About Gabriël Anthonio

Prof. Dr. Gabriël Anthonio is a highly sought-after speaker for conferences, seminars, and retreats. His lectures and masterclasses are consistently rated 8+. He is a scientist, executive, and advisor to leaders and professionals in their change challenges. He approaches leadership from a human perspective: how do you positively influence others and give meaning to what is happening in and around you?

In his lectures and books, the struggle of our inner world and how one can relate to the outside world are portrayed in an inspiring and enlightening way. He always works from the inside out. First personal reflection, then making connections with others. Self and joint journeys are key concepts here. His accessible and inspiring books, such as Het Zwitsers Zakmes van de Leider (2018), Het leven Praat Terug (2019), De Vorstenspiegel (2020), De Sleutels van de Leider (2021), Stilstaan bij Persoonlijk Leiderschap (2023) and Perspectiefrijk Leiderschap (2025) are bestsellers. In these books, he uses the personal journey and story to clarify complex yet recognizable situations, creating an inviting perspective.

After many years as an executive in public organizations—often stepping in during times of crisis—he now works as an Associate Partner at the Galan Group. Additionally, he was a special professor of Leadership, Organizations, and Sustainability at the University of Groningen for ten years. As of January 1, 2025, he will be a special professor at the Theological University of Apeldoorn on the theme of Values-Driven Leadership.

Gabriël is an inspiring speaker, group facilitator, and supporter in organizational change challenges. He appeals not only to the intellect but also to the heart and behavior of people. In addition to theory and practical stories, he always offers concrete tools to take immediate action—so that leaders can increase their impact, in context, with vision and results.
