Mental Health Responder

Matthias Scheffelmeier

(he/him)

Germany

Having worked in the social innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem for the past 15+ years, with a focus on connecting people, ideas and resources, I bring extensive facilitation experience. As a self-taught facilitator (whose later on benefited greatly from Greta’s wisdom, tools and trainings) I’d describe myself as someone who relies a lot on their intuition, sensing a group’s energy and going with the flow. I have designed and led over 50 workshops, retreats, and multi-stakeholder processes involving foundations, nonprofit networks, corporate stakeholders and changemakers across many countries, regions, cultures and contexts. While I strongly believe in the value of structure, good prep and well thought-through flows, I enjoy and am able to adapt formats, content and approaches to the moment, group and energy.
