Jesper Jurcenoks

Jesper has turned the holy wound he received in childhood into a holy scar—one that became his superpower.

He grew up inside a dysfunctional family dynamic, where his survival depended on staying hyper-vigilant, reading emotional shifts in the room before they were spoken, and remaining calm—no matter the pressure.

These same strategies, once born from necessity, now allow him to be fully attuned to the people he works with. Jesper pays close attention, notices what others miss, listens without judgment, and asks questions only after deep reflection—holding space with a calming, grounded presence that often draws people into deeper honesty than they expected.

Many people who work with Jesper say that even just listening to him speak calms their nervous system. When they close their eyes and hear his words, something in them finally feels safe enough to soften.

Jesper’s empathetic leadership style was shaped through decades in tech and corporate management, where he supported teams navigating growth, conflict, burnout, and transitions. For over 40 years, he led tech teams and divisions—guiding companies through mergers, acquisitions, cybersecurity threats, and transformative growth—honing his capacity to help individuals and teams find calm and clarity amid stress.

In addition to his corporate leadership, Jesper has volunteered over 1,244 hours in festival harm reduction—providing non-confrontational mediation and ensuring participant safety. Rising quickly to a leadership role since 2015, he deepened his expertise in conflict resolution and crisis intervention in situations involving drug use, assault, domestic violence, and law enforcement interactions.

Jesper grounds himself by communing with nature and is dedicating his free time to creating an off-grid, sustainable mindfulness retreat in the Sierra Mountains east of San Francisco.

He has been a Radical Honesty Practitioner since 2017, trained by both the original generation of trainers—Brad Blanton and Taber—and the new generation.

In 2023, Jesper became Managing Director of the Radical Honesty Institute LLC; in April 2025, he transitioned to roles as RH Trainer Candidate, Board Member, and co-owner of RHI.
