Hi! 👋 I'm Magdalena Jensen. I'm a leadership coach and cofounder mediator, and I help founders say the hard thing before it becomes the expensive thing.

I grew up the middle of three sisters, which made me the family peacekeeper long before I had a word for it. I learned early that conflict isn't something to avoid. It's where the important information is.

As a teenager, I watched a skilled mediator work with a group of 13-year-old girls in my younger sister's Waldorf classroom. Using Nonviolent Communication, she turned a room full of hurt into a real conversation. I've been hooked on NVC ever since.

I've lived in five countries (Mexico City is home now), speak four languages (English, Polish, Spanish and French), and have cofounded three companies: two for-profits, and a non-profit that took careful negotiation between seven partners. I know from the inside how much goes unsaid between partners when the stakes are high.

Today I work with founders, cofounder teams and VC-backed companies. Some come to me when a partnership is under strain. Many come for 1:1 leadership coaching: the conversation they're avoiding, how they show up under pressure, and how they lead their team.

I'm a certified mediator and a certified coach, and I work online and in person in Mexico City.

My work is guided by three values: sovereignty, freedom and integrity.

Ready to say what's been left unsaid?
