Javier Llerena 🇺🇸🇪🇸

Distinguished Fellow Coach 

I empower leaders to cultivate team dialogues that foster confidence, collaboration, and psychological safety.

Is your team feeling disconnected, stuck in silos, or playing it too safe to innovate?

You’re not alone—and you don’t have to fix it alone.

I’m Javier Llerena, Executive Facilitator and Leadership Coach at Re-Invent Consulting. I help leaders like you build teams that trust each other, communicate openly, and innovate with purpose.

With 30+ years of executive leadership experience, I know how hard it is to align people, manage change, and keep teams engaged—especially in hybrid or high-growth environments. That’s why my workshops are designed with you and for you, blending proven frameworks, real connection, and powerful facilitation that move teams from friction to flow.

Here’s what we’ll achieve together:

🔹 Build trust and open communication
🔹 Strengthen collaboration and decision-making
🔹 Ignite creativity and innovation
🔹 Align your team around a shared vision and clear goals

From nonprofits to Fortune 500s, I’ve helped organizations transform their culture—creating spaces where people feel safe, heard, and motivated to lead boldly.

If you’re planning a leadership retreat, launching a new team, or need to reset your culture, let’s create a transformational experience that sticks.

Professional Development Facilitator ►Leadership and Mental Fitness Coach► Workshop Creator

WHAT I DO: As a Transformational Leadership Development expert and a virtual facilitator experience maker, I help leaders and organizations create positive change! It’s that simple. My objective is to help leaders optimize their mission and maximize their growth by increasing profit, employee retention, ongoing sustainability while creating a positive company culture shift.

WHY IT MATTERS: 💥 Positive organizational change creates internal best practices, bringing together resources that initiate change within an organization. Improving these processes can be the key to unlocking the potential for your organization.

Such changes improve staff morale, levels of engagement, and communication, which all lends itself to a positive environment of productivity, effective processes, and higher retention of employees. This can be applied for the individual level all the way to the system (organization,)

 MY STORY: 👤 I am a passionate and resilient entrepreneur with 25 years of experience in bringing out the best in individuals and driving organizations to exponential growth. I thrive on coaching and facilitating inquiry-based conversations with individuals and groups that lead to endless positive changes in their organization. I am always learning new techniques and partnering with fellow consultants, coaches, and transformational facilitators to create a movement of cutting-edge organizations.

HOW IT WORKS: We start with a complimentary strategic session via Zoom to discuss your needs. We provide a detailed review of your current challenges, opportunities, and aspirations. We offer strategies for exponential outcomes regarding identity, resilience, and peer and systems change.

Ask Deep Questions

I lead comprehensive training programs designed to elevate facilitation skills across both in-person and virtual settings. I help leaders transform meetings, workshops, and trainings into dynamic, engaging environments that prioritize inclusivity and ensure every voice is heard, regardless of the setting.

💻 Facilitation Skills Trainer

If you’re looking for an engaging speaker and storyteller about human connection, facilitation, or team building, let's chat! My talks are highly interactive and keep audiences coming back.

🎤 TEDx and Interactive Keynote Speaker

I design group learning experiences that create deep connections and belonging. By facilitating meaningful experiences for events, conferences and teams I turn small talk into deep connections.

✨ Workshop Facilitator and Experience Designer

I help workshop instructors, presenters and facilitators take the overwhelm out of the tech, so they can focus on what they do best.

🎧 Zoom Host, Producer & Consultant

ASK DEEP QUESTIONS is more than just a deck of cards with thoughtful questions that go below the surface to create meaningful connections. 

I am working on creating more tools to empower people who feel disconnected to start a conversation that matters and I'm also supporting community builders (workshop facilitators, program leaders, conference organizers, retreat facilitators, managers, ...) to facilitate deep connections for their members, teams and attendees - online and offline.

🖥️ The Powerful Video Formula Online Course

🎥 Cinematographer

Helping businesses and entrepreneurs deeply connect with their best clients online with powerful videos.

We have helped our clients create videos that sell with our combined experience of over 20 years, worked on award-winning feature documentaries and created 200+ promotional business videos. Yes, we even helped one of our clients gather over 1.2 million views, 3,200 likes and 400+ comments for just one of their videos, turned our clients into YouTube celebrities and got invited to give “Being Charismatic on Video” workshops at various conferences across Canada.

We discovered that the most important thing for business owners who need to be on video to promote their business is to be happy with the way their videos look and the way they look on camera. If they are embarrassed about the way they come across on video, they will never use it to promote their business. 

So we created THE POWERFUL VIDEO FORMULA - a self-guided online course that teaches entrepreneurs and aspiring thought leaders how to create high quality video content.

Are you tired of the same old, unproductive meetings and workshops? Do you feel like you're not getting the engagement or results you need from your team?

🗣️ Let me tell you a secret: it's not your fault. The truth is, engaging people in a way that builds trust and connection is an art form. And as a recovering shy guy and people-loving introvert, I'm passionate about creating experiences that foster deep connections.

🤝 As a trainer, facilitator, and experience designer, I help empathetic leaders and teams create meaningful, inclusive experiences that build trust, empower vulnerability, and foster deeper connections. My mission is to ensure everyone feels seen and heard, especially the introverted, quiet and shy people.

If you're struggling with low engagement, difficult team dynamics, or participants who don't trust each other, I've got you covered. My workshops and programs are designed to tackle these challenges head-on, helping you and your team work better together.

💡 Together, we'll turn crickets into conversations, and side conversations into productive collaboration. No more wasting time on small talk or cringey icebreakers. Instead, we'll work together to create experiences that make your team feel seen, heard, and valued.

🤔 Don't believe in icebreakers? I get it. But trust me, my approach is different. By creating brave spaces and using ice MELTERS, my connection activities actually make people feel comfortable and engaged, not uncomfortable and anxious.

🌍 Over the past few years, I've trained thousands of people to create highly inclusive, engaging, and meaningful experiences when we can't be in the same room together. And now, I am writing my first book at icemeltersbook.com

🌟 At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to help people feel less alone and more connected. So if you're ready to take your team to the next level, let's talk.

📩 Send me a message and let's create magical human moments together - online and beyond.

I spend all day rewriting a core chapter of my Ice Melters book. Exhausted, ready to make dinner, I thought: "I need to share something on LinkedIn about what I wrote..."

So, here is a short quote that I hope inspires you this week to be a better listener 🙂

I am sharing a whole chapter of my upcoming book with my email list tomorrow. Are you already subscribed? 

www.icemeltersbook.com

Agree? 

The quicker we can get a group to overcome a challenge together that requires them to take a risk, step outside their comfort zone, and be vulnerable TOGETHER, the faster you create real impact.

This is from one of the final chapters of my Ice Melters book, which I have been writing today. I'll need some more beta readers by next week for anyone who wants to dig deeper into this topic!

But first, let me know if you agree or disagree below 👇

📧 This meeting could have been an email (but it doesn’t have to be)

You know the feeling.

You log into yet another meeting.

🥱 Energy low.

📵 Cameras are off.

😬 Someone’s droning on.

✉️ Half the team is checking emails.

By the end, nothing’s been decided.

No action taken.

And everyone leaves more drained than before.

Now multiply that by every week. Every team. Every project.


The cost isn’t just time — it’s momentum, morale, and missed opportunities.
When meetings lack engagement, …

They teach people it’s safer to stay quiet.
They chip away at trust, participation, and productivity.
And the longer it goes on, the harder it is to turn things around.


👉 It doesn’t have to be like this.

With just a few small changes, you can transform your meetings from energy-draining to energizing.

That's why I'm hosting my 'Make Meetings Matter' training for the 3rd time!

Last time, 150 people signed up and shared with me that it was one of the best online trainings they've ever attended.

In this 90-minute, interactive training, you’ll learn three simple yet powerful engagement strategies that will make your meetings more interactive, inclusive, and effective (whether in-person, hybrid, or virtual).


👉 Join the next Make Meetings Matter Training

Turn Boring Meetings into Engaging Experiences – Because ‘This Meeting Could Have Been an Email’ should never be said about yours!
