Jan Reinder Rosing

As the European Debate Champion, Jan Reinder made his way into the world of training. He founded a company and published The Debate Guide. Yet he feared spending the rest of his life focused only on persuasion and debate, so he became a diplomat. In that role, he served the Netherlands and the European Union, working in places such as Turkey and Brussels. There, he discovered the power of connection.

When he made peace with his family’s history during the Second World War, he no longer felt the need to save the world. That’s why, in 2019, he returned to guiding teams and individuals—this time with a focus on empathy and finding better ways forward together. Transformational work, systemic practice and empathic communication have been essential in Jan Reinder’s personal development, and he now loves sharing some of his insights with others.
