About the author

Leen Vermeersch is a director, coach and author. With over 20 years’ experience in the financial sector and as a lobbyist at the highest levels of European decision-making, she discovered just how crucial empathetic communication is in complex environments. Today, she combines that strategic expertise with her passion for conversations that bring people together.

“Being able to have a good conversation is not a soft skill. It is the very heart of any human system.”

Taha Riani

Inclusion expert, speaker and strategic advisor, Forbes 30 Under 30

“We all have conversations every day, but we rarely stop to think about how they affect us. Leen manages to make that invisible interplay tangible. Through personal stories and scientific insights, she shows how small nuances can make a world of difference.”
