Jan Keck is a recovering shy guy, people-loving introvert, and a deep connector.

He is also is a Facilitation Skills Trainer, Workshop Facilitator, Experience Designer, TEDx Speaker.

His mission is to teach empathetic leaders how to design group experiences that spark engagement, increase trust, and foster deep connections - so nobody feels left out.

Jan believes that gatherings without intentional structure inadvertently perpetuate patterns of oppression, and it’s the responsibility of the leaders to ensure everyone feels seen and heard - especially the introverted, quiet, and shy folks.

Did you know you can warm up your meetings without cheesy icebreakers, build trust without trust falls, and facilitate vulnerable conversations without participants feeling they’re in therapy?

There’s nothing that breaks Jan’s heart more than witnessing individuals trapped in awkward icebreakers, feeling more isolated despite being in a group.

This is why he is currently dedicating his time and energy into writing his first book “Ice Melters”, where he advocates to ditch traditional Ice Breakers and shares his framework to increase engagement, build trust and foster deep connections - without making people cringe.

Jan is driven by a simple belief: real, deep connection beats small talk, every single time.
