organizations from idea to future-proof & market-ready solutions.
We weave our broad expertise into our innovation expeditions for corporates and public sector to strengthen a culture of innovation and intrapreneurship'
We train you in (eco)systems thinking, Regenerative Leadership, and futures thinking, and connect you with others to scale up your impact.
Our collaboration methods (online, hybrid and in-person) accelerate innovation and facilitate transformational change.
LEADING FROM AN EMERGING FUTURE WITH A COLLECTIVE MINDSET AND NEW SOLUTIONS.
We believe that we cannot achieve full planetary well-being until we bridge humanity's divides in opinions and opportunities. This is why we work across the domains of Self, Group/Team, Community/Organization, and our interdependence with nature.
We design work and life happiness & resilience programs for individuals and organizations, and re-imagine and facilitate systems transformation in:
- Education;
- Food (incl. Regenerative Agriculture and AgTech);
- Health;
- Infrastructure (incl. Equitable Housing);
- and Social (eco)systems.
We cultivate capacities and foster the emergence of new paradigms and a synergistic evolution of the way we, humans and organizations, approach and design our futures around:
- equitable economies & sustainability;
- healthy & low-impact living;
- leadership & governance;
- diversity & inclusion;
- peace & coexistence;
- humanity & nature
We look forward to working with you to co-create the future.
CONNECTING AND EMPOWERING EACH OTHER. LEADING BY DOING.
We are an inclusive community of doers of all ages, beliefs and backgrounds.
We believe that we can only realise holistic outcomes in an emerging future when we collectively change the ingredients and recipes with which we have crafted the past and present. It takes more than new solutions and technologies. Mindset shifts, intentional collaboration, and connection are critical.
We invite purpose-driven leaders across all levels to work with us to bring about a transformational behavioural and systems change. Help us realise a world where both human and planetary life thrives. A future with integrative and holistic approaches to education & learning, food & regenerative agriculture, healthy and affordable living, and a life in synergy with nature.
We cannot do any of it without funding, partners and collaborators. We invite you to contact us and work together to help realise a future of well-being? At work, in your communities, in schools, organizations, governments, and in nature.

WE SHIFT MINDSETS AND FACILITATE HOLISTIC INNOVATION
"Together with our clients, partners, and volunteers, we design and co-create holistic and future-proof solutions. We are not after 'band-aid' solutions or 'short-term' cures. But we all know that leading with purpose and solving complex challenges through systemic change is no easy task.
We are committed to work with you, are you?"
MICHAEL SMITS - FOUNDER METAMORPHANY CHANGEMAKERS
“The Metamorphany team has really enriched the learning experiences of many 6, 7, and 8 graders here. The students and staff loved working and learning in a new way, while co-creating innovative solutions for the SDGs. We are very appreciative of everything Metamorphany has done for the benefit of the young learners of our school and district.”
VICE PRINCIPAL, BC, CANADA - SCHOOL DISTRICT 38
“It would be an understatement to pronounce the immense value Metamorphany brings to the process of positive change in Canada's housing crisis. Besides being an innovation partner and solution lab consultant, having Metamorphany and the diverse team of practitioners on board has already brought benefits that I don't think either of us can yet fully imagine. Metamorphany's holistic leadership approach in their facilitation and co-creation methods is transformative.”
NATIONAL HOUSING STRATEGIST, CANADA
“Metamorphany team's passion for showing others how to develop an inquiring, innovative and entrepreneurial mindset is contagious. Inspired by their research-based, progressive ideas around the urgency for educational change. I feel very powerfully the need for change in the system. Metamorphany's superpower is its vision matched with the combined experience of all practitioners involved. They are doers, and inspire their clients to create their own impact and be their own changemaker. I strongly believe in their purpose, and their philosophy and have unwittingly employed parts of their process in my own teaching with great success.”
APPLIED DESIGN, SKILLS, AND TECHNOLOGY COORDINATOR AND EDUCATIONAL FACILITATOR, BC, CANADA - SCHOOL DISTRICT 37
“With our startup, we took part in an online challenge shaping the Future of Education for Southern Africa. Michael from Metamorphany Changemakers acted as our Purpose Coach, Workshop Facilitator, and Innovation mentor. We really enjoyed working with him and the structured process he guided us through during the Sprint. I feel fortunate that we were paired with him as he was a perfect match for our team. We loved the challenge and the experience, and I can’t believe how fast it went. I am amazed at how much we accomplished in such little time under his guidance. I look forward to working with him and Metamorphany more, and I really enjoyed some of the ways other mentors from the community provided feedback.”
CO-FOUNDER & CEO - EARLY-STAGE US STARTUP IN VIRTUAL REAL ESTATE
“We are so happy that such a purposeful relationship has been created and is going on. Michael has worked with us as a speaker and workshop facilitator on Purpose and Impact. Metamorphany genuinely lives its values and purpose. Their passion and commitment to it is overwhelming and it is so beautiful to feel it. Their application of new structured and holistic frameworks for systemic change is impressive!”

“The 8 and 9 graders in our Highly Able Learners Program have demonstrated high potential, talent and ability. They are intelligent and creative students that test the boundaries of our educational system daily. They loved the immersive learning approach and challenge Metamorphany's Youth Innovation Program brought them. They were engaged and we've seen new leaders and changemakers emerge. I would've loved to work with Michael and his team for a longer period of time to continue to nurture the social entrepreneurship flame that Metamorphany has sparked with their program. They really worked as equal partners with our students.”
